trailer laws. Coming off the ferry on Salt Spring Island, they had a check
point to check for valid registration and if trailers have safety chains
and brakes as required.

You miss the point, though. Our laws (that were posted by state) are
different from theirs.


Theirs are tougher. Don May need brakes under Canadian laws.


I take it you didn't read his post about the laws in his province, eh?


I read his post. Does he actually read what he posts or refers to? 1/2
the people or more in the states do not know most of the trailer laws.

An 18' boat and trailer probably exceed 1500# which is the cut off for
brakes in Calif. Except here they do not include the boat. Stupid
reasoning.

Again, we are talking about laws in Don's province, so this is
irrelevant.

All places seem to have similar laws.

Is his province. What does his boat, trailer and load in boat weigh? 3960#
in Nova Scotia - brakes required. Go over to Prince Edward Island, and it
is only 3300#.

I hate to be drawn into this foolishness because it only adds fodder to the likes of Hankie, etc.
My rig weighs 1920 lbs.
I am legal to trailer without brakes.

Is that boat and trailer, or just boat or trailer?

I dropped into a provincial government official highway weigh station on the way home from picking up that boat from the Legend dealer June 2012.
Weight was for boat, trailer, 60 hp outboard and about half a tank of gas.
I went on the scale with rig and RAV4... Then unhooked rig and weighed RAV4 separately.
Difference is the towed weight.

He's already stated the weight of his rig and he doesn't need trailer
brakes.

True. But I hear others say they just ignore the brakes not working on the
trailer. As salt water is bad and they will go bad again. Towing with a
Rav is marginal at best. 5000# towing? Hate to stop the muther in a panic
stop with 3000# behind. 1900# seems light for an 18' boat, trailer, unless
a really lightweight trailer, and a 60 hp motor. My tandem axle EZLoader
trailer weighed 1100# by itself.
