The Trailer Is Half the Boat
Bearings, straps, lights, tyres, spare wheel. A ski trailer is small — that makes it easier to neglect.
Launching Etiquette
Prep in the car park, launch fast, park the trailer, go. The ramp is not a place to rig.
New Destinations
A ski on a trailer is the most portable boat on the water. Use that — go somewhere new every season.
Things to Think About
- When did you last inspect your bearings and straps properly?
- How long does your ramp routine take — and who's watching?
- Where would you tow to if you had a long weekend ahead?
Key Takeaways
- Trailer maintenance is boat maintenance.
- A fast, calm ramp routine earns you respect.
- Portability is the PWC's superpower — use it.
