SCFD rtrd. Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Anyone using the aftermarket tire pressure monitoring system for their trailers? I was thinking it would be nice to detect a tire loosing pressure while trailering down the road. If you know in advance that a tire is loosing pressure, then you could; find a good place to pull over instead of changing the tire on the side of the roadway. Could also save damage to your fenders, boat, tag and lights. I only found one that is advertised as submersible. It's from Bass Pro ($250). Apparently some devices have small batteries in the valve stem part. Don't see how that would work with salt water. Still researching. http://www.basspro.com/Truck-Systems-Technologies-Marine-Tire-Pressure-Monitoring-System/product/1305150656332/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanaflatsfish Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Interesting idea...but, i'm old skool.. change my tires every two years...use stainless valve stems....check'm every trip. but, I'm a techie geek...could be a cool toy...but, something that could go wrong? in/out saltwater can't be a good thing? dc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Food Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 SCFD, I don't know if this is the same system, but it was the one that I was looking at in the past. I had the same concerns. I agree, it would be good to have. I have gotten used to my car having a system that tells you the pressure and alerts you when it is time to add air. It would be nice on the trailer to alert before a problem happens. Good luck and keep us updated if you pull the trigger on a system like this. https://www.amazon.com/EEZTire-Tire-Pressure-Monitoring-System/dp/B009BFMUHQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justfish Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 I admit I am used to my truck and jeep having it, but the last thing I'd want on my trailer is something else electronic to go wrong espcially something that has to dunk in the water. I had more problems with "submersible" tailed lights than most others.... I feel my bearings and give the tires the old kick test before every long trip and every stop along the way.

Capt. Troy Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Great idea but Me thinks more trouble. Probably would work if we hooked them up to our trailer lights. If They make them wireless with the tire sensors to go along I want some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFD rtrd. Posted September 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Yes, the system is wireless. They sell millions of these things, just have to find one that will last in saltwater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
