There are multiple things to consider when purchasing the right trailer for your boat and/or watercraft.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to figure Carrying Capacity needed for trailer?
boat weight + engine weight + ((fuel capacity x 7 lb / gal)+(water capacity x 8 lb / gal) = Total
Then multiply Total X 1.1= Trailer Capacity Needed
To calculate needed trailer capacity, calculate the total weight including the boat, the engine, a full fuel tank (approximately 7 lbs. per gallon), full water tanks (if applicable) and your personal gear. A good rule of thumb is to use 10% of boat, motor, and liquid weights for personal gear. Select a trailer with the next highest capacity rating. If you intend to carry additional gear or luggage in the boat over long distances, consider the weight of these items, too.
What Length of Trailer Will I Need?
Front of a vessel
LENGTH OVERALL
Length of the hull excluding any attachments
Steering device, usually a vertical blade attached to a post at, or near, the stern of the boat
Rear of a vessel
Length overall is measured from the tip of the bow in a straight line to the stern of the vessel. Bowsprits; rudders; outboard motors and motor brackets; handles; and other fittings, attachments, and extensions are not included in the measurement.
How do I measure my axle?
To get the proper sizing of axle you will need 3 basic measurements. Hub Face to Hub Face, Spring Center, and Flanges . Best way to get an accurate measurement is to take the wheels off of the trailer. Be sure to support your trailer with jack stands.
What kind of Springs does my trailer have?
Trailer Springs come in a variety of sizes. Pontoon and boat Tandem trailers have a double eye spring, Boat and Pontoon trailers with singe axle have slipper springs. Watercraft trailers have slipper springs.
What does the model number specify?
The model number on your trailer determines what kind of trailer, what size boat will fit on your trailer, the load capacity, and characteristics.
The first letter or letters determine what kind of trailer you have,
WC= Watercraft
WCA= Watercraft Aluminum
P= Pontoon Economy
PB= Pontoon Deluxe
PTB= Pontoon Standard
A= Aluminum
No letter= Boat Trailer
The first set of numbers determine the boat length that will fit on the trailer.
ex. P1623 (16' boat) 2459TB (24' boat)
The second set of numbers specifies the approx load capacity of the trailer.
ex. 2050TB (5000lb Capacity) 1830TB (2930lb Capacity)
The last letter or letters of a model give characteristics of the trailer.
F- Flat frame
BW= Bunk Wide Frame
BG= Bunk Galvanized
FG= Flat Galvanized
TBG= Tandem Bunk Galvanized'
TRBG= Tripple Axle Bunk Galvanized
What if there is a 3rd toon on my pontoon boat?

Where can I get parts for my trailer?
Parts can be purchased through the dealer where you purchased the trailer. Or you can order parts at allyourtrailerparts.com
What kind of maintenance will my trailer entail?
Bearing service should occur once a year, prior to putting the trailer away for storage. Un-serviced bearings will hold moisture and the bearings will rust during idle time. Lithium Plex Red Grease #2 is the recommended grease for Hubs.
All of your maintenance can be found in your trailer manual that you can download under the resources page.
What kind of Warranty Comes with my trailer?
The trailer structure frame has a 2 year warranty for any manufacturer defects from the time of purchase.
The warranty is for original purchaser only and does not extend to future buyers of the trailer.
Any item that bolts to the frame carries its own warranty. Couplers, Tongue Jacks, Springs, Axles, Tires, and Lights all have seperate warranties. See the resources page for more details.
How much Tongue Weight Should I Have?
The general rule is 5% - 10% of the gross load weight. Do not overload hitch or coupler/actuator tongue weight rating. Make sure trailer is sitting level during transport.
Why are my Disc Brakes locking up when Backing
Disk brake actuators have a backup solonoid built into them. The backup solenoid is hooked up using the 5 flat connector or 7 round with the blue wire activating the solenoid when the tow vehicle is put into reverse. Some actuators also have a manual brake lockout to use to lock out the brakes IMPORTANT - Do not leave manual lock out in place
Where can I find my Trailer VIN Number?
The trailer VIN number or serial number is a 17 digit number located on the VIN label. Yacht Club trailers will have the VJN label on the left side (Drivers) of the trailer frame.
