3. Tilt the boat’s drive up to the high tilt position to avoid damage while load-
ing.
4. Pull boat up onto trailer and secure safety chain.
5. After securing the boat to the trailer, start engine on towing vehicle and
pull trailer out of water to boat securing area. (If blocks are connected with
a rope to the trailer tongue, you will not need to remove them before pull-
ing trailer out.)
6. Open the drain plug to allow bilge to drain. Keep plug open to prevent
accumulation of water in bilge. Be sure to close drain plug before next boat
usage, to prevent flooding.
7. Use tie-downs to secure boat on trailer. Use stern tie-downs to prevent the
boat from shifting.
8. Wipe hull down to prevent water spots and keep hull clean.
9. Make sure all cargo, lids, and canvas are secure or tied down before traile-
ring on the road. Place loose gear in towing vehicle.
10. Reconnect trailer lights. Check that lights are working.
11. Be sure the coupler is secured to the trailer hitch and safety chains or
cables are attached.
TRAILER MAINTENANCE
1. Check tires for proper inflation (check tire rating on sidewall). Under-
inflated tires heat up rapidly and may blow-out or cause uncontrolled sway-
ing.
2. All lug nuts must be
checked to trailer manu-
facturer specifications
after 25 miles, again after
100 miles, and periodi-
cally thereafter. lug nuts
must be tightened in a
star crisscross pattern
(see illustration) to insure
uniform pressure and
alignment. Apply torque
evenly by repeating star
pattern until desired
torque is reached.
