22 of 36
points are fitted to Mod Pod models. These are to be used as tie down points. The boat transom-to-trailer tie down straps
and winch lines are designed for normal towing conditions on paved roadways and moderately rough secondary roads (at
slow speeds only). We recommend the use of additional straps or rope tie downs for securing the boat to the trailer,
particularly for longer trips or whenever you expect to encounter rough roads. The use of a motor support bracket is also
recommended.
Trailering Tips ~
HANDY TIP
Remember to close all hatches and doors in the boat before trailering. Store all loose equipment, so it cannot slide, fall or
blow out. Ensure the canopy / bimini is down and secure and that all seating inside the boat is also secured. It is possible
for seats to move while travelling – ensure all seats are strapped down and securely fastened.
HANDY TIP
Do not use your boat as a trailer. Do not carry excess weight in the boat while trailering or travelling on the water.
HANDY TIP
When reversing, engage the reverse lock on the trailer hitch. This will lock on the trailer hitch and stop the trailer brakes
operating when reversing. Remember to disengage the lock when the reversing operations are complete.
HANDY TIP
Too much or too little tongue weight will cause difficult steering and tow vehicle sway. Generally 5% to 10% of the boat
and trailer weight should rest on the tongue.
