Finally, install tie-down hooks along the frame in order to properly secure the boat to your boat trailer. Mount the winch using a one-foot piece of square tubing at the boat trailer’s front end, and attach a small piece of carpet-covered wood to the front, as a stop. Then, install the light kit at the rear end of the trailer, and run the wires through tubes to the front. Our well-stocked parts department has any trailer part that you may need. We also have complete repair facilities on-site, including fabrication, welding and painting. Step 6 - FinishĪttach the hitch securely to the front end of the center beam. Our Orleans location has a wide selection of trailers for sale, including enclosed cargo, dump, utility/landscape, and boat trailers and truck beds. Then, attach your wheels and tighten the lugs. Step 5 - Add WheelsĪttach hubs to the axles, being certain to pack both the bearings and hubs with grease. Cover the studs with indoor-outdoor carpet to protect the boat’s finish and to make loading and unloading the boat easier. We manufacture, sell and provide fitment information for Canoe trailers, Kayak trailers, PWC trailers, Motorcycle trailers, Boat trailers, Catamaran trailers, ATV trailers, Bicycle trailers, Scooter trailers, Trailer Accessories & Receiver Hitch Accessories - We also make conversion kits to allow Thule & Yakima products to. Space the studs so they are located about six inches to the inside of the location where each side of the boat will rest above them. These should be installed in such a way as to be able to swivel slightly, in order to conform to the boat’s bottom. The two 2x4 studs should now be mounted to the crossbeams using galvanized steel U-brackets. U-bolts should be placed with threads facing downwards. Step 4 - Attach FrameĪttach these assembled parts of the boat trailer to the center beam with two U-bolts on each crossbeam. Use a drill to make the necessary holes to bolt these pieces into place. Fix the right and left galvanized tubing in place at both ends, and to the axle mounts in the middle. These should be attached parallel to and level with the center beam of the boat trailer. Step 3 - Add SupportĬut two 2 1/2-inch pieces of tubing for the support of the crossbeams.
Then, place the rear crossbeam about two feet from the rear end of the trailer, and place the front crossbeam approximately two feet in front of the rear one. Mount these tubes on the upside of the backbone tube using galvanized U-straps. These pieces will be used as crossbeams, to distribute the weight of the boat on the trailer. Step 2 - Attach CrossbeamsĬut two pieces of galvanized tubing to the same width as the mounting pads of the axle kit. Your galvanized tube must be cut to this length, as it will form the backbone of the trailer. Then, add four feet to the boat’s length to get the finished length of your new trailer. Measure the width and length of your boat.
