it's pretty easy to find Mark even with Reids disablities you should be all right but then again you are following Reid so all bets are off.

That does cover it !

We trail our boat quite a bit and do make some long trips ..so I'll add this...it's a good idea to make a couple early stops along the side of the road and feel the hubs for heat just to make sure all is well! Each time you gas or stop, do the same and look things over ...if it is all checking out ok you will feel more at ease as you travel along!

Also..I tip my pitots up...I was told higher interstate speeds can blow too much air pressure through them. Tip your ski mirror down so the person behind you does not get a face full of sun shine!



see ya there!

your going to need a jack for the trailer, and tools to redo the bearings if needed.4 way lug wrench is handy as well.

I would suggest repacking the bearings now and inspecting them in the process incase they need replaced or an oil seal is bad. Check the tread depth and look for weather cracking in the sidewalls of the tires. Take a spare but make sure they look like they'll make the trip. Double check the wiring front to back looking for loose connections or losely tied/secured wires to the trailer. Look at the shackel bolts and bushings make sure they look good and are not cracked or worn out. Check out the leaf springs/coil springs. Take care of the trailer now while you have a few weeks to get parts and replace them as needed.

maks sure the safty chain is mounted securely, get a strap for the back of the boat so it's not hopping around on the trailer. Make sure your fenders aren't bent and rubbing the tires, don't over load the boat so that the fenders rub the tires. Check the road cover and make sure the tie downs are secure, check the tie down's for cuts fray's that could break in route.

if your looking for a tool list, spare parts list if you make sure that the tires are in good shape, the lugs are torqued properly and the bearings are in good shape and packed with grease then you really don't need too many tools or spare parts and can worry a lot lease.

But I guess to be safe than sorry, it might go like this.

Spare hub, bearing, oil seal, spare tire, jack, wheel chalks, lug wrench, cotter pin, tools to change hub/bearings if needed. A lock for the trailer, spare bulb's/trailer lights.

as Long as you go over the trailer and inspect everything and replace/repair as needed then you can sleep easy. Inflate the tires to the proper pressure before you leave. Double check all the lights are working
you should be good to go. Oh and one last thing run the gas out of the tank on the boat no need to hual the extra weight all that distance and the gas prices might even be cheaper where your going.
