5.10.5 Trailer towing
The boat weight with the engine and accumulator is 540-560 kg. This does not
include fuel and additional equipment load. Before lifting your Buster boat onto a
trailer, make sure the trailer is appropriate for the boat, the support is adequate to
minimise the load at each individual point, the bow stop assembly is in a suitable
position in relation to the trailer's axle and that the trailer’s carrying capacity is
sufficient for the boat, its engine, equipment, battery, all boating accessories and the
fuel load. The maximum permitted gross weight for a trailer with brakes is provided in
your car registration papers.
Remove any unnecessary load and drain the bilge before lifting the boat onto the
trailer. Adjust the side supports of the trailer so that the keel supports bear most of
the weight of the boat and the side supports keep the rolling sideways. Raise the
boat onto the trailer only by utilising the towing eyelet on the prow of the boat – the
other attaching points cannot bear the weight of the boat when lifting. Fasten the boat
securely to the trailer before transportation. Protect the boat by attaching suitable
padding between the fastening straps and the hull. Check the instructions related to
trailer transportation in the engine manual.
N.B.! The trailer should be slightly front-weighted. Ensure that the
boat is firmly fastened to the trailer and that its weight is
evenly distributed along the trailer supports. During
transportation, a swaying boat will buffet against the
supports and damage the hull.
WARNING! In terms of carrying capacity, an inadequate or poorly
maintained trailer can break down during transportation and
be dangerous. Ensure the load capacities of the trailer and
vehicle are sufficient for the weight of the boat, its engine,
fuel and all the equipment.
6 Service, repairs and winter storage
Information about maintenance, winter storage, service and repairs can be found on
the Internet at http://www.busterboat.com
or provided by your nearest Buster dealer.
Major damage to the aluminium surface or other surfaces should always be repaired
by an authorised Buster dealership.
In the event of engine defects or faults in other devices, contact the supplier of the
device in question.
N.B.! Surface treated fastening accessories are used in Buster
boats to prevent paint damage due to galvanic corrosion. If
any of the screws are removed, they must be replaced with
new ones. Using screws other than surface-treated Buster
screws will immediately void the warranty.
