LAUNCHING
Before launching, inspect the launch ramp for any
problems that may hinder launching or make
launching unsafe. Ramps can be slick and
dangerous to drive or walk on, and may have
unseen drop-offs beneath the water that would
pose a safety hazard. Always be aware of water
conditions and the effects of the wind when
launching.
Before launching, inspect your boat and trailer for
damage. Do not launch if you detect damage or
find that the engine or propeller is not in good
operating condition. Have any repairs made
before launching.
Use courtesy when preparing your boat for
launching by preparing away from the ramp on
level ground before proceeding to the launch
ramp.
When launching your boat on the trailer, have two
or more people assist you. Since all launches are
different, the following procedures are intended
as guidelines only:
• Verify that your vehicle’s brakes, including the
parking brake, are in proper working order.
• Make sure the trailer is securely fastened to the
vehicle.
• Remove the boat cover, if equipped.
• Check that the bilge drain plug is in place and
all other plugs that allow water to leak into the
boat are in place.
• Remove all tie-downs from your boat.
• Attach the bow and stern docking lines.
• Attach boat fenders if necessary.
• Disconnect the trailer lights from the car.
• If applicable, trim or tilt the engine/outdrive up
to avoid damage.
• Make sure the bow winch and strap are
securely locked and fastened.
• Make sure the bow winch safety chains, if
equipped, are in place.
• Make sure all required documentation and
safety equipment are on-board.
• Verify that batteries are fully charged and in
good condition.
• Check fuel level; add fuel if necessary.
• Always launch with the help of another person.
• Make sure there is no one on the ramp behind
your boat.
• Keep the trailer/vehicle combination as straight
as possible and at 90 degrees to the shoreline.
• Back slowly down the ramp until the transom of
your boat is a few inches in the water; then stop
the vehicle.
• Stop the vehicle and shift into PARK (automatic
transmission) or REVERSE (manual
transmission). Apply the brakes and/or parking
brake. If possible, use wheel blocks.
• Position the mooring lines within reach of the
dock.
• Disconnect the bow winch strap and safety
chains, if equipped, from the bow eye.
• Manually back your boat clear of and off the
trailer into the water and secure to the dock
using mooring lines.
• Remove any wheel blocks and release the
vehicle brakes. Pull the trailer slowly out of the
water, and secure and park in a designated
area.
• Board your boat.
• Lower the engine/outdrive, if applicable.
• Run the bilge blowers as required, if equipped.
• See the
Engine Operator’s Manual for starting
procedures.
• Remove dock lines from the dock and proceed
slowly away from the dock.
