Boat Trailer Repair & Parts

Your boat trailer takes a beating, saltwater exposure, heavy loads, rough roads, and years of use add up fast. A worn bearing, failing brake, or corroded wiring isn't just an inconvenience, it's a safety hazard on the road and a potential disaster at the boat ramp. At Mealey Marine Services, we've been repairing boat trailers for over a decade, and we have the parts and experience to get yours road-ready quickly. 

Boat Trailer Repair Services

We handle all types of trailer repairs, from quick fixes to full overhauls. If something isn't right with your trailer, bring it in and we'll find the problem and give you a straight answer on what it takes to fix it.

Wheel Bearing Repair & Replacement

Wheel bearings are one of the most common, and most dangerous, trailer failures on the road. Heat, water intrusion, and lack of lubrication cause bearings to wear and eventually seize. We inspect, repack, and replace wheel bearings and bearing buddies, and we'll let you know if your hubs need attention before they leave you stranded on the side of the highway.

Trailer Brake Repair & Replacement

Surge brakes and electric brakes both require regular inspection and maintenance. We repair and replace brake assemblies, actuators, brake drums, and brake pads to make sure your trailer stops the way it should, especially when you're hauling a heavy boat down a steep ramp or highway on-ramp.

Trailer Lights & Wiring

Submerging your trailer lights at the boat ramp every weekend is hard on wiring and fixtures. We repair and replace trailer lighting systems including tail lights, brake lights, turn signals, and submersible LED upgrades. We also diagnose and repair corroded wiring, bad grounds, and trailer plug issues so your lights work reliably every time you hook up.

Axle Repair & Replacement

A bent or worn axle affects how your trailer tracks down the road and how evenly your tires wear. We inspect axles for damage and replace them when needed, including single and tandem axle configurations.

Coupler & Hitch Hardware

A faulty coupler is a serious safety risk. We inspect and replace couplers, safety chains, hitch balls, and locking mechanisms to make sure your trailer stays connected to your vehicle on the road.

Bunk & Roller Service

Worn bunks and rollers can damage your hull and make launching and loading a struggle. We replace bunk carpeting, bunk boards, and rollers to protect your boat and make ramp time easier.

Winch Repair & Replacement

A broken winch strap or seized winch can ruin a day at the ramp. We repair and replace manual and electric winches and winch straps to keep loading and unloading smooth.

Don't Ignore Trailer Problems

A trailer issue that seems minor in the driveway can become a serious problem at highway speed or at the ramp. Failing bearings can seize and cause a wheel to come off. Bad brakes reduce your stopping distance with a loaded boat. Corroded wiring leads to no lights on a dark highway. If something doesn't feel or look right about your trailer, bring it in before it becomes an emergency.

Routine Trailer Maintenance

Even if nothing seems wrong, regular trailer maintenance goes a long way toward preventing unexpected failures. We recommend:

• Annually — Full inspection of bearings, brakes, lights, wiring, and frame
• Every 1–2 years — Bearing repack or replacement depending on use
• Each season — Check bunk carpet, rollers, winch strap, and coupler for wear
• After saltwater use — Flush lights and wiring connections, inspect for corrosion

We can put together a maintenance schedule based on how often you use your trailer and where you boat.
