Loading
When loading, always prepare for the procedure prior to reaching the
ramp. If the ramp is busy, preparation will shorten the time it takes for
you to get your boat out of the water.
You probably won’t have to back the trailer into the water as far to load
the boat as you did to launch it. In fact, the easiest way is to back your
trailer up until the rear of the bunks are in the water. By not putting your
trailer too deep in the water, your boat will actually center itself on the
bunks about 1/3 to 1/2 the distance onto the trailer.
Connect the winch cable/strap to the bow eye of the boat. Lock your
winch before attempting to wind the cable/strap in. Once your boat is
aligned and is pulled firmly against the winch stand roller or Vee block
and
your winch is in the locked position, connect the boat bow safety chain
and you are ready to drive to the loading/preparation area near the
ramp to connect all other tie‐downs, lighting or electric brake
connections, etc.
Common
Cause
of
Boat
Misalignment
If your boat doesn’t sit level in the water or your bunks or rollers are not
adjusted properly, you may have misalignment problems with your boat
when loading. Basic correction procedures are as follows:
Correction
Procedures
Re‐measure all roller assemblies that set in a line across from each other.
Make sure the distance to each roller from the centerline of the trailer is
equal. In other words, the left side of your trailer should be exactly the
same as the right side. This is true of bunk or roller trailers.
If your boat keeps going to the port (left) side, remove the boat and
loosen the U‐bolts and/or the through bolts that clamp the roller
assemblies on the stern (back) section of the trailer. Force each
assembly to the right as if you were trying to turn the handlebars of a
bicycle. Hold each assembly in this turned position and retighten the U‐
bolts and/or through bolts.
This repositioning of the roller assemblies should correct the
misalignment of the boat on your trailer. If your boat goes toward the
starboard (right) side, reverse the procedure.
Another common reason for boats not centering themselves is putting
the trailer too deep in the water, which does not allow the trailer
adequate time to center the boat. This is especially true on roller style
trailers.
Note:
Make
sure
your
trailer
is
not
too
deep
in
the
water
or
the
boat
will
float
over
the
rollers
and
be
difficult
to
load
and
center.
Boarding
Your
Boat
Larger pleasure boats remain stable under most operating conditions
be‐ cause of their beam, draft, and weight displacement. However, the
U.S. Coast Guard does require that a capacity plate be affixed to all boats
up to 20 feet long. This plate states the maximum load capacity. The
plate shows persons and gear in pounds the boat will handle safely
under normal conditions. The U.S. Coast Guard establishes these load
capacity ratings. Overloading and improper distribution of weight are
significant causes of accidents. Keep weight below maximum limits for
safety in turbulent water.
Important:
The
presence
of
the
capacity
plate
does
not
relieve
the
boat
operator
from
the
responsibility
of
using
common
sense
or
sound
judgment.
Turbulent
waters
and
adverse
weather
conditions
reduce
the
maximum
load
capacity
rating
of
the
boat.
