If you believe that your vehicle has
a defect which could cause a crash or
could cause injury or death, DO NOT USE

inform the National Highway Trac Safe-

edy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot

The MasterCraft Trailer
Please take a few minutes to read this
section of the Owner’s Manual completely
before using your MasterCraft trailer for
the rst time. It provides substantial infor-
mation about the trailer. If you still have
questions after reviewing this information,
be sure to contact a MasterCraft dealer. It is
important that any and all trailer operators
possess as much knowledge as possible.
Note: The information given in this Man-
ual may not be applicable to international
rules of the road. If you have any questions,
please contact your local authorities.
Quick Tips
Here are some quick tips for maintaining
the trailer in excellent condition.
• NEVER ATTACH THE TRAILER
TO ANY DEVICE BETWEEN THE
TRAILER AND THE TOW VEHI-
CLE! The photo shows only one exam-
ple of a very bad situation. These devices
may be built or marketed with the idea
of improving stability in towing, but in
fact they create a very unstable condi-
tion in which control of the trailer may
be lost during
towing. The
MasterCraft
trailer was
designed and
built to be at-
tached direct-
ly to the tow
vehicle only.
This is espe-
cially critical
in maintain-
ing the prop-
er weight bal-
ance, which
is described
in more detail in this section of the Own-
er’s Manual.
• CHIPS IN THE PAINT, especially on
the axles and frame, result when these
surfaces are subjected to repeated or se-
vere hits by external objects. Usually,
these are gravel or asphalt chips thrown
up by the rear tires of the tow vehicle.
Over time, rust may develop where paint
has been chipped away, and this is not
covered by the Limited Warranty for the
trailer. To avoid this situation, consider
attaching mud aps behind the tow vehi-
