NOTE: DO NOT attempt to use excessive power to free the
boat from dry carpet runners. Power o of the trailer only
when the boat has oated free.
If the trailer is not submerged to the correct depth, the
bow of the boat could drop when powering o incorrectly,
possibly damaging the boat.
Roll driver’s side window of tow vehicle down prior to
backing down ramp. Should the vehicle slip into the water,
the driver can escape through open window.
NOTE: Because your Supra is a true inboard, when backing
up, the stern will have a tendency to drift left or right
depending on propeller rotation.
Unloading Procedure
To unload the boat, use the following procedure as a guide:
1. Make sure that all drain plugs are securely in place.
2. Unplug light cord before backing into the water.
3. With Bow Eye Hook fastened, back the trailer until the water
level is approximately 1 inch below the top of the trailer
fenders. NOTICE: Ramp slopes vary, so actual level of water
on trailer may be dierent. (NOTE: Caution on this page!).
4. Follow the cold start procedure recommended in this
manual.
5. After starting the engine, remove Bow Eye Hook.
6. With engine idling, center steering wheel, engage
transmission and slowly pull throttle into reverse. Ease back
on the throttle lever until the boat starts to move.
Loading Procedure
To load the boat on the trailer, position the trailer in the water
with approximately 1 inch of the top of the fender showing.
1. Idle/coast the boat onto the trailer using as little power as
possible, while keeping it centered between the guide poles.
2. Power slowly forward until the bow eye roller contacts.
3. Winch hook must be attached to bow eye and tightened
before trailering.
DO NOT Power onto the trailer during rough conditions!
Once correctly positioned on the trailer, switch off
ignition.
DO NOT OVER-POWER onto trailer or damage may
occur to the boat and/or the trailer!
The trailer must be positioned for the correct water depth
for loading or you may damage the boat. Varying ramp
angles require dierent procedures. In general, the steeper
the ramp, the more shallow the trailer should be positioned
in the water. Your local dealer can help you understand this,
should you require additional assistance.
