TRAILERING INFORMATION
Refer to the trailer owner's manual
for proper capacity, operation, mainte-
nance, accessories and warranty.
Check the regulations in your area con-
cerning towing a trailer, especially the
following rules:
– Brake system
– Tow vehicle weight
– Mirrors.
NOTE: An optional brake system is
available for your trailer (if not standard
equipment), contact Karavan Trailers
at:
www.karavantrailers.com .
Take the following precautions when
trailering the boat:
Tie the boat to both bow and stern
(front/rear) eyelets so that it is firmly
retained on the trailer.
Remove stern light (if installed).
Remove and store any loose objects
from deck and seats.
WARNING
Failure to store loose objects may
result in loss of objects and possi-
ble road hazards.
Ensure to close and latch:
– Storage compartments
– Seats
– Walk thru door
– Windshield door.
WARNING
Failure to close and latch equip-
ments may lead to damage and
possible road hazards.
Empty the ballast reservoirs (if so
equipped).
WARNING
Never tow a boat with water re-
maining in the ballast reservoirs.
The weight of ballasts increases
the load on the trailer, the axle, and
the tires, which could lead to pre-
mature wear or failure. This also
contributes to reduce the stabil-
ity of your vehicle on the road by
raising the center of gravity of the
trailer.
Always completely empty the bal-
last reservoirs before trailering.
Take the following precautions when
trailering the boat:
1. Tie the boat to both bow and stern
(front/rear) eyelets so that it is firmly
retained on the trailer.
2. Remove stern light (if installed).
3. Ensure all storage compartment
covers are properly latched.
4. Ensure walk-thru door and wind-
shield are securely locked in the
opened or closed position.
5. Empty the ballast bag (if so
equipped).
6. Close bimini top (if so equipped).
7. A Sea-Doo cover can protect the
boat, particularly before driving on
dirt roads, to prevent dirt entering
through the air intake openings.
NOTICE
Cockpit cover and bow
cover should be used for storage
only. To avoid damages to cover
and their snaps, never travelling
with these covers installed.
8. Observe trailering safety precau-
tions.
NOTICE
Always close and se-
curely fasten rear storage compart-
ment lid before trailering.
