Towing your boat safely is the only option. See some of our tips to keep you, and others, safe on the road while towing your boat trailer.

Using LED lights on your boat trailer has become a standard that everyone should follow. An LED is a solid-state, semiconductor device that has been specially designed to emit light. In fact, "LED" is an acronym meaning "Light Emitting Diode." At the heart of the LED is a tiny diode that generates light when a small electric current is applied. Unlike traditional, incandescent lights that use bulbs, LED lamps do not use delicate wire filaments that stretch, weaken and eventually fail.

Learn how to manually bleed your boat trailer braking system. It is important to read all instructions on how to bleed the braking system for your specific boat trailer. We recommend two people to get the job done right.

The VAULT “Hybrid Lubrication System” uses a semi-fluid oil in a pressurized chamber to give you the ultimate in wheel bearing lubrication and protection. At ambient temperatures, the oil is thick with a viscosity approaching grease. As the bearing temperature rises during towing, the VAULT’s hybrid oil thins out replenishing the bearings with lubricant and dissipating heat. No inspection, no maintenance and no service required.

A unique design for superior braking. Atwood hydraulic brake actuators are designed with your safety in mind. Their unique design creates more pressure at the brakes than in-line actuator systems. Parts are interchangeable between 6K and 8K actuators. Lock-out feature allows use with standard hydraulic brakes for backing up. No need for specific free-backing brakes. The Atwood breakaway device will set trailer brakes automatically should separation from tow-ball occur while driving.
