BOATS

1. Don’t forget to install the Bilge Plug.

(Oh yes, you will, we all have!)

2. Remove Tie-down strap. Disconnect the trailer lights.

3. DO NOT disconnect your winch line or safety chain

until the boat is in the water and outboard is warmed-up.

4. Back the boat into the water.

“Caution” If your tow-vehicle has an automatic

transmission, after starting down the launch, shift your

transmission to neutral, and use the weight of the tow-

vehicle to launch your boat. Your transmission’s pulling

backward may cancel out your rear brakes. On a steep,

sandy, or slippery launch, your front brakes may be

inadequate to stop at the desired launch position.

5. Launch Position. Do not over-launch your boat. Don’t

back the trailer in over the top of the fenders.

6. Start the outboard and let it warm up on the trailer.

While it is warming up, check the Bilge Plug for

leakage. Verify outboard motor water pump operation

LAUNCHING INSTRUCTIONS

by looking for a steady stream of water coming out to

the water pump indicator.

7. After warming up, shift the outboard into forward to

hold the boat firmly against the bow receiver. Now have

a crewmember unhook the safety chain and winch line.

Once the bow is unhooked, shift into reverse and back

off the trailer.

8. Loading and unloading your boat at the boat launch can

be a tricky situation. Wind and current affect launch

conditions severely. It is better to load and unload

without additional crewmembers on board. Additional

weight and crewmembers moving about in the boat will

drastically change low speed maneuverability of the

boat.

9. Either beach or dock the boat to load your

crewmembers. Before leaving the dock or beach, make

sure all hands have put on their personal flotation

devices (life jackets). Now you are ready to get

underway.
