• The safety chains are attached

crisscrossing under the coupler to the

frame of the tow vehicle. If the ball

were to break, the trailer would follow

in a straight line and prevent the

coupler from dragging on the road.

• The lights on the trailer function properly.

• Check the brakes. On a level parking area roll forward and apply the brakes several times at increasing

speeds to determine a safe stopping distance.

• The side view mirrors are large enough to provide an unobstructed rear view on both sides of the vehicle.

• Check tires (including spare) and wheel bearings. Improper inflation may cause difficulty in steering.

When trailer wheels are immersed in water (especially salt water), the bearings should be inspected and

greased after each use.

• Carry a spare tire and tools for changing. Include a spare bearing and race set for long trips.

Towing Precautions

• Allow more time to brake, accelerate, pass and stop.

• Remember, the turning radius is also much greater. Curbs and roadside barriers must be given a

wide berth when negotiating corners.

• Prior to operating on the road, practice turning, backing up, etc. on a level, un-congested parking

area.

Make certain that water from rain or cleaning has been removed from the boat. Water weighs approximately eight

pounds per gallon and can add weight that will shift with the movement of the trailer.

Backing A Trailer

Practice backing with a

trailer before you get into

a confined launch site.

Get accustomed to using

the trailer in an open

area. Take someone

with you who knows how

to back a trailer. Backing

a trailer works the

opposite of backing a

car. If the trailer needs

to travel to the right, turn

the steering wheel to the

left and vice versa. Do

not turn the wheel too far

or over steer. Turn the

wheel gradually until you

get the feel of safe

backing.

Pre-Launching Preparations

For the courtesy of others and to prevent rushing, prepare your boat for launching away from the ramp.

• Check the boat to ensure that no damage was caused by the trip

• Remove any covers and tie downs

• Place lines and fenders, if needed.
