Boat-trailer problems require more information than a standard car call. Tell us about the tow vehicle, boat and trailer, their condition, approximate combined size and weight, and whether the combination is safely off the road.
Quick answer
For boat-trailer roadside or towing needs around Lake of the Ozarks, call 573-316-5005. Equipment fit depends on the complete vehicle-and-trailer combination, damage, access and destination.
Provide the tow vehicle year and type, boat type and length, trailer axle count, approximate total weight, visible damage and whether the trailer is attached. Mention a flat tire, wheel or hub concern, failed lights, damaged coupling or a combination that cannot roll.
Road, ramp and parking-area access
Busy ramps, narrow shoulders, steep access roads and crowded marina parking areas can limit safe working room. Share the nearest firm approach, gate or clearance restriction and whether traffic control or property coordination is needed.
Roadside help versus specialized transport
Some calls involve the disabled tow vehicle; others involve the trailer or entire combination. We will confirm whether the verified light-duty equipment shown on this site fits the situation. Larger or damaged combinations may require specialized equipment.
Plan the destination before movement
Identify a marina, repair facility, residence, storage area or other location that can accept the boat and trailer. Lake weekends and holidays can affect traffic, access and availability, so call as soon as a problem is identified.

The fleet photographs on this site show Camden County Tow equipment. When you call, share the exact location, vehicle condition and any access concern so the right service can be discussed.
No blanket promise can be made. Boat length, total weight, axle condition, damage and available equipment must be confirmed before dispatch.
Can you help if the tow vehicle breaks down?
Possibly. Explain whether the trailer is attached, the combined size and weight, and whether both units are safely accessible so the service can be evaluated.
Do you repair trailer bearings or hubs roadside?
Do not assume a repair is available. Describe the suspected problem when calling so the safest towing, recovery or referral option can be discussed.
What should I do on a narrow shoulder?
Keep occupants away from traffic, use hazard lights and call 911 for an immediate roadway danger. Avoid working on the traffic side of the trailer.
