Towing is more challenging than driving down the road in a single vehicle. Therefore, you
would be well-advised to
practice, practice, practice
before undertaking a genu-
ine tow to a body of water for an outing.
Malibu (Axis) Trailers cannot anticipate every possibility that will arise, and
assumes no responsibility for the operation of your tow vehicle and/or trailer,
but the following are some recommendations that can enhance the towing
experience and better prepare drivers:
Drive sensibly.
You will have a substantially greater length and weight to
maneuver. This means you need more time and space to accelerate or to stop.
Weather conditions are amplified. Wind especially can create more challenges in
maintaining control.
Use those mirrors.
Most tow vehicle manufacturers recommend adding over-
sized mirrors. Some legal jurisdictions require it. Regardless, the better you are
able to see, the more control over the total rig you’ll have. Larger mirrors can
also assist you in keeping an eye on the trailer and boat to be aware of how well
they are moving down the road.
Allow extra room when making turns.
You will quickly learn that turns, especially right
turns, take more space. You’ve seen this with tractor-trailer units and other tow vehicles.
Think twice and allow extra room when passing other vehicles.
It will take longer to
accelerate to passing speed, and you will need considerably more room when moving back into
the driving lane. Passing on grades is not recommended as it is more difficult to maintain overall
control. It may be necessary to downshift gears in the tow vehicle when passing, too. Avoid road
shoulders, especially narrow ones. If you go off the paved surface, especially at highway speed,
you may lose control or even jack-knife the rig.
Use common sense! All the potential issues that cause potential problems when driving a
regular highway vehicle are exaggerated when towing.
Avoid tailgating, jack-rabbit starts and
stops, any maneuver that exceeds the capabilities of your rig. Any time your rig fish-tails, stop
and determine what the cause is. Often is it shifting weight, particularly within the boat or on the
trailer. Re-adjusting the towed items may take a few minutes but can save your life and others!
launching and
re-loading
the boat from the
trailer
Releasing the boat from the trailer requires skill as well. Conditions may vary from location to
location, too. It is important to pay attention to surroundings and plan the release to avoid damage to
the boat, trailer and dock/ramp.
First, you should examine the ramp. Some are unimproved, while others are paved, and many
are something in-between. You will also need to know how steep the ramp is as that affects how
far you will need to back the trailer into the water. You need to have confidence that the ramp
surface will support the weight of the trailer and boat as you ease back, and that you will not bog
