Important Note:
Your Scout is a heavy boat and care must be taken when
selecting the trailer. We recommend that you use a bunk
style trailer that incorporates a combination of heavy duty
rollers, to support the keel and long bunks running under
and parallel to the stringers to support the hull. Avoid us-
ing a full roller trailer that does not have bunks. Roller
trailers have a tendency to put extreme pressure points on
the hull, especially on the lifting strakes, and have damaged
boats. The situation is worse during launching and haul out.
Damage resulting from improper trailer support or the use of
a full roller trailer will not be covered by the Scout Warranty.
Note: Contact your trailer dealer to evaluate your towing
vehicle and hitch, and to make sure you have the
correct trailer for your boat.
• Make sure the trailer is a match for your boat’s weight and
hull design. More damage can be done to a boat by the
stresses of road travel than by normal water operation. A
boat hull is designed to be supported evenly by water. So,
when it is transported on a trailer it should be supported
structurally as evenly across the hull as possible allowing
for even distribution of the weight of the hull, engine and
equipment.
• Make sure the trailer bunks and rollers properly support
the hull and do not put pressure on the lifting strakes.
The rollers and bunks must be kept in good condition
to prevent scratching and gouging of the hull.
• The capacity rating of the trailer should be greater than
the combined weight of the boat, motor, and equipment.
The gross vehicle weight rating must be shown on the
trailer. Make sure the weight of the boat, engine, gear
and trailer is not more than the gross vehicle weight
rating.
• Make sure the boat is securely fastened on the trailer to
prevent movement between the boat and trailer. The
bow eye on the boat should be secured with a rope,
chain or turnbuckle in addition to the winch cable.
Additional straps may be required across the beam of
the boat.
Note: Your trailer dealer will give instructions on how
to load, fasten and launch your boat.
BOATS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY TRAILERS
THAT DO NOT PROPERLY SUPPORT THE HULL.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE TRAILER BUNKS
AND ROLLERS ARE ADJUSTED SO THEY ARE
NOT PUTTING EXCESSIVE PRESSURE ON
THE LIFTING STRAKES AND ARE PROVIDING
ENOUGH SUPPORT FOR THE HULL. HULL
DAMAGE RESULTING FROM IMPROPER TRAILER
SUPPORT IS NOT COVERED BY THE SCOUT
WARRANTY.
Before Going Out On The Highway:
• SIDE CURTAINS, CLEAR CONNECTOR, BACK DROP
and AFT CURTAIN must be removed when trailering.
Canvas enclosures are not designed to withstand the
extreme wind pressure encountered while trailering and
will be damaged. Always remove and properly store the
enclosure before trailering your boat.
• Make sure the tow BALL and TRAILER COUPLER are
the same size and bolts and nuts are tightly secured.
• The COUPLER MUST BE COMPLETELY OVER THE
BALL and the LATCHING MECHANISM LOCKED
DOWN.
