WARNING! When towing, the towline is under high tension. If it should break,
the end that snaps off may lash back fast enough to cause serious
injury or death. Always use a thick enough line and keep to one
side of the towline.
NOTE! When towing another boat or being towed, always drive at low
speed. If the boat has a displacement hull, never exceed hull
speed while towing.
NOTE! The towline should always be fastened so that it can be
unfastened under load.
5.11.7 Trailer transport
Weight data for trailer transport may be found in the technical specifications. The trailer’s
keel supports should bear most of the weight of the boat. Adjust the side supports so that
the boat will not rock sideways. For more information, please turn to your dealer.
Clean the supports of sand and dirt so that they will not scratch the bottom of the boat.
Double-check that the trailer is securely coupled to the trailer tow hitch!
The place for lifting the boat out of the water should be sheltered, and the ramp should
extend deep enough into the water. Reverse the trailer so deep into the water that the
rearmost keel support is just above the water. Drive the boat carefully towards the rearmost
keel support. Fasten the hoist cable to the towing eye and reel the boat up onto the trailer,
making sure that the boat remains straight on the trailer’s centre line. Remember to trim up
the engine before reeling the boat onto the trailer so that it will not hit the bottom.
