2023 OWNER’S MANUAL
BACKING DOWN THE RAMP
If possible, have someone stand to one side of the ramp to provide
directions. Backing up a trailer can be tricky. A good way to simplify
the procedure is to grasp the steering wheel with one hand at its
lowest point (6 o’clock). To make the trailer go right, move your
hand on the wheel to the right (move the wheel counter-clockwise);
to make the trailer go left, move your hand to the left (move the
wheel clockwise).Slowly back the trailer into the water until the
transom floats four (4) plus inches o of the trailer. The depth of
the trailer to achieve this will vary depending on ramp angle. Set
the parking brake and shift into park (automatic transmission) or
first gear (manual transmission). Shut o the engine. Unlock the
Ramp-N-Clamp (where equipped) latch and winch hook; then back
the boat o the trailer.
RELOADING THE TRAILER
To reload the boat on the trailer, simply reverse the above
procedures, including setting your Ramp-N-Clamp to the proper
position, and drive the boat onto the trailer at an extremely slow
pace. Before loading, clean any dirt or sand o the rollers
and bunks. Sand on these can be abrasive on the boat’s bottom
while underway. Be sure to back in and completely wet the trailer
LAUNCHING TIPS AND
TECHNIQUES
Every MasterCraft boat owner develops his or her own favorite
launching technique.
Check The Ramp First
Whether launching from an unimproved or surfaced ramp, check it
out before starting the launch procedure.
How steep is it?
Is the surface firm enough to support the weight of the trailer
and tow vehicle?
Is it wide enough?
How deep is the water at the end of the ramp?
Use great care when walking, standing or loading and unloading
boats on or around any launch ramps because some launch ramps
may be slippery when wet.
Install the drain plugs and detach the trailer tie-downs.
