TRAILER
HITCH:
If you don't already have a trailer hitch installed on your vehicle, you should go
to a reputable installer to have this done. Correct Craft trailers require a
2"
hitch ball of
proper capacity for your boat/trailer combination.
(It
is
also a good idea to purchase
an
inexpensive hitch
ball
protective cover available
at
marine supply stores.)
WARNING:
DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO TOW MORE THAN ONE TRAILER AT A TIME
BEHIND YOUR TOW VEHICLE.
Your Correct Craft trailer was designed to
accommodate the weight of a specific boat under normal load. By attempting to tow
an
additional trailer, the trailer tongue weight
is
adversely effected and loss of vehicle control
and/or injury or death may occur.
CAUTION: NEVER INSTALL A BUMPER-MOUNTED HITCH
ON
YOUR
VEHICLE.
ALWAYS
USE
A HITCH ATTACHED
TO
THE
FRAME
OF
YOUR
VEHICLE.
Always use a hitch rated with the appropriate capacity to match the trailer's gross
vehicular rating (see caution label
on
trailer and Proper Trailer Tongue Weight pages
in
this chapter.)
WIRING: Unless you are
an
expert
in
towed vehicle wiring, have your vehicle wired to
the requirements of your trailer by someone familiar with such work. (Most reputable
firms can supply this service at the same time that your hitch
is
installed.)
SECURITY: There are several locking devices available at marine supply stores that
will
aid
in
securing your boat whether or not
it
is
attached to your vehicle.
TILT TONGUE: Some Correct Craft
trailers are equipped with a tilting tongue
to facilitate storage. To tilt the trailer
tongue, remove the 5/8" bolt from the
trailer tongue. Tilt the tongue down,
pulling the loading pads away from the
bow. Remove the pin from the base of
the front loader and loosen pinch bolt.
Uft
up and remove the front loader. The
trailer tongue can then be tilted up to
shorten the overall length of the trailer.
On
Ski
Nautique trailers, the turnbuckle
can
be
fastened through the tie down ring
on
the starboard side
-of
the folded piece
to keep the tilted tongue from falling
down.
