MasterCraft Trailer - Manual (Page 21)

Like any mechanical assembly, a jack requires maintenance to
function properly over a long period of time. The drive gear and the
rack-and-pinion should be greased. The caster and wheel bearing
should be oiled frequently. Failure to swing up the jack before towing
may result in damage to your trailer.
Tie-Downs
Ensuring that your
MasterCraft is held se-
curely in place on the
trailer’s hull support, es-
pecially when underway,
is extremely important.
If it is not firmly and
properly secured, your
boat can be damaged as
it bounces against the hull supports.
MasterCraft’s Boat Buddy System is located on the winch stand.
Ask your MasterCraft dealer to demonstrate the proper use of the Boat
Buddy System. A separate winch strap is provided and should then be
attached to secure the boat to the bow stop.
As noted previously, it is very important to be sure that the tran-
som of your MasterCraft boat is resting fully and securely on the
supports provided at the rear end of the trailer, and that it remains in
place when parked or underway.
Tie-downs have been added on both bow and transom of the boat
and must be used while trailering.
Hitching Up
• Hitch only to the ball size marked on the coupler.
• Be certain the ball clamp captures the ball and lever or the handwell
is fully closed or tightened. Insert safety pin or optional lock pin.
