TRAILERING
TRAILERING
A correctly selected trailer supports your boat properly,
makes towing safer, and makes loading and unloading
easier. Improper trailering is one of the major causes of
damage to boats. The warranty does not cover damage of
this type. Familiarize yourself with proper towing
procedures before taking your boat out on the road.
TRAILER
IMPORTANT: Selecting the right trailer is very important.
The trailer must properly support the boat’s size and
weight, including fuel and equipment. Selecting the right
trailer is very important for trailering safely and preventing
damage. Your dealer will advise you and assist with trailer
selection.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
Your trailer should be able to accommodate the weight of
the boat, engine, full fuel tank and any other equipment
that will normally be carried. Check the certification label
on the frame of the trailer for the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR). The total weight of your boat, engine, fuel,
gear and trailer should not exceed the GVWR.
Remember that the published weight is the wet weight of
your boat. Dry weight does not include the weights of
outboard motors, batteries, gasoline, any optional items,
gear or trailers. The weight of these items must be added
to the dry weight to determine the proper trailer GVWR
needed. If your boat is equipped with a larger than
standard engine, you must allow for the engine’s added
weight.
