Alycraft Warranty Policy

Terms and Conditions

  • Warranty:  Alycraft Trailer chassis are warranted for 3 years and 12 months parts warranty from the date of purchase. 
  • Warranty does not cover ‘Off Road’ use.
  • Warranty is transferable to subsequent purchasers .
  • Warranty is applicable to parts and labor.
  • A condition of warranty is that the trailer be returned to the original place of purchase.
  • Modifications or unauthorised repairs carried out by third parties will not be covered by warranty.
  • Warranty will not cover wear and tear items such as Brake Linings, Wheel Bearings or Seals. 
 
  • Modification
  • Any modification,  design change, or addition to the original design  will void manufactures warranty unless approved in writing by Alycraft.
 
  • Maintenance for long term trailer performance; 
  •  Flush your bearings with marine bearing grease very regularly.
  •  lubricate winch cogs.
  •  If the Jockey Wheel becomes tight to wind, dismantle and re-grease.
  • Ensure you connect a safety chain from the winch post to the Bow Eye in case of winch failure.
  • Check nuts and bolts before every trip and ensure wheel nuts are correctly tensioned.
  • Ensure your boat is correctly secured from the bow eye in a backward direction  to the draw bar adjustable tie down bracket. This will prevent forward momentum of the boat from the trailer in the event of a frontal collision by the towing vehicle.
  • Do not over tighten ratchet straps as they can pull tons of torque and this can flex the trailer and effect the towing stability.
  •  Never use hard fixed chains and a turn buckle. Some flex is normal in an aluminium trailer.  Use rope or a material which absorbs shock. Using a tight chain will transfer any stress and vibration to the weakest point of the trailer.
  • Check for any damage to the chassis
  • Never exceed the ATM  or the Tare and Load weight.
  • Ensure your load is balanced and that approximately 10% of the total weight of boat and  trailer is on the tow ball of the towing vehicle.
  • Too much ‘Ball weight’ will cause steering difficulties on the towing vehicle.
  • Too little ‘Ball weight’ will cause ‘Fish Tailing’ which is an extremely dangerous condition which will certainly lead to loss of steering control of  your vehicle with probable deadly results.
