TRAILER TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
When the MasterCraft trailer is loaded and in-tow, the combined
dimensions of the trailer and boat are often greater than those of
the tow vehicle itself. Bearing this in mind, the operator will need to
make a few adjustments to their usual driving practices.
Use Common Sense
MasterCraft cannot anticipate every type of situation in which
drivers may find themselves. The following recommendations
apply to general situations, but it is up to the individual driver to
properly and safely act or react as a given situation requires.
Take a Shakedown Cruise
Before making the first major trip or lake cruise with a MasterCraft
trailer, make at least one short trial run to become familiar with its
handling characteristics. Be sure everything is working properly.
Slow Down
There is less strain on the tow vehicle, trailer and boat at moderate
to slow speeds. Also, many states have lower speed limits for
vehicles towing trailers. Driving at moderate speeds will place less
strain on the tow vehicle and the trailer. Trailer instability (sway) is
more likely to occur as speed increases. Particular attention needs
to be given to all aspects of towing when traveling over bumpy
roads and railroad crossings.
Allow Extra Time and Space
You’ll need more of both when passing and stopping.
Pass With Extra Care
Signal well in advance and make sure you allow extra distance to
clear the vehicle you are passing before you pull back into the lane.
Pass on level terrain with plenty of clearance. Avoid passing
on steep up or down grades. Down shift as necessary to improve
acceleration or speed maintenance. When passing on narrow
roads, be careful to avoid soft shoulders. Running on soft
shoulders could cause the trailer to jack-knife or go out of control.
Avoid Sudden Steering Maneuvers
These may create sway or undue side force on the trailer.
To control swaying caused by air pressure changes and wind
buffeting when larger vehicles pass from either direction, release
the accelerator pedal to slow down. Keep a firm grip on the
steering wheel.
Allow Considerably More Distance
There is considerably more weight to be maneuvered, and even
though your trailer is equipped with a braking system, it is highly
