BoatMate Trailers, Inc.
Trailer Options

We understand the desire to own something special, especially with the investment required for today’s boats and trailers. BoatMate offers a wide selection of options to help you customize your trailer. All of our available options are not listed here, so if you see or think of an option not listed give us a call. If it’s something we don’t have or has not been designed, we will try our best to locate or custom design the desired option.

Trailers we build for OEM boat manufacturers may include some of these items as standard features for some models. Please contact your local dealer or give us a call to determine the standard features of one of these trailers.

SWING AWAY TONGUE – If storage space is an issue, this option may be right for you. The length of a trailer may be reduced up to two feet when the pin is removed and the tongue is pushed to the side.

STAINLESS STEEL FENDERS – Brighten the look of your trailer with these polished and durable fenders. We offer stainless steel fenders for our single axle and tandem axle trailers.

TIRES – Goodyear Marathon radial trailer tires are standard on all BoatMate trailers available in black-wall or raised white letter outline. We can also provide a low profile tire upon request.

WHEELS – A wide variety of wheels are available including Chrome Mods, Aluminum Mods, Aluminum Stars, white spokes and galvanized. We will even source custom wheels or use customer supplied wheels provided they are available with the correct lug pattern, bearing clearance and load capacity.

LIGHTING – We offer duel brake lights and back-up lights. Also available is an LED lighting package that draws less current and withstands shock and vibration better than incandescent lighting. LED lights are rated for 100,000 hours of use.

Aluminum Treadplate and Chrome Tie Downs

ALUMINUM TREADPLATE AND CHROME PLATED BRASS TIE DOWNS– BoatMate can also help you brighten the look of your custom trailer by installing aluminum treadplate on your steps and/or bow cap. Chrome Plated Tie Down Eye Straps can be installed to prevent your boat cover strap from chaffing the trailer paint.

SPARE TIRE MOUNT AND SPARE ASSEMBLY – BoatMate can weld a spare tire mount to your trailer or provide a bolt-on spare tire bracket. The spare mount is located in an easy-to-access, yet out of the way area. A spare tire can be installed at the factory at your request. A common misconception is that a spare is not necessary with a tandem axle trailer. In all but absolute emergency situations, a flat tire must be changed before continuing to tow both single and tandem axle trailers.

BOAT BUDDY – Want to impress your fellow boaters with your ability to load and get off the boat ramp? Arm your Boat Buddy and when the bow eye reaches the Boat Buddy, the Boat Buddy will latch through the bow eye allowing the boat and trailer to be immediately towed away from the ramp. When you stop in the ramp parking lot to wipe your boat down and pull the drain plug, you can then connect the winch strap and stern eye tie downs.

IMCO Ratchet Straps – A clean easy way to secure your boat to the trailer. The base is welded to the trailer frame. When ready to secure the boat, flip a lever and pull the strap out of the base and connect to a stern eye. Use the ratchet mechanism to tighten the strap.

COVERED WINCH – Our covered XLT series winch from Fulton provides a clean look on the front of your trailer without any loss of winch function.

GALVANIZED FRAME – We can have your trailer frame galvanized providing an electrostatic bonded, durable finish that prevents rusting on both the inside and outside of the tubes that make-up the trailer frame. Very strongly recommended for anyone who will use their trailer around the coastal areas or anywhere there may be brackish water.
