Section 2 Boat Operation
Towing
Towing your boat on a trailer requires experience and
skill. Always operate a towing vehicle within the limits
of your experience. If you do not have this experience,
ask someone to instruct you or gain experience
through experimentation under controlled conditions.
When maneuvering on streets or highways, remember
that the boat and trailer have at least doubled the
length and weight of your tow vehicle. Follow these
guidelines when towing:
• Always use common sense when trailering a
boat.
• Operate the tow vehicle well within the existing
traffic regulations.
• Pay close attention to road and weather condi-
tions.
• Always avoid situations where rapid acceleration
or deceleration is required.
• Double the recommended following distance for
your towing speed.
• Always be aware of traffic conditions around you.
• Identify any possible “blind spots” behind or on
either side of the trailer.
• Plan ahead and check your mirrors carefully when
changing lanes, stopping, or turning.
• Always signal your intentions well in advance of a
lane change or turn.
• Make very wide turns. Your trailer will not follow
the path of your tow vehicle tires.
• Stop periodically to check the condition of the
trailer, boat, and tow vehicle.
!
WARNING
Tow vehicle GCWR must exceed the combined
weights of your vehicle, boat, and trailer. Over-
loading the tow vehicle is unsafe and could
cause loss of vehicle control.
