depending on load distribution in the boat as well as the angle of
the ramp where the boat is being used.
Power loading is always possible, but winching on the last few
inches may be necessary, depending on the steepness of the ramp.
As with most boats, if the trailer is backed in too far on a particularly
steep ramp, the bow can easily go under the bow roller. Approaching
the trailer very slowly (typically in neutral) is recommended.
Unloading depth can (and should be) somewhat deeper than these
recommended loading depths, as the bunks are not needed to
guide the boat o the trailer. Power unloading can burn the carpet in
the same manner as power loading.
Following loading, wet brakes may not hold and/or may cause
brakes to have diminished performance characteristics. A few brak-
ing applications at a slow speed will help to dry them out. Extra care
must be used when braking after brakes have become wet.
Towing Requirements
States and municipalities may require special permits and licenses
based on the size and weight of your trailer. Some states require
additional equipment for the tow vehicle, such as side and rear view
mirrors. Inquire at your local motor vehicle administration oce to
find out what requirements aect you.
If you plan to travel in another state, don’t forget to check require-
ments there also. In addition to licenses and permits, there may be
weight, height and width limits for using certain roads, bridges and
tunnels. Also, be aware of restrictions regarding the transport of
gases or fuels in tunnels.
And don’t forget to contact your insurance company to make sure
you have proper coverage for all types of towing situations. Some
jurisdictions may also require liability insurance. If you have a loan
for the trailer purchase, your lender may also require insurance.

Before towing the vehicle, be sure to read and familiarize yourself
with the instructions and warnings supplied with it.
