load-carrying capacity of the trailer is the

GVWR less the weight of the empty trailer.

Be especially careful to avoid overload-

ing the trailer by putting heavy baggage,

camping gear, etc. inside the boat.

NEVER tow with water in ballast tanks or

bags. Failure to empty ballast on the boat

prior to towing can result in improper

weight distribution, which can cause tow-

ing instability. This could cause the driver

to lose control of the tow rig, resulting in

serious injury or even death to the driver,

any passengers and to other motorists.

Do not tow the boat with wakeboards, skis

or other gear left on the board tower racks.

Doing so may void the warranty and cause

damage to the boat or to vehicles follow-

ing behind, as boards and/or racks may

become disengaged.

Do not tow with any gear in the tower racks,

even if the gear appears to be secure. The

racks are not designed to withstand air

pressure from highway speeds. Gear may

become dislodged, potentially causing

damage to the boat or following vehicles.

Loose objects may damage the boat and/or

trailer. Such damage would not be covered

by the warranty.

Weight Distribution

Improper weight distribution within the

boat can cause instability and loss of con-

trol while towing, which may result in death,

serious injury or property damage.

Improper weight distribution can cause

a boat trailer to shtail (sway from side to

side) as it moves down the highway, putting

excessive strains on both trailer and towing

equipment, which increases gas consump-

tion and may potentially cause an accident.

The most effective way to guard against

shtailing is to make sure the weight load

on the trailer is properly distributed.

It is extremely important that a minimum

of ve percent (5%) and a maximum of ten

percent (10%) of the total weight on the

trailer is on the trailer coupling ball when

the tongue is parallel to the ground. A bath-

room scale can be used for this determina-

tion.

For example, if the gross weight of the

trailer, boat and gear is 3,000 pounds, the
