    Anglers Choice Trailer Tips.


    Remember to put the plug in the boat .




    Trailer Tips.

    Periodically check your trailer wheel bearings. If you begin to hear a loud roaring sound, they need to be replaced.
    Also remember the safety chain and make sure that the hitch connecter is clipped down on the ball.

    So while we are on the trailer issue Check YOUR BRAKES!
    Make sure your spare tire has air, proper air pressure for trailer tires is 50 PSI.
    Example: St215/75R14

    At Anglers Choice our job is to serve you. If your bearings go bad on your Ranger or Triton , Stratos or Lowe Trailer we have your bearing.

    i left the plug out of my stratos once. 150 boat tourney, everyone was offloading boats, no room to re-trailer. had my co-angler hold my legs while i slapped my face in the water to put the plug in. ended up upside down dang near to my belly button while he held my feet before i could finally reach the plug. after that, i never forgot again. it was also the last time i wore cotton shirts in a tourney. took forever for my shirt to dry! haha

    I've seen a LOT of boats get rotten because someone had the thought of leaving the plug in!


    Here is another thought:
    If you forget to put in the plug, put the plug in from the INSIDE of the transom @ the bilge area. Much safer! Getting your shirt tangled in your lower unit while trying to put in a plug could be deadly.

    Keep an extra rubber expansion-type plug in your boat just in case.

    In MN it is against the law to have your plug in while trailering. When this law went into effect in 2010 I forgot to put the plug in twice. I did find out that I can reach the plug by extending my arm between the jackplate on my Skeeter ZX190!
