RUNNING
11-13
Loading
1. Back the trailer down the ramp as close to 90° to the shoreline as you can. If possible, have a second
person act as an observer while standing to the side of the boat. Stop when the tops of the trailer’s fenders
are about 3 inches above the waterline.
2. With the boat moving at the slowest idle speed, guide the boat onto the support rails. Use throttle only if
necessary for steering ability.
3. Make sure the boat is centered on the support rails and is headed straight for the bow stop (bumper board).
Ease the boat forward until the bow rests against the bow stop.
4. Attach and tighten the winch line.
Using too much throttle can cause the boat to jump over the front of the trailer
which can result in injury to the boat operator and bystanders. Use only enough
throttle to maneuver the boat into the correct position.
