TRAILER
TURNBUCKLE: Your trailer comes equipped with a galvanized turnbuckle
(see
illustration below). This turnbuckle
is
to
be
used while trailering your boat and must
be
removed for the launch and recovery of your boat. There
is
a wing-nut located
on
the
top of the turning mechanism that secures your turnbuckle once it has been affixed to the
bow eye of your boat. You must loosen this wing-nut before you can loosen the
turnbuckle.

Turn the body of the turnbuckle only by hand. Once
all
of the slack
is
removed from the
turnbuckle, tighten the wing-nut.
TURNBUCKLE
DOLLY JACK: The dolly jack mounted toward the front of your trailer affords
an
easy
method of storing your boat
in
a raised position and also
in
raising and lowering the trailer
in
respect to your vehicle's hitch. TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY AND EQUIPMENT
DAMAGE, NEVER PLACE HANDS
OR
OTHER BODY PARTS BETWEEN THE
COUPLING AND ANY PART OF THE TOW VEHICLE.
The dolly jack should
be
periodically oiled for smooth operation. Introduce some light
lubricating oil into the hole located just below the jack crank handle on the left hand side
of the jack post. This can be done with a small oil can.
Some Correct Craft trailers feature a "swing up" dolly jack. Once the trailer
is
coupled to
the tow vehicle, turn the crank handle until the weight
is
off the dolly jack. Then pull the
spring loaded pin out, swing the dolly jack parallel to the ground and reinsert the pin.
This convenient feature saves time by eliminating the need to crank the jack the
full
scope
up or down.
