2021 OWNERS MANUAL / 398
Load Limit
The correct method for determining the load limit is to:
• Locate the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) statement on
the trailer tongue. (The number shown equals the total weight
capacity for the boat and all contents that can be safely loaded
and towed on the trailer.)
• Determine the combined weight of the boat and all contents of
the boat being loaded onto the trailer. The boat’s weight is listed
in the guide to individual models section of this owner’s manual.
(The total weight of the boat and contents may not safely exceed
the available cargo load capacity listed on the trailer tongue).
WALK AROUND INSPECTION
The majority of potential roadside issues can be eliminated by a walk-
around visual inspection of the trailer. This should be done after hitching
the trailer to the tow vehicle, and again at each fuel or rest stop.
Make A Quick Visual Check Of:
• Coupler
• Safety cables
• Emergency brake cable
• Wiring connector
• Tie-downs
• Tires
Look For:
• Any obvious fluid leaks
• Unusually hot brakes or hubs
• Damage caused by road hazards
• Low tire pressure
Make a point to pay particular attention to the right (starboard)
side of the trailer, as this is typically where most road hazard
damage occurs.
