Upgrading my boat trailer lights to LED's and some basic trailer maintenance 🚤 

G’day Legends I have been a little quiet for a while due to another ankle surgery so sorry about that. So while I’m out of action I thought I would give the trailer a once over. It’s very basic stuff but it might be useful to someone . Let me know if there is anything else you think I should be doing to it. Cheers. PS I’m heading to Fraser next week for some beach fishing so if anyone sees me come say g’day.

Little tip for you inregard to cleaning bearings, use diesel instead of petrol. Diesel dries leaving an oily film which helps rollers should grease be missed on a roller and its far less flammable to work with. 😎

get well soon! I'm new here in your channel..hope to see you in your next adventure!

Nice one mate, hope the ankle heels up soon

I’m about to do the same project with my son. Wish me luck !!

Hoping you get better mate. Amazing to see how clean the grease was after two years, but like you said it hasn't been used much for towing. Looking forward to the next adventure!

Good stuff! LED lites are awesome aren’t they? The bearings are probably the most important thing to check - I can put 2000 km on my unit in a season - last thing you want is issues at the side of the roadway. I actually took a wire wheel to all rust and painted over it to make it look better ha ha ha Thanks from 🇨🇦 - cheers

Great to see you back. Take care of yourself! Nice quick instruction, I got lots out of it to look after my trailer 😀

Looking forward to the next ep mate, cheers

Good to see your back 🤙🎣

Nice an simple explanation mate👍 I built my trailer 20+ yrs ago an since new have used the deodorised aerosol fish oil on all the bolts and u bolts etc and I have towed that boat up the cape several times (as lived in Cairns for 30 yrs) and as far south as Melbourne an back to cairns and all the hardware is original so the fish oil definitely works👍👍 Stay safe budd 🤙

Nice rims, wish I could justify the expense to upgrade my gal wheels to alloys, but not for something that's just aesthetic, and the missus would kill me. :) FYI don't use WD40 on your wheel studs... it's great for breaking loose rusty nuts but it's not actually a lubricant... in fact it removes oils and greases. Better off with a smear of grease on the threads.

Welcome back mate, look forward to your next vid.

Great job mate. Fully watched, ads and all. 😃👍The only thing I do when I do my wheel bearings is wear a pair of blue disposable surgical gloves to prevent my hands getting greasy. Also when I put the main bearing nut back on I tighten it all the way up, and then back it half a turn and then line it up with the split pin hole ensuring that there’s still a very tiny bit of play (sideway movement) in the wheel. I double check this by holding the wheel when it’s tightened back on ( while still jacked up) holding it in the 3 and 6 o’clock position and give it a tiny wobble check making sure there’s a tiny bit of movement. Great vid as always. Loved how you did the lights. I need to replace my trailer lights too. Sick of using a light board again. Hope that ankle heals well mate. Cachya soon. 😃👍

I noticed something you missed! a beer!

Hey mate just finished watching your shed house build videos. Bloody inspirational. Makes me want to get off me butt and get finished on my 6x6 putting a Mezanine floor in and storage. On this vid I noticed you have bugger all rust throughout your trailer. You get out a lot more then myself for sure so I was wondering what tips you have for keeping the rust at bay on the springs etc I give mine a decent wash down but it’s so bad after maybe 5 years I am ashamed.

Where can i get the same trailer lights from? Great video mate

Hey mate I just bought the same trailer lights. Quick question once the wirings fed up through the frame how do you connect it to the plug ? Do you just twist 2 colour matched wires together then put it into the plug and screw it down? Thanks

What spray did you use at 7:08 after drilling the holes for the lights?

Mate how did you feed the wiring to the front of the trailer?

You’d think fully sealed lights would mean no water gets in but those dogs fill up with water too 🤬

Jockey wheel???

Don't fix what's not broken
