FINAL ADJUSTMENT:
Place the PWC’s on the trailer so the rear
of the machines are positioned at the rear
of the bunks. Check the bunk positioning
for clearance with the strakes. Loosen the
U-bolts securing the PWC bunk brackets to
the crossmembers and slide the bunks either
in or out so that they are located just to the
outside of matching strakes. This will not only
help with loading but will also give you proper
support for your machine. Re-tighten the
bunks when in the proper location. Repeat
on the other machine.
Note the PWC bunk brackets also have
multiple holes for raising or lowering the
position that the machine sets on the trailer
with respect to the frame and fenders. It may
require a change in the height adjustment to
clear the fenders on certain machines.
TRAILERADJUSTMENTS
The adjustment of the trailer to your boat
is very important not only for the trailer, but
also the PWC’s. Failure to do so may lead
to potential failure or damage to either the
trailer or PWC’s.
AXLE ADJUSTMENT
The amount of tongue weight on your trailer
can be adjusted as follows:
To lower the tongue weight, adjust the axle
assembly forward. To increase the tongue
weight, adjust the axle backward.
The distance that the axle assembly has to
be moved will vary because it is directly re-
lated to the weight and center of gravity of
the PWC’s placed on it. The tongue weight
is also dependant on whether your trailer is
equipped with a storage box and how much
gear you will normally carry in it.
Best towing is achieved when the tongue
weight is 5-7% of the total gross load of the
complete unit.
NOTE: Wire harnesses and brake line lines
(if equipped with brakes) will need care
when moving the axle assembly.
WINCH POST ADJUSTMENT
Once all other adjustments are complete
the winch post can be adjusted. Slide the
winch post backward until the bow roller
comes in contact with the PWC. Align the
rear hole in the bottom of the winch post
with the closest hole in the frame mount-
ing channel. Insert a 3/8” hex bolt into the
rear hole. Position the bow roller directly
above the bow eye to prevent your PWC
from moving forward in the event of a sud-
den stop. The winch post can be rotated on
the rear bolt just installed until the bow roller
is at the desired height required to fit your
PWC. Once in the correct position, align the
closest pair of holes in the front of the winch
post and the mounting channel. Insert an-
other bolt in the aligned holes. Tighten. At-
tach the winch strap and crank winch tight.
Adjust the winch post for the second PWC
as described above.
Adjustments are now complete. Double
check for fit. If desired fit has been achieved,
tighten all fasteners that may have either
been left loose or have been loosened to
do the adjusting.
NOTE: All nuts and bolts must be tightened
before towing. All fasteners should be peri-
odically checked before towing.
