Trailer Service Tips

TRAILER

 

 

1. It is the Owner's Responsibility to check your lug nuts, maintain proper tire pressure, maintain proper amount of grease in hubs (bearings should be serviced and repacked annually) and check tire condition before using your trailer.

 

2. Make sure that your trailer hitch is sufficient to pull the boat you are purchasing. Your trailer ball must be the same size as what is on the trailer coupler. Never tow your boat without a safety chain or tie down straps. Do not tow your boat until you personally check the capacity of your hitch, size of the trailer ball, your trailer lights and that your trailer is properly attached to your tow vehicle. You should perform this inspection yourself.

 

3. Disconnect your trailer lights from the vehicle before you back your trailer into the water.

 

4. Put in drain plug(s) before you put the boat in the water.

 

5. Do not disconnect your winch strap from the boat until your trailer is in the water.

 

6. When taking your boat and trailer out of the water, turn the engine off, put the drive in the full up position, attach the winch strap and secure, before pulling the boat and trailer up the ramp.

 

7. Remove the hull drain plug(s) as soon as you take the boat out of the water.

 

8. Replace your tie down straps.

 

9. Reconnect trailer lights and check.
