2670 CUDDY CONSOLE
The following safety tips and a book titled “Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts - Owner's Manual,”
included in your literature packet, provide additional information you should know before
trailering your boat.
Note: Contact your dealer to evaluate your towing vehicle and hitch, and to make sure you
have the correct trailer for your boat.
• Make sure the trailer is a match for your boat’s weight and hull design. More damage can
be done to a boat by the stresses of road travel than by normal water operation. A boat hull
is designed to be supported evenly by water. So, when it is transported on a trailer it should
be supported structurally as evenly across the hull as possible allowing for even distribution
of the weight of the hull, engine and equipment.
• Make sure the trailer bunks and rollers properly support the hull and do not put pressure on
the lifting strakes. The rollers and bunks must be kept in good condition to prevent scratching
and gouging of the hull.
• The capacity rating of the trailer should be greater than the combined weight of the boat,
motor, and equipment. The gross vehicle weight rating must be shown on the trailer. Make
sure the weight of the boat, engine, gear and trailer is not more than the gross vehicle weight
rating.
• Make sure the boat is securely fastened on the trailer to prevent movement between the boat
and trailer. The bow eye on the boat should be secured with a rope, chain or turnbuckle in
addition to the winch cable. Additional straps may be required across the beam of the boat.
Note: Your dealer can provide instructions on how to load, fasten and launch your boat.
BOATS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY TRAILERS THAT DO NOT PROPERLY SUP-
PORT THE HULL. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE TRAILER BUNKS AND ROLLERS
ARE ADJUSTED SO THEY ARE NOT PUTTING EXCESSIVE PRESSURE ON THE
LIFTING STRAKES AND ARE PROVIDING ENOUGH SUPPORT FOR THE HULL.
HULL DAMAGE RESULTING FROM IMPROPER TRAILER SUPPORT IS NOT COV-
ERED BY THE PURSUIT WARRANTY.
Before Going Out On The Highway:
• CANVAS ENCLOSURES must be removed when trailering. Canvas enclosures are not
designed to withstand the extreme wind pressure encountered while trailering and will be
damaged. Always remove and properly store the enclosure before trailering your boat.
• Make sure the tow BALL and TRAILER COUPLER are the same size and bolts and nuts are
tightly secured.
