Load Guides Set of 4, angled back to prevent
contacting most spray fins. On our trailers you can move them to multiple
cross channels. For deep ramps move them to the second cross channel. For
shallow ramps put them in the back.
Swing Tongues Swing tongues have been
popular on trailers for fishing boats. People sometimes want to save about 30”
on the overall length of the trailer for storage. We don’t promote swing tongues
because we believe they weaken the tongue of the trailer. Swing tongues are not
available on Super Duty or other 5” frame models.
Aluminum Wheels Aluminum wheels on our
trailers contrast with the black finish and add a custom trailer look. We keep
the price reasonable by offering a fair exchange price for our standard
galvanized rims. Some companies charge extra for the aluminum rim but don’t give
you a discount for the galvanized rim your not getting.
Dress Up Kits Usually used on tandem axle
models. Aluminum tread plate is applied over the fender, on the frame and winch
stand steps. Like the aluminum rims it gives the trailer a real custom look.
Bolt On Tie Down Straps Can be fitted to any
of our trailers. The strap retracts for easy storage and no tangling. 2” wide
x 43” long fit all known pontoons. Pontoons should be strapped to the trailer
when traveling and this is an easy way to do it.
Triple Tube Kit A triple tube
bunk support kit can be added to all of our tandem or 5" framed trailers. “Sport” tubes are often
just a shorter tube bolted beneath the deck. It may not need to be supported,
they often weigh only a few hundred pounds. But center tubes that have an engine
in them or extend beyond the outside two tubes in the stern should be supported.
Most center tube supports go all the way to the back of the boat. However there
are some boats that have odd shaped transoms (Tracker) that won’t fit on full
length bunks. We know how to fit them all.
Stern Extensions Are a helpful option for
some brands of boats where the center tube extends beyond the two outside tubes.
The 28” stern extension helps support the center tube and engine that may extend
as much as 4’ beyond the back of the pontoon.
Plastic Bunk Wrap Helps you launch
and retrieve in shallow water. Plastic offers less friction than carpet and
boats slide more easily. Plastic bunk wrap replaces the carpet and lasts for
years.
Galvanizing & Salt Water
Galvanizing & Salt Water Because of the
excellent finish on our Spreuer and the extraordinary finish on our BTM trailer
we are not big proponents of galvanizing. Some small manufacturers that can’t
afford a powder coat system promote galvanizing. One company buys “galvaneel”
steel and welds it. They paint over the welds. These company's usually don’t
bend their frame because bending breaks the coating. Scratch a galvaneel trailer
and it will rust. Others including ourselves use the hot dipped galvanized process when you want a galvanized trailer. If you’re going to salt water, you
must have hot dipped galvanizing and disc brakes. Some companies that promote
galvanizing miss the fact that salt water will destroy the springs and parts in
drum brakes in just a couple submersions. We can get any trailer we sell
galvanized but it usually takes a few weeks. With hot dip galvanizing you’re at
the mercy of the galvanizer. Steel dipped in a clean (new) galvanic solution
will come out looking almost like chrome. Steel dipped in old galvanic solution
may come out a dingy gray with pieces of slag clinking to the trailer. Trailer
manufacturers have no control over what the galvanized finish looks like. Some
companies grind off the scraps of slag and touch it up with gray paint, in an
effort to improve the appearance. Once the galvanized surface is broken, your
trailer will rust.
