Storage, trailering & winter
- How do boat trailer brakes work?Boat trailers use a mechanical overrun system where the trailer's forward momentum compresses the tow hitch, pulling cables to activate the drum brakes.
- How do you properly winterise a boat's water heater and freshwater system?Properly winterise a boat's freshwater system by draining the calorifier completely and pumping non-toxic marine antifreeze through all taps and hoses.
- How do you winterise a boat to prevent frost damage?Winterising a boat requires flushing the engine with antifreeze, draining domestic plumbing, treating diesel, and managing moisture to prevent frost damage.
- What are the best rollers to use on a boat trailer for easy launching?Polyurethane rollers are the best choice for boat trailers. They never mark your hull, spin freely under heavy loads and easily outlast standard rubber.
