How many times have you been traveling down the highway and see a boat & trailer on the side of the road missing a wheel? Have you ever been out fishing or boating, and been flagged down by a boater in distress, or noticed a boat being towed in because they had broken down. Hot Wheel Check Heat Labels can help eliminate this from happening by monitoring your trailer wheels for excessive heat from your brakes or bearings.
If you spend a great deal of time pulling your boat down the road, or on the water, chances are that eventually you will fall victim to one, or both scenarios. It’s impossible to know when your motor may break down due to mechanical failures, but if you invest a little bit of time with Pre-Trip Inspections in advance of heading out, you can certainly mitigate your risk of being stranded on the side of the road, or on the water.
Pre-Trip Inspections: Pre-Trip inspections don’t have to be time consuming or a big deal, but we all should have a mental checklist to help ensure a relaxing and enjoyable trip on the water. Whether you’re trailering your boat once or twice a month for a few miles to your local boat ramp, or trailering it daily for miles at a time, your pre-trip inspection may be different. Letting your boat sit-up in the barn can be just as hard on it as towing it every day. Regardless of how frequent, or how far you are towing your boat, you should make it a habit to carry out routine pre-trip inspections.
Bearings – It’s very difficult to know how many miles you put on your trailer between bearing inspections and greasing your hubs. And with some of the newer hubs & bearings that are on the market today, make Hot Wheel Check Heat Labels part of your inspection routine.
