Trailering
This chapter covers trailer basics including equipment, maintenance,
and maneuvering techniques. Check with state and local agencies
for detailed information on required equipment, safety issues,
and trailer licensing.
BEFORE TRAILERING
Trailer Condition_______________________________
Before trailering your boat, be sure to check the air pressure of your
tires for the recommended infl ation rating. Also, be certain that your
tow vehicle is in good working order.
Check all lights to ensure they are in good working order. Trailers
come with an electrical harness that plugs into your vehicle. Some
vehicles may require a towing adapter for special electrical harnesses.
You may fi nd it helpful to ask someone to check your turn signals,
brake lights, and towing lights while you remain in the vehicle applying
them. Your Regal also features a towing electrical connection at the
bow next to the navigation light.
Check the trailer harness often for signs of fraying. Check the
harness connector for corrosion. Make sure the trailer harness when
connected to the trailer has enough slack for turning.
