5.10.5 Trailer towing
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, and that the trailer’s carrying
capacity is sufficient for the boat, its engine, equipment, battery,
all boating accessories and the fuel load. Familiarise yourself fully
with the national road traffic regulations concerning combination
transports and the respective driving licence requirements. Check
also that the towing capacity of your car is sufficient for the com-
bination in question.
Remove unnecessary articles 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. 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 paddings
