Trailers & Towing
Unless you are lucky enough to have your own private mooring, towing trailers is a must for PWC owners. As some PWC users regularly immerse their trailers into corrosive salt water it pays to take some time in your normal routine to look after your investment not only from a practical point of view but to ensure everyones safety.This web page will guide you through some of the different trailer types, identify some basic maintenance tips and will show you where to look for further reading and advice on towing and the law.
This is a Roller trailer, and you can see the individual "wobble" rollers that support the Jetski. These are very easy to use and becuase you are lauching and recovering on moving rollers the whole procedure is made very easy. With this type of trailer, you do not need to completely immerse the trailer to float the craft off and you can literally roll the jetski off the back of the trailer. These types of trailer typically cost more than the bunk trailer.
This Type of Trailer is known as a bunk trailer due to the layout of the supporting spans.
These trailers are very popular and typically are cheaper than the roller model. maintenance is far easier becuase their is less moving parts as there are no rollers to maintain or get damaged.
Towing & the Law
Towing trailers is covered by road traffic legislation and it is your responsibility to understand the law.Fortunately, the National Trailer and Towing Association (NTTA) has a very good website dedicated to this very subject so rather than duplicate this you can download their guide of Safe Towing or you can vist the NTTA webiste directly.
