 2023 OWNER’S MANUAL 
An audible “click” will  be heard. The latch should close with finger 
pressure. If the latch will not close freely, the ball is not fully 
inserted into the socket, it is over-sized or egg- shaped, or the 
latching mechanism is damaged. DO NOT FORCE THE HANDLE.  
If necessary, replace the ball with a quality unit that meets  
SAE specifications.
Insert the hitch pin into the hole on the side of the coupler.  
The hitch pin will not go in the coupler if the hitch ball is not  
seated properly.
 
DO NOT tow the trailer with the handle open or if the latch handle 
will not remain closed. Check to see that the coupler is locked.
If the latch is damaged, contact an authorized MasterCraft dealer 
for assistance.
Lights
 
Before each use make certain that all trailer lights are in proper 
working order to reduce the risk of serious injury, death and/or 
property damage.
The MasterCraft trailer harness was specifically designed to mate 
with the tow vehicle’s equipment. This harness is designed to 
disengage the trailer brakes using the tow vehicle’s harness.
NOTE: See an authorized MasterCraft dealer if the tow vehicle 
does not have  the  correct  trailer harness.
The trailer lights are brighter when the trailer is submerged.  
A sensor notifies the system when the trailer ramp is under water, 
and the lights will be at their maximum luminance. When the trailer  
is  removed  from the water, the lights will automatically dim.  
There is no consumer control for the system.
To keep trailer lighting system in good 
working order:
Be sure the white ground wire is properly connected to the master 
cylinder. Replace any parts that are damaged or worn.
