Image: Attaching the boat to the trailer.
Tie the boat properly before beginning transport. The sling ropes at the bow should be
directed down and back, and the sling ropes at stern should be directed down and front. Do
not leave any loose equipment or extra load on the boat when it is being transported.
Remove the seat cushions and close all hatches properly.
The engine should be in the driving position during transport. However, ensure that there
remains adequate clearance. Lift the engine to provide some clearance but not all the way
up. For detailed instructions, see the engine’s manual.
If the boat is kept on the trailer between transports, you must loosen the sling ropes for the
duration and tighten them before the next transport.
NOTE!
The trailer should be slightly front-weighted. Make sure that the
boat is fastened tight enough to the trailer and that the weight of
the boat is divided equally between side supports. If the boat
swings against a side support during transport, it may sustain hull
damage.
When letting the boat down from the trailer, remember to fasten the bow rope to the boat
beforehand so that you can release the cable from the trailer hook as soon as the boat is in
the water. Be careful with the winch handle!

Docking
The storage cradle should be sufficiently steady and suitable for this particular boat and
engine combination. A sturdy plank (e.g. a 2x4) should be placed between the V trestles to
support the keel and to bear most of the weight of the boat. The boat must not rest on the
side supports. The side supports should not be placed touching the bottom chine, and point
loads should be avoided. The supporting structures should be strong, particularly near the
transom, to support the added weight of the engine. Storage cradle dimensions are shown in
the picture below.
