Boat Trailer - 3 Effective Tips For Selecting The Right Accessories!

By Abhishek Agarwal


Hello and welcome to the world of boating and boat trailer accessories: it's a wide, wide world out there with many new and varied trimmings now available for boat owners looking to jazz up their beauties to make sailing adventures funky and functional at the same time. This craving for fun accessories that are transcend the boundaries of mere functionality to also provide a style quotient to the boat is the reason why are thinking beyond comfort in boat trailer accessories and going all out to buy tools they can take with them or just leave on board, in order to simplify life on the moving waters.

Among the many different kinds of boat trailer accessories one can buy is the part that ensures proper anchorage of the boat to the trailer unit; tie downs like the ratcheting hook and latch varieties are a popular trimming option often considered by boat owners looking for family or romantic fun as with more people aboard the boat trailer, accessories become more important.

1. These accessories are useful to stretch across and function as links behind your boat to ensure it stays attached to the trailer unit in case of a problem with breakage of other security device; besides this, owners can look at different kinds of pulleys that can help lift the boat up to the trailer and keep it out of the water. The advantage of such a winch is that this will lock itself in place as the first security measure for a boat that could have floated away if not supported by tie-downs.

2. Useful boat trailer accessories include those that help a boat owner to affix the vessel in case of a need to tow it ashore. The only precaution a boat owner needs to take when buying a hitch is to ensure compatibility of the parts to enable ease in hooking up to prevent anyone from stealing these. Rollers for transferring the boat (so it can slide on to a trailer bed) with minimal risk to the hull are another good idea.

3. For those boat owners looking to perform some necessary boat maintenance operations on the trailer, there are several trailer jacks that are useful for air up or replacing trailer tires and oiling of moving parts; these ensure boat trailers stay in top condition. Support devices for checking light and wiring on the trailer, storage options for seat fabric protectors, a dehumidifier to keep mildew at bay and scraps for basic fabric seat cover repairs are other accessory ideas you can consider.

Chains as good boat trailer accessories that secure the boat are a good choice as are tarpaulin covers for all weather protection for the boat, when not in use.

Hints About buying a sailboat

Most monohulls larger than a dinghy require ballast, depending on the design ballast will be 20 to 50 percent of the displacement. The ballast is often integrated into their keels as large masses of lead or cast iron. This secures the ballast and gets it as low as possible to improve it's effectivness. External keels are cast in the shape of the keel. A monohull's keel is made effective by a combination of weight, depth and length.

Marinas are the top of the range as far as moorings are concerned. Moorings in a marina tend to provide deep water throughout the day and therefore a jetty or pontoon is provided so that you can walk to your boat without getting wet.These are known as Pontoon Moorings. They will also provide most of the facilities that you require whilst using your boat. These may include showers and toilets, chandlery, parking, cafe and even a clubhouse. The security provided by a marina will be good and in many cases will include electronic access gates and CCTV camaras.

A schooner can have two or more masts, the aftermost mast taller or equal to the height of the forward mast(s), distinguishing this design from a ketch or a yawl. Top sail schooners are rigged to carry a square sail near the top of their foremast, but generally modern schooners are gaff or marconi rigged.
