My sister keeps her boat trailer parked in the yard (weeds) with no boat on it; boat is on a lift. It hasn't moved in 6 months and probably won't for the winter.
Should she put it on blocks to protect the tires (a) from a flat spot and (b) from the ground dampness? Or being empty, does it matter? It's a single axle for a 19' boat.
I know she really ought to drive it around every couple of months or so for the bearings and tires, but not likely.
I store mine empty (dual axle for a 21') on a grass lot, but take the trailer out every 2-3 months; if I haven't hauled the boat, just to drive it up the road and back. reckon that's OK? I can't bear the thought of buying tires for a trailer I almost never use, and if I do, it's less than 10 miles in the city.
thanks
