LOADING
Loading, like launching, is best done with two people:
1. Back the trailer into the water until the top of the fenders are about 3”
above the water. Keep the trailer/car combination as straight as possible
and, if possible, at 90 degrees to the shoreline. Set the parking brake
securely.
2. Approach the trailer in a straight line from at least 5’ out. Use “bursts” of
propeller thrust to move towards the trailer at the slowest steerable
speed. Guide the boat onto the support bunks.
3. Check to see that the boat is centered on the support rails and is headed
in a straight line for the bow stop (bumper board).
Excessive throttle can cause the boat to travel over the bumper
board causing extensive damage to the boat, trailer, and car and
could cause severe personal injury.
4. Using a very light touch on the throttle, ease the boat forward until the
bow comes to rest against the bow stop (bumper board).
The winch bow strap is merely a means of securing the boat to
the trailer and is not intended to winch or pull the boat onto the
trailer.
5. Attach and tighten the winch bow strap.
6. Pull the trailer up the ramp and attach any additional tie-downs and
connect the trailer light harness.
7. Pull drain plug.
8. Perform end of day shut down procedures.
