5. Transportation
During lifting:
• Ensure that all hull penetrations are closed or secure.
• Check the boat for bilge water before lifting.
Excessive quantities of bilge water can shift, changing the balance of the load.
• Check for thru-hull appendages such as knot meters and stabilizers, rub, spray, and splash rails,
so that they are not damaged by the lifting equipment.
• Check the hull structure to locate shafts, rudders, struts, and the forward and aft ends of any
keels.
• Check the hull’s structural configuration, including the location of bulkheads, stringers, engines,
and tanks.
• Check bilges for water ingress following launch.
• Transport the boat as close to the ground as practicable.
5.2. Transporting the boat
Before lifting the boat onto the trailer, make sure that the trailer is suitable for the boat.
Make sure that there are a sufficient number of supports to distribute the weight properly without
excessive point loads, and the capacity and dimensions of the trailer are sufficient to carry the boat and
its engine, equipment, battery, boating accessories and fuel on board.
WARNING
A boat trailer that does not have sufficient capacity or that is poorly maintained
can become damaged and cause a danger on the road.
• Make sure that the trailer capacity is sufficient to also carry the weight of
the engine, fuel and equipment.
CAUTION
The hull of the boat can be damaged if there is an insufficient amount of supports
on the trailer.
The trailer must be a little nose heavy. Make sure that the boat is securely
fastened to the trailer, that it cannot move into any direction, and that the side
supports provide an even support for the weight of the boat.
Before loading the boat on the trailer:
• Remove any unnecessary weight from the boat.
• Drain the bilge water.
• Adjust the side supports of the trailer so that the most weight rests on the keel supports, and the
side supports only offer lateral support.
• Protect the boat by placing suitable padding between the tie down straps and the boat, if
necessary.
• See the engine manual for any instructions on trailering.
