2023 OWNER’S MANUAL
Prior to each use of the winch, check for the proper ratchet
operation. Do not use the winch if it is damaged. Seek immediate
repairs. Never use the winch handle as a handle for pulling or
maneuvering the entire trailer or other equipment.
Never pull on the winch handle against a locked ratchet. Never
exceed the rated capacity of the winch. Excessive loads may
cause premature failure. Never apply a load on the winch with the
strap fully extended. Keep at least two full turns of the strap that is
on the reel. Inspect the condition of the winch strap.
A heavy grease should be applied to the winch’s gears to provide a
free-running drive and to minimize the eort you have to expend to

satisfactory assistant in the event of engine power loss. It is not
intended or adequate to be the sole means of holding the boat in

Swing Tongue
Ensure the swing tongue is folded fully forward, the pivot pin is
installed, and the keeper pin is installed in the bottom of the pivot
pin before towing. When folding the swing tongue open or forward
to the fully closed position, be sure that the brake hose is not
kinked or pinched in any way. A pinched or kinked brake hose will
cause the brakes to drag and overheat.
NOTE: Because all pins, fasteners and other components are
specially designed, high-strength components, any component
replacement or adjustment of the swing tongue should be
performed by your authorized MasterCraft dealer.
