NOTE!:
Some post delivery installations can cause damage to the structure of the
boat or impair safety, if not performed correctly. Consult the manufacturer
before you perform, for instance new earthings, hatches etc., or have them
made by somebody else.
4. TRANSPORTATION AND DOCKING
The docking of boats is an autumnal routine. In connection with docking, it is good to perform
all service, repair and inspection procedures. If you do not want to dock your boat yourself,
you may have some reputable marina do it.
A boat trailer enables boating on several water areas, or keeping the boat ashore between
boat trips.
4.1 TRAILER TRANSPORT
The YAMARIN 4730 is easy to trailer. However, make sure that the trailer suits your boat: that
it has a sufficient number of supports to decrease point loads, that its capacity is sufficient for
the boat, engine and accessories etc. The maximum gross trailer load is given in your car
registration book.
The keel supports of the trailer should carry most of the boat weight. Adjust the supports on
each side so that the boat cannot sway sideways. The approximate location of the supports is
shown in figure 2.
Clean the supports from sand and dirt so that they do not scratch the bottom of the hull.
Check once more that the trailer hitch is properly locked!
The hoisting place should be sheltered and the slipway long enough. The trailer should be
backed into the water until the rearmost keel support is just below water surface. Drive the
boat
′
s bow slowly against the rearmost keel support. Attach the winch wire rope to the towing
eye and pull the boat onto the trailer while checking that the boat is aligned with the trailer
center line.
Tie the boat firmly down to the trailer before transportation. A safety rope at bow must be
directed forward and downward. Aft movement is prevented by a line over the boat, as shown
in fig. 2. Do not leave any loose accessories or extra load in the boat during transportation.
During transportation, the engine should be kept at driving position. Make sure, however, that
there is sufficient ground clearance.
NOTE!:
The trailer should be front-heavy. Check that the boat is tied to the trailer
properly, and that the weight is distributed evenly between the side supports. A
swaying boat hitting against a single support during transportation may cause
damage to the hull.
Before launching the boat from the trailer, remember to fasten the mooring rope, so that you
can loosen the wire rope from the towing eye immediately when the boat is on the water. Be
careful with the winch handle!.
