Boat Trailer Servicing & Adjustments

At Caravan and Trailer Clinic Geelong, we don’t just “set up” boat trailers—we make sure they actually work in the real world. While many marine workshops focus on boats (not trailers), we specialise in trailers. That means we don’t just bolt on rollers, skids, or winches and send you on your way. We take the extra step of testing and fine-tuning your trailer so it performs where it matters—on the ramp and on the road.

When you book your boat trailer in with us, we’ll:

• Inspect every part of your trailer, not just the lights and wheels
   
• Adjust bunks, rollers, and fittings so your boat launches and retrieves smoothly
   
• Take it to the ramp (where required) to make sure your boat drives on and off without hassle
   
• Ensure your hull is properly supported for long-haul towing and protection on the road
   

Because we know one thing: marine dealerships know boats—we know trailers.

• Prevent accidents: Poorly balanced trailers can sway, fishtail, or even roll over.
   
• Stay in control: Correct weight distribution keeps your vehicle stable when braking or manoeuvring.
   
• Avoid failures: Bearings, brakes, and axles take a beating (especially after submersion). Regular checks prevent dangerous breakdowns.
   

• Protect the hull: Your boat is built for water, not the road. A properly set-up trailer cradles the hull evenly, preventing stress and cracks.
   
• Avoid long-term damage: Incorrect setups can strain the transom and other key areas, leading to costly repairs.
   

• Compliance matters: Avoid fines by keeping your trailer within legal load ratings.
   
• Reduce repair costs: A properly maintained trailer saves you from expensive fixes down the track.
   

• Capacity matching: Trailer load rating must exceed the boat’s total weight (fuel + gear included).
   
• Even support: Bunks and rollers adjusted to mimic how your hull is supported in water.
   
• Balanced weight: 5–10% of the total weight on the tow ball = stable towing, no sway.
   
• Secure tie-downs: Winch, chains, and straps fitted for zero movement on the road.
   
• Regular maintenance: Bearings, brakes, axles, and lights checked and serviced after exposure to water.
   

Your boat deserves more than a “quick once-over.” At Caravan and Trailer Clinic Geelong, we take the time to get it right—so you can launch smoothly, tow safely, and protect your investment.
