Thread: Check your trailer ball...

    ...next time you go out. I left the boat in Havasu this weekend and when I went take off the trailer I noticed the nut on the bottom of the ball had come loose...real loose. I probably only had a couple of rotations left before the nut would have dropped off! It wasn't loose at all when I hooked it up Friday night so it must have happened on the trip out. So, before anyone loses their trailer, take a couple of seconds to see if it's tight!
    That's my tip for the day, well that and don't pee in the wind.

    Yeah, it should be fun. We left the boat out there since we were going back this Thursday. It's a lot nicer when we don't tow the boat because Goldilocks gets to help with the drive!

    I was thinking how we could leave our boat.........somewhere, we have three trips in a row, this last weekend, next weekend and the following (all at different lakes)
    oh, well, I gotta clean the boat anyway............

    Always make sure your nuts are tight good advice
    I had a utility trailer do the same thing, caught it just in time

    Exactly! Who wants to lose a nut? Especially when you know a ball is next!

    You dont have a safety pin drilled thru just encase it loosens up it, won't come off

    I thought about that after I saw it. Do you know if you can buy them like that already?
