Towing capacity is one of those things that’s easy to overlook, especially when you’re excited about a new boat or trailer.

But getting it wrong can affect your vehicle’s stability, your braking performance, and your insurance cover.

Every vehicle has a manufacturer-rated towing capacity. The weight of your trailer and everything loaded on it needs to sit within that limit comfortably. Not close to it, within it.

If you’re not sure whether your setup is sorted, give us a call. We’re happy to help you work it out.

The remote winch is one of those features that sounds like a nice-to-have until you’ve actually used one.

No standing next to the winch, no cable tethering you to it. You can be at the back of the boat, out to the side, wherever you need to be. Two buttons and the boat’s on.

Low ratio winch means it doesn’t slow down with a six metre boat on it. The boat always comes back on the trailer.

Simple as that!

The trailer for our pontoon build is done and this one was designed specifically for beach launching.

A few features worth pointing out:

🌊 The Teflon bunks and skids are set up so the boat self-centres onto the keel rollers every time, no matter where the bow hits the trailer. Really useful when you’re retrieving in surf.

🌊 The spare wheel drops down to act as a third wheel on the beach, so you can push the trailer in and out of the tidal zone without needing the jockey wheel.

🌊 And the coupling moves in multiple directions, not just side to side, so the trailer follows the tow vehicle naturally over rough terrain.

🌊 6000 pound electric winch, big wide tyres with good clearance, and low entry for easy loading.

The trailer is done. The boat is still in its fit out stage.

More to come on our Pathfinder Series, stay tuned!!!

The boats are out of the water, which means the trailers come in.

Custom builds, repairs, servicing, parts.

It's always a good mix of work and we enjoy every bit of it.

If you've got a trailer project in mind (big or small), come and have a chat.

We'd love to hear what you're working on.

Your coupling is the one thing connecting your trailer to your tow vehicle. It does that job every single trip, through vibration, salt air, and whatever the road throws at it.

Over time it wears and because it doesn’t fail dramatically, it’s easy to miss until something goes wrong.

Here’s what’s worth checking:

⚙️ The coupling head should latch cleanly and sit flush on the towball with no play or wobble. If you can move the coupling around on the ball once it’s locked, the jaws are worn and it needs replacing.

⚙️ Also check that the locking mechanism is engaging properly and that the safety latch is in good shape.

A coupling that’s past its best is a straightforward fix.

We stock quality couplings that you can shop online, but if you’re not sure what fits your trailer, come in and we’ll sort it out.

You know the one.

The light that flickers.

The coupling that doesn’t quite latch the way it used to.

The bearing that sounds a bit different on the highway.

The rust that’s been creeping in.

Easy to put off when you’re using the trailer regularly.

But with the boat out of the water and the trailer
not going anywhere, now’s actually a good window to sort it.

Bring it in and we’ll take a proper look. We’ll tell you what it needs and get it sorted.

We’re based in Glenfield, North Shore. Give us a call on 09 444 5571 or flick us an email at [email protected]
