You should bring your boat trailer to a mechanic for service and repair if you notice any signs of wear or damage that could affect its safety or performance. Here are some signs to look out for:

1. Irregular tire wear: If you notice that your trailer tires are wearing unevenly, it could indicate a problem with the suspension or alignment. This can cause the trailer to sway or become unstable while towing.

2. Strange noises: If you hear any unusual noises while towing your boat, it could indicate a problem with the brakes, wheel bearings, or suspension system.

3. Rust or corrosion: If you notice any rust or corrosion on the trailer frame, it could indicate that the metal is weakening and could eventually lead to structural damage.

4. Electrical issues: If the trailer lights are not working correctly or you are experiencing any electrical problems, it could be a sign of a wiring issue that needs to be repaired.

5. Brake problems: If you notice that the brakes on the trailer are not functioning correctly or are making unusual noises, it could be a sign of a problem with the brake system that needs to be inspected and repaired.

If you notice any of these issues, it’s important to have your boat trailer inspected by a mechanic as soon as possible to avoid any potential accidents or further damage to your trailer. Additionally, it’s a good idea to have your trailer serviced regularly, even if you haven’t noticed any specific issues, to ensure it stays in good condition and safe to use.
