I bought a boat/trailer last year. The tires were at 30psi. Yesterday I
read the sidewall, and it says that capacity is 575 pounds with the tires
inflated to 60psi!

The boat is about 500 pounds. Any idea what my pressure should be? I only
take it 15 miles twice a year. Thanks.

Quite likely, its 60 psi. I mean that's what it says on the side wall.
With two tires, you have a safety factor of 100%. Blow them up to
60 and call it good.
