6.17. Towing
When towing another boat, use a floating line that is strong enough for the task. Begin towing slow-
ly, avoid jerks, and do not overload the engine.
The owner of the boat should consider the measures necessary for securing the boat’s towrope.
If you are towing, or if your boat has to be towed, attach the towline to the bow or stern bollards as
per the following image.
WARNING!
When towing, the towline is under high tension. If it should break, the end that snaps off
may lash back fast enough to cause serious injury or death. Always use a thick enough
line and keep to one side of the towline.
NOTE!
When towing another boat or being towed, always drive at low speed. If the boat has a
displacement hull, never exceed hull speed while towing.
NOTE!
The towline should always be fastened so that it can be unfastened under load.
Attaching the towline to the bollards:
6.18. Trailer transport
Weight data for trailer transport may be found in the technical specifications. The trailer’s keel sup-
ports should carry most of the weight of the boat. Adjust the side supports so that the boat will not
rock sideways. For more information, please turn to your dealer.
Clean the supports of sand and dirt so that they will not scratch the bottom of the boat. Dou-
ble-check that the trailer is securely coupled to the trailer tow hitch!
The place for lifting the boat out of the water should be sheltered, and the ramp should extend
deep enough into the water. Reverse the trailer so deep into the water that the rearmost keel sup-
port is just above the water. Drive the boat carefully towards the rearmost keel support and fasten
the winch cable to the trailer hook.
Reel the boat up onto the trailer, taking care that the boat remains straight on the trailer’s centre
line. Remember to trim up the engine before reeling the boat onto the trailer so that it will not hit
the bottom.
