Operation
dealer to evaluate your towing vehicle and hitch
and to make sure you have the correct trailer for
your boat.
Important Note:
Your Crevalle is a heavy boat and care must
be taken when selecting the trailer. We
recommend that you use a bunk style trailer
that incorporates a combination of heavy
duty rollers or bunks, to support the keel
and long bunks running under and parallel
to the stringers to support the hull. Avoid
using a full roller trailer that does not have
bunks. Roller trailers have a tendency to put
extreme pressure points on the hull, espe -
cially on the lifting strakes and have dam -
aged boats. The situation is worse during
launching and haul out. Damage resulting
from improper trailer support or the use of
a full roller trailer will not be covered by the
Crevalle Warranty.
Notice:
Contact your trailer dealer to evaluate your
towing vehicle and hitch and to make sure
you have the correct trailer for your boat.
• Make sure the trailer is a match for your boat’s
weight and hull design. More damage can be
done to a boat by the stresses of road travel
than by normal water operation. A boat hull
is designed to be supported evenly by water.
So, when it is transported on a trailer it should
be supported structurally as evenly across the
hull as possible allowing for even distribution of
the weight of the hull, engine and equipment.
• Make sure the trailer bunks and/or rollers
properly support the hull and do not put
pressure on the lifting strakes. The rollers
and bunks must be kept in good condition to
prevent scratching and gouging of the hull.
• The capacity rating of the trailer should be
greater than the combined weight of the boat,
motor and equipment. The gross vehicle
weight rating must be shown on the trailer.
Make sure the weight of the boat, engine, gear
and trailer is not more than the gross vehicle
weight rating.
• Make sure the boat is securely fastened on the
trailer to prevent movement between the boat
and trailer. The bow eye on the boat should
be secured with a rope, chain or turnbuckle in
addition to the winch cable or strap. Additional
straps may be required across the beam of the
boat or from the transom eyes to the trailer.
Notice:
Your dealer will give instructions on how to
load, fasten and launch your boat.
CAUTION
BOATS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY TRAILERS THAT DO NOT
PROPERLY SUPPORT THE HULL. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE
TRAILER BUNKS AND ROLLERS ARE ADJUSTED SO THEY
ARE NOT PUTTING EXCESSIVE PRESSURE ON THE LIFTING
STRAKES AND ARE PROVIDING ENOUGH SUPPORT FOR THE
HULL. HULL DAMAGE RESULTING FROM IMPROPER TRAILER
SUPPORT IS NOT COVERED BY THE CREVALLE WARRANTY.
Before Going Out On The Highway
• Side curtains, clear connector, backdrop
and aft curtain must be removed when
trailering. Canvas enclosures are not designed
to withstand the extreme wind pressure
encountered while trailering and will be
damaged. Always remove and properly store
the enclosure before trailering your boat.
• Make sure the tow BALL and TRAILER COUPLER
are the same size and bolts and nuts are tightly
secured.
• The COUPLER MUST BE COMPLETELY OVER
THE BALL and the LATCHING MECHANISM
LOCKED DOWN.
• Make sure the TRAILER IS LOADED EVENLY
from front to rear as well as side to side and
has the correct weight on the hitch. Too much
weight on the hitch will cause the rear of the
tow vehicle to drag and may make steering
more difficult. Too little weight on the hitch
will cause the rig to fishtail and will make
controlling the tow vehicle difficult. Contact
the trailer manufacturer or your dealer for the
correct weight on the hitch for your trailer.
