2021 OWNERS MANUAL / 422
Ensuring that a MasterCraft boat will be held securely in place on
the trailer’s hull support (bunks), especially when towing, is ex-
tremely important. If the boat is not firmly and properly secured, the
boat can be damaged as it bounces against the hull supports.
MasterCraft oers the Ramp-N-Clamp system to simplify loading
and launching the boat from the trailer. To operate:
• Set the Ramp-N-Clamp handle to the down position so it can
catch the boat when loading onto the trailer.
• Lift the Ramp-N-Clamp handle to the up position to release boat
from the trailer.
• Do not lift the Ramp-N-Clamp handle until you are ready to re-
lease boat from the trailer.
Helpful Tips
For easier release on the ramp, put the boat in forward gear or keep
the winch strap tight while lifting the Ramp-N-Clamp handle.
Keeping the Ramp-N-Clamp cover and front of the boat waxed is
part of the proper, regular maintenance.
If the boat rocks back and forth on the trailer while towing, raise
the winch post uprights or add tie down straps to trailer to prevent
rocking. An ill-fitting trailer will cause wear that is not covered under
the warranty.
A winch strap must be used and be firmly tight while towing. This
prevents wear to the bow eye that is not covered under warranty.
Failure to engage the locking pin may result in the collapse of the
jack stand, which could cause serious injury or death.
Always be certain that the feet of individuals operating the trailer
jack or in the vicinity of the trailer jack are clear when the jack
is lowered into position. A considerable amount of the trailer’s
weight, and that of the boat when it is aboard the trailer, can
be transferred through the trailer jack. This could cause very
painful injuries if feet are not clear of the jack when it is lowered.
Be certain that fingers and hands are clear when moving the
trailer jack because they can be pinched in the mechanism, again
resulting in injury.
