Towing Your Boat
Read this checklist prior to trailering your boat.
• Check wheel lug nuts for tightness.
• Be sure the trailer tongue is securely on the hitch and the
safety chains from the trailer are secured to the vehicle.
• Be sure a cable or strap secures the bow eye of the boat to
the trailer. Make sure this is tightly secured.
• Be sure the trailer electrical connector is plugged in. Allow
sufficient slack for cornering. Check brake lights, turn
signals, emergency flasher and running lights.
• Be sure your gear inside the boat and seat cushions cannot
shift or fly out of the boat during trailering.
• Be sure the walk-thru door of the windshield is closed and
latched while the boat is being trailered.
• If you are using any sort of water "ballast" system to add
weight to the boat, be sure it is drained before you put the
boat on the trailer. These systems can adversely affect the
tongue weight of the trailer. Your boat is not designed to
carry exceptionally heavy loads. This can adversely effect the
proper balance of the boat/trailer combination and cause
tire failure and/or loss of control.
• If your boat is equipped with a trailer bow winch, make sure
the boat is properly located on the trailer and the winch
strap/cable is tight.
• Make sure the platform bracket pins are in place before
trailering.
• Remove bilge drain plug(s).
