Do not detach the winch cable from the bow eye until a mooring line
has been secured to one of the boat’s cleats. Otherwise, the boat could
slide off the trailer and float away. Attach one line to the bow and one
line to the stern to help control the boat. See the Mooring information
in Chapter 9 for suggested securing procedures.
After moving the boat down and off the trailer into the water, secure it
to the dock or have someone hold mooring lines. Then lower the out-
drive all the way into the water.
Pull the towing vehicle away from the launch ramp. Park only in desig-
nated areas. When parking, be sure the towing vehicle and trailer do
not block other boaters from approaching the launch ramp or hinder
their ability to maneuver a boat and trailer when launching.
LOADING YOUR BOAT ON THE TRAILER
Loading your boat is similar to launching except loading is done in
reverse.
1. Back the trailer into the water.
2. When the trailer is in several inches of water:
• STOP the towing vehicle.
• Leave manual transmission in gear or place automatic
transmission in park.
• Place blocks behind the vehicle’s back wheels.
• Turn off the engine.
• Set the parking brake.
Note: If you have a bunk trailer, the trailer may need to be more than
several inches in the water before loading.
3. Tilt the boat’s drive up to the high tilt position to avoid damage
while loading.
4. Pull boat up onto trailer and secure safety chain.
5. After securing the boat to the trailer, start engine on towing
vehicle and pull trailer out of water to boat securing area. (If
blocks are connected with a rope to the trailer tongue, you will
not need to remove them before pulling trailer out.)
