[@marktaylor1498]

Great tips also need to mention having the correct size towball to match the trailer coupling is a must

I used to put a bit of grease on the tow ball to reduce friction.

Good tips. I can't see a need to replace towballs especially on a trip but there is always a first time. Noticed you had electric boat winch. Friend uses 1:10 winch with 18V drill, works a treat on his 2500kg boat. Don't have to worry about electrics and salt water or charging 12V battery on trailer. Still has handle just in case.

Love the colour of that boat.

Good work. Very good practical advice. Maybe some pre greased bearings in a sealed plastic bag in the spares box 🤔 Additionally, a good rule of thumb, upon return, unloading/ disconnecting the coupling on an inclined or declining parking area, ALWAYS ensure to keep your chains connected to your tow vehicle till the very end. This is to ensure your boat and trailer do not go sailing down the road or end up in your neighbours lounge room because the wheel chocks were either forgotten or not bedded in properly. Cheers.

Use bearing buddies. 20yrs and 100s of launches out one set of bearings.
