Operation

Before Going Out On The Highway:

•  Side curtains, clear connector, backdrop 

and aft curtain must be removed when 

trailering.  Canvas enclosures are not designed 

to withstand the extreme wind pressure 

encountered while trailering and will be 

damaged.  Always remove and properly store 

the enclosure before trailering your boat.

•  Make sure the tow BALL and TRAILER COUPLER 

are the same size and bolts and nuts are tightly 

secured.

•  The COUPLER MUST BE COMPLETELY OVER 

THE BALL and the LATCHING MECHANISM  

LOCKED  DOWN.

•  Make sure the TRAILER IS LOADED EVENLY 

from front to rear as well as side to side and 

has the correct weight on the hitch.  Too much 

weight on the hitch will cause the rear of the 

tow vehicle to drag and may make steering 

more difficult.  Too little weight on the hitch 

will  cause  the  rig  to  fishtail  and  will  make 

controlling the tow vehicle difficult.  Contact 

your trailer manufacturer or dealer for the 

correct weight on the hitch for your trailer.

•  The SAFETY CHAINS must be attached 

crisscrossing under the coupler to the frame 

of the tow vehicle.  If the ball was to break, 

the trailer would follow in a straight line and 

prevent the coupler from dragging on the road.  

Make sure the trailer emergency brake cable 

or chain is also installed to the tow vehicle 

frame.

•  Make sure the LIGHTS on the trailer function 

properly.

•  CHECK THE BRAKES.  On a level parking area 

roll forward and apply the brakes several times 

at increasing speeds to determine if the brakes 

on the tow vehicle and trailer are working 

properly.

•  Make sure the tow vehicle has SIDE VIEW 

MIRRORS that are large enough to provide an 

unobstructed rear view on both sides of the 

vehicle.

•  CHECK THE TIRES and WHEEL BEARINGS.

Notice: 

Make sure your towing vehicle and trailer are 

in compliance with all state and local laws.  

Contact your state motor vehicle bureau for 

laws governing the towing of trailers.
