Don’t Let Your Boat Trailer Ruin Your Vacation – Get It Inspected First!

There’s nothing more frustrating than planning the perfect getaway—boat loaded, bags packed, cooler full—only to end up stuck on the side of the highway because your boat trailer failed halfway through the trip.

For many boaters in Western New York, trailers sit unused all winter long. While your boat may be ready for the water, your trailer could be hiding serious issues that only show up when it’s too late. That’s why a professional inspection and tune-up before your first trip of the season is essential.

At General Welding & Fabricating, we specialize in boat trailer repairs and NYS inspections to make sure your summer starts off without a hitch—or with one!

Common Issues We See with Boat Trailers:

Bearings: Water can sit in wheel bearings, leading to corrosion and failure.
Rust Damage: Steel frames and undercarriages can weaken from rust, especially if stored outside.
Trailer Brakes: Sitting idle can cause brake lines to leak or seize—creating a major safety hazard.
Fender Deterioration: Broken or rusted fenders expose your boat to flying debris and road hazards.
Lights & Wiring: Moisture and cold can cause electrical systems to fail.
Hitch & Coupler Wear: These critical connection points often get overlooked but are key to safe towing.
