How a Tung-Bar© Trailer Stand can help

The inherent design of boat hulls deters complete water drainage even when the trailer jack is fully extended, water does not completely drain from the lowest point of the boat hull.

Studies have shown the largest contributing factor in the spread of aquatic invasive species are recreational boaters. Non-native plants and animals attach or become attached to boats, trailers, and equipment. Microscopic offspring such as Quagga/Zebra veligers can be harbored in residual water left inside the boat.

	Quagga and Zebra Mussels can and will attach to any surface. Native species like Crawdads or the Dragonfly Nymph below can become so infested they can no longer feed.

Quagga and Zebra Mussels can live in
colonies of up 100,000 per square
meter and filter 1 liter of water daily. Depleting the water of microscopic organisms necessary for native species.

Adult Mussels can live outside of water for days, even weeks in humid weather and lay 1 million eggs.

These prolific pests clog vital hydro-electric cooling pipes, infiltrate water drinking systems, and clog in-board/outboard motor cooling systems. In less than 2 years these foreign mussels have established themselves in the Colorado River Basin and have been found in California.

Imagine your favorite pond, lake, or riverfront property suddenly starts looking like this.

Take a Tung-Bar© Trailer Stand with you next time you go boating and completely drain your boat of all residual water prior to transport. The best way to to stop the spread of any Aquatic Invasive Species starts right after you pull away from the boat launch.

Start by removing all drain plugs and elevate your boat to ensure complete water drainage. Empty live wells or bait tanks and discard unused bait into the garbage. Inspect your boat and trailer carefully and remove any debris from your boat, prop, anchor, or trailer prior to transport. Allow your vessel to air-dry for a period of 5 days before heading to new waters.
