Winterizing a trailer ?
I know this question might be stupid but this is my 1st winter that I own a trailer and I am curious if there is anything to do to the trailer before winter gets here........Thankfully my boat sits in a rack at my marina in a secure building winterized and out of the elements, but as of right now I may not be able to store my trailer in my own shop as I had originally planned. It may have to sit outside the whole winter.........the trailer is a 2011 Ace, all Aluminum I-Beam Trailer.....

I just max inflate the tires and cover them. Thats about it. If the boat is on the trailer I actually jack the trailer up and put stands under the axles to keep the weight off the tires.

Don't park the tires on grass (any time of the year). Elevate them by placing 2x10 or 2x12s under them. I also cover the carpet with a tarp or similar to protect from UV rays degrading the carpet. It's a good idea to cover the tires with tire covers or similar to also protect them from UV rays.
