Prior to each use of the winch, check for the proper ratchet
operation. Do not use the winch if it is damaged. Seek immediate
repairs. Never use the winch handle as a handle for pulling or
maneuvering the entire trailer or other equipment.
Never pull on the winch handle against a locked ratchet. Never
exceed the rated capacity of the winch. Excessive loads may
cause premature failure. Never apply a load on the winch with the
strap fully extended. Keep at least two full turns of the strap that is
on the reel. Inspect the condition of the winch strap.
Using a damaged or worn winch strap may result in serious injury or
damage. Check the winch straps frequently. The strength in these
can deteriorate from exposure to weather, ozone and ultraviolet
light (direct sunlight). If a strap becomes frayed or worn, replace it
immediately with a new one.
A heavy grease should be applied to the winch’s gears to provide a
free-running drive and to minimize the effort you have to expend to
crank the boat onto the trailer.
The winch is intended solely as an aid to loading the boat on the
trailer. It is not recommended to use the winch as the sole method
for loading the boat onto the trailer. However, it is a satisfactory
assistant in the event of engine power loss. It is not intended or
adequate to be the sole means of holding the boat in place while
loading the boat onto the trailer. Proper tie-downs fore and aft must
be used.
Swing Tongue
Ensure the swing tongue is folded fully forward, the pivot pin is
installed, and the keeper pin is installed in the bottom of the pivot
pin before towing. When folding the swing tongue open or forward
to the fully closed position, be sure that the brake hose is not kinked
or pinched in any way. A pinched or kinked brake hose will cause the
brakes to drag and overheat.
NOTE: Because all pins, fasteners and other components are
specially designed, high-strength components, any component re-
placement or adjustment of the swing tongue should be performed
by your authorized MasterCraft dealer.
(See the Lockout information elsewhere in this section of the Own-
er’s Manual.)
Trailer Winch Assembly
Maintain a firm grip on the winch handle at all times. Never release
the handle when the ratchet lever is in the unlocked position with
a load on the winch because the handle will spin forcefully under
these conditions. This may cause serious injury. If the winch is
released and begins to spin forcefully, do NOT attempt to halt the
spin.
How To Attach The Trailer
To connect the trailer to the tow vehicle, open the coupler mecha-
nism (instructions below). When necessary, raise the trailer jack.
Slowly back up the tow vehicle until the hitch ball is under the cou-
pler. This is easier to perform with another person standing beside
the trailer and guiding the driver.
Do not move the trailer to the tow vehicle. When the trailer is
moved without a tow vehicle, the brakes do not work.
If the latch accidentally opens, the coupler could detach from the
hitch ball. The hitch pin should fit easily into the hole. If it does not,
the coupler latch is not completely closed. Every time the coupler is
attached to the hitch ball, be sure the coupler completely covers the
hitch ball and the lift handle will not open. If the hitch pin is damaged
or lost, contact an authorized MasterCraft dealer to purchase a
replacement pin.
You must install either the hitch pin that is supplied or a padlock
(1/4” or 5/16” shank) into the hitch pin hole before towing to pre-
vent the coupler latch from accidentally opening.
