Trailer (Option)
Your boat can be fitted with an aluminum trailer which
has been determined to be best suited for your boat’s
length and width.
If you have a trailer or plan on purchasing a trailer
separately consult your dealer for information regarding
your choice of trailers.
Trailer Safety:
There are features that will keep your trailer secured to the
tow vehicle: The safety chain attaches to the bow eye and
will keep the boat from sliding off the trailer in the event
that the winch strap or cable breaks, hook this up first.
Refer to the engine owner’s manual for proper engine
support while trailering.
Tie-down straps should never be used by
themselves, they are only used to help in
keeping the boat secured to the trailer. Make
certain that the safety chain is properly secured
to the bow eye.
!
DANGER
Tie-down straps can be used to secure the boat from the
stern. The tie-down straps hook into the tie-down loops
on the trailer frame to the lifting eyes on the transom.
Padding (or similar) chafe protection should be used
where the tie-down straps come in contact with the hull.
A properly matched trailer hitch ball and coupler is
important.
NEVER USE A HITCH BALL AND COUPLER
THAT ARE NOT MATCHED.
Make certain that the coupler and the hitch ball are
properly seated and locked. Safety chains are also
important; the chains are connected to the trailer and
should be of sufficient length to reach the frame of the
tow vehicle and should be long enough to allow the tow
vehicle to turn without binding or tensioning.
DO NOT SECURE THE CHAINS TO THE BUMPER
OF THE TOW VEHICLE.
