Your boat trailer plays a vital role in your boating experience. Imagine not having a functioning trailer. You obviously would not be able to transport your boat to water but, more importantly, a faulty trailer during transport could endanger you, your family, and others around you. Trailer set up, maintenance and regular inspection are imperative.
Our Aluminium Trailers are universally suitable for most recreational boats and as such can be custom fit to accommodate your boat. Never exceed the ATM of the trailer. ATM = tare weight of the trailer + load weight.
All Ozi Alloy trailers are covered by our warranty for a minimum of 12 months from the date of purchase and Ozi Alloy chassis are warranted for 3 years.
Warranty does not cover ‘off-road’ use. Warranty is transferable to subsequent purchasers . Warranty is applicable to parts and labour. A condition of warranty is that the trailer be returned to the original place of purchase @ the GCCM. Modifications or unauthorised repairs carried out by third parties will not be covered by warranty. Warranty will not cover wear and tear items such as Brake Linings, Wheel Bearings or Seals.
All Ozi Alloy Trailer Models are certified by an independent vehicle engineering company on the Gold Coast to meet or exceed the national vehicle design rules. Any modification, design change, or addition to the original design will void manufactures warranty unless approved in writing by the manufacturer.
It is important that the towball height on the vehicle suits the size of the wheels, so the trailer is parallel to the ground. If the towball height is too low, most of the weight will be on the front axle and potentially cause bearing failure, the trailer will fish tail over 80km/h and likewise if too high.
Never exceed the ATM, the trailer tare and boat / load weight. Ensure your load is balanced and that approximately 6-10% of the total weight of boat and trailer is on the tow ball of the towing vehicle. Too much ‘ball weight’ will cause steering difficulties on the towing vehicle. Too little ‘ball weight’ will cause ‘fish tailing’ which is an extremely dangerous condition leading to loss of steering control and potentially fatal results.
Check your bearings regularly, clean and repack bearings every 6 months with new grease. See your invoice for bearing and grease seal sizes / codes. Do not put this off. There are mobile mechanics who will come out to your trailer, or book in and we can give the trailer a bearing service for you.
