Trailer/Trailering
Hitch
If you don’t already have a trailer hitch installed on your vehicle, go
to a reputable hitch company to have the proper size hitch
installed. Always use a hitch rated with the appropriate capacity to
match the trailer and boat’s gross weight.
Wiring
The trailer requires wiring from your vehicle to the trailer lights.
This can usually be done by the hitch company.
Security
There are several locking devices available at marine supply stores
to aid in securing your boat whether or not it is attached to your
vehicle.
Towing Your Boat
Read this checklist prior to trailering your boat.
• Check wheel lug nuts for tightness.
• Be sure the trailer tongue is securely on the hitch and the
safety chains from the trailer are secured to the vehicle.
DO NOT attempt to tow more than one
trailer at a time behind your vehicle. Attempting to tow
an additional trailer will adversely affect the trailer
tongue weight and loss of vehicle control and/or injury
or death may occur.
! WARNING
DO NOT use a bumper mounted hitch on your
vehicle. Use a hitch that is attached to the frame of your
vehicle only. DO NOT compromise your equipment, your
safety or the safety of others.
CAUTION
