TRAILERING INFORMATION
NOTICE
The span of the trailer
wood bunks including bunk width
should be adjusted to provide sup-
port throughout the full length of the
hull. The ends of both trailer wood
bunks should not exceed the length
of the watercraft.
Ensure the trailer wheels are posi-
tioned so that the center of gravity of
the watercraft is slightly ahead of the
wheels to properly support the weight
of the watercraft.
WARNING
Never tip this watercraft on end for
transporting. We recommend that
you carry the watercraft in its nor-
mal operating position.
Check the applicable laws and regula-
tions in your area concerning towing
a trailer, especially for the following
items:
– Brake system
– Tow vehicle weight
– Mirrors.
Take the following precautions when
towing the watercraft:
– Respect tow vehicle maximum
weight capacity and the tongue
weight capacity as recommended
by manufacturer.
– Tie the watercraft to both front and
rear (bow/stern) eyelets so that it is
firmly secured on the trailer. Use ad-
ditional tie-downs if necessary.
– Ensure fuel tank cap, front stor-
age compartment cover, glove box
cover and seat are properly latched.
– Observe trailering safety precau-
tions.
NOTICE
Do not route ropes or
tie-downs over the seat or grab
handle as they could be perma-
nently damaged. Wrap ropes or
tie-downs with rags or similar pro-
tectors where they can come into
contact with the watercraft body.
WARNING
Make sure seat is securely latched
prior to trailering.
A Sea-Doo cover can protect the wa-
tercraft, particularly when driving on
dirt roads, to prevent dirt entry through
the air inlet openings.
WARNING
When trailering the watercraft,
NEVER leave any equipment on
the watercraft.

stalled on the rack. Otherwise,
wake board fin(s) could cause in-
jury to bystanders or wakeboard

Bungee cords are under tension
and could spring back and whip
someone when released. Use cau-
tion.
