Braking System
Check the braking system at the beginning of boating season and
again at the conclusion, along with the wheel bearings. If there is
anything that appears to be worn or leaking, take the trailer to an
authorized MasterCraft dealer for a check and possible repair.
Tow Vehicle Approach
Tow vehicles must always approach the trailer slowly prior to being
hitched to the trailer. This allows the operator to retain greater
control. Hard impact with the trailer or improper alignment on the
trailer can result in damage to the tow vehicle, boat and/or the
trailer, and any such damage is not covered under warranty.
Seven-Wire Connector
The tow vehicle must have a seven-wire connector in order for disc
brakes and the trailer lights to function properly. It is important to
connect the seven-wire connector on the trailer to the seven-wire
connector on the tow vehicle. MasterCraft recommends applying
dielectric grease to the terminals inside the 7-pin trailer connector
at least once per year. This helps protect the terminals from
corrosion, which is inherent to a non-sealed connection.
are gravel, stones, asphalt chips or other debris on roadways, which
are thrown up by the rear tires of the tow vehicle. Over time, rust
may develop where paint has been chipped away. Such damage is
not covered by the Limited Warranty for the trailer. To avoid chipping
the paint on the trailer and to preserve its condition, consider
attaching mud flaps behind the tow vehicle’s rear tires. Exceptional
care should be taken to travel as slowly as practical when traveling
on gravel or other loose surfaces.
Lubrication
To ensure proper operation of the trailer jack, wipe it down and
lubricate it on a regular basis.
Salt Water Eects
If the trailer is backed into salt water, you must completely and
thoroughly wash the trailer in fresh water to prevent rusting. Salt
water is very corrosive, even on galvanized trailers, and can corrode
the braking system. Exposure to salt water can also cause brake
pads to stick and malfunction.
Regular Cleaning
The trailer will look better and last longer if it is rinsed o with fresh
water several times a year. If the boat is run in brackish or salt water,
the trailer should be rinsed thoroughly after every trip because of
residual eects of the brackish or salt water. An annual washing
with a mild detergent and waxing with an auto wax will also help to
keep the trailer bright and clean.
