must be tightened before towing.

both the tongue wire harness and the vehicle harness
be properly grounded to the respective trailer and
vehicle frames.
Adjustment Instructions
Bunk Adjustment:
Place your water craft on the trailer. Determine the spacing
on the bunk support channels. It maybe necessary to
adjust your bunk support channels in or out from the
position you have it assembled. The bunks must be
adjusted to miss any keel or strake which might be on your
particular water craft.
IMPORTANT: The bunk assembly should be spaced as far
apart as possible for stability. This in most cases will also
allow your water craft to be as low as possible on the
trailer for better trailering, loading and unloading.
Once the bunk assemblies have been spaced properly for
your water craft, position the water craft on the trailer with
transom flush with the rear of the bunk assemblies.
Winch Post Adjustment:
Once the water craft is positioned on the trailer, adjust the
winch post to the water craft. Adjust the bow stop bracket
so that the rubber bow stop is just above the bow eye.
Note: Double check all fasteners and tighten before
towing.
