Before Every Trip
• Ensure that all vehicle and trailer maintenance has been per-
formed as set out in this Owner’s Manual and the various other
manuals, including the tow vehicle’s owners manual.
• Verify that the tongue weight and load are within proper specifi-
cation. Further, be sure that the load distribution is correct so that
the tow vehicle and trailer are properly balanced front-to-back and
side-to-side.
• Check the brake fluid reservoir to ensure it has the proper fluid level.
• Examine the brake rotor surfaces and remove excessive rust, flush-
ing the brakes if the trailer has been idle for an extended period of
time or submerged in salt water and not flushed afterwards.
• Examine the actuator for wear, bent parts, corroded/seized parts
or other damage.
• Test the actuator to verify the brakes are working prior to use.
• Verify all running lights and brake lights, turn signals and hazard
lights, are working properly and that all wiring is properly connected.
The wire harness must not be touching the road, but loose enough
to make turns without disconnecting or damaging the wires.
• Verify the coupler latch and all equipment that connect the trailer
and tow vehicle are properly secured and adjusted.
• Verify that there are no leaks in the hydraulic system.
• Verify the safety cables are properly attached to the tow vehicle.
• Verify the emergency brake cable is attached properly to the
tow vehicle.
• Verify the boat is properly loaded on the trailer and properly tied
down to the trailer.
• Verify and/or correct tire pressure on both the tow vehicle and trailer.
• Ensure the lug nuts are properly torqued. (This must also be done
after the first 25 miles of towing and every 100 miles thereafter, at
a minimum. MasterCraft recommends checking this more often.
At each fuel or rest stop is not excessive.)
• Verify the wheel jack is retracted and in the locked position prior
to towing.
• Verify the tow vehicle has not exceeded the load capacity prior
to towing.
• Check the guide pole bars to ensure they are tight.
• Check that all items are securely fastened on and in the trailer.
Every Three To Six Months Or 250 Miles,
Whichever Occurs First (In Addition To Above)
• Grease the trailer jack.
• Oil the trailer jack handle in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
• Examine the entire trailer for any abnormalities or damage.
• Examine the trailer bunks for any signs of abnormal wear.
• Lubricate all the rollers on the trailer with a light coat of oil.
