TRANSPORTING :

For optimum handling, the trailer must be properly loaded and balanced.

Keep the center of gravity low for best handling.

Approximately 60 percent of the boat's weight should be positioned on the front half of the

trailer and 40 percent in the rear.

The boat should also be balanced from side to side. If the vessel has side mounted fuel or water

tanks and only one side is filled, then this will lend the rig to maneuver poorly. Proper balancing

will also prolong the life of your trailer tires.

The boat should also be firmly secured with at least two ratchet type straps, one attached fronm

the trailer to the stem eyes and one strap from the trailer to the bow eye to keep the boat from

shifting forward. The bow eye should also be attached to the trailer's winch which is mounted

forward of the bow. Make sure you have sufficient clearance to avoid to damage outboard or

boat during transportation. Some foldable tenders can be accomodate / transported on a roof

rack. We recommend the boat to be protected from the roof rack that could damage the tube ma-

terial. Boat should be stowed upside down. Oars, bench seat and equipments should be removed

from the boat. Boat must be secured using reliable nylon tie dow, straps with cam buckles.

ing and operation of the outboard motor.
