To unload the boat use the following procedure as a guide:
1. Make sure that all drain plugs are securely in place.
2. Unplug light cord before backing into the water.
3. With Bow Eye Hook fastened, back the trailer until the water
level is approximately one inch below the top of the trailer
fenders.

NOTE: DO NOT attempt to use excessive power to free the
boat from dry carpet runners. Power off of the trailer only
when the boat has floated free.
If the trailer is not submerged to the correct depth, the
bow of the boat could drop when powering off incorrectly,
possibly damaging the boat.
NOTE: Before operating your Moomba, refer to the Daily
Check List and the Boatman’s Check List.
To re-trailer the boat, position the trailer in the water with
approximately 1 inch of the top of the fender showing as in
step 3. UNLOADING.
Idle/coast the boat onto the trailer using as little power as
possible keeping it centered between the guide poles.
NOTE: DO NOT Power onto the trailer during rough
conditions.
When correctly positioned on the trailer turn off ignition. Use the
Hook and Trailer Winch to pull the boat up to the Roller Stop.
The trailer must be positioned for the correct water depth
for loading or you may damage the boat. Varying ramp
angles require different procedures. In general, the steeper
the ramp, the more shallow the trailer should be positioned
in the water. Your local dealer can help you understand this,
should you require additional assistance.
NOTE: Ramp slopes vary, so actual level of water on trailer
may be different.
Make sure that the engine water intake is fully
submerged.
4. Follow the cold start procedure recommended in this
manual.
5. After starting engine, unlatch Bow Eye Hook to ensure the
boat will release from the trailer.
6. With engine idling, center the steering wheel, engage the
transmission into reverse (pull back on lever,) then ease back
on the throttle.
NOTE: Because your Moomba is a direct drive inboard,
when backing the stern will have a tendency to drift left
or right depending on propeller rotation. This condition
will self-correct as the rudder reaches control speed.
