Quick, probably dumb trailer question:
I boat on a small river. Typically in-season we have docks in place so there's an accessible place to keep the boats. I want to get this skiing season started sooner than later, and our docks (not even courtesy dock) won't be in until the end of April. The shore of the river isn't really accessible by boat. With no docks that seems to leave me the options of
- Leaving the trailer in the water on the ramp while we ski (assuming I'm pretty sure nobody else will need the ramp), or
- Someone wading/swimming out to the boat/in to shore
I guess for convenience's sake I'd prefer to just leave it on the ramp in the water. In the event someone pulled in and needed the ramp we are in sight of the ramp. I assume since that the trailers are supposed to get wet anyway that there wouldn't be any major issues keeping it in the water for say an hour or so?
Carpeted wood bunks, surge brakes, vault bearings.
