through the vented rotors and over the
brake pads to cool them.
Always be courteous. Make it as easy
as possible for faster-moving vehicles to
pass you. Remain in the slower lane and
be prepared to reduce speed if they need
extra time to return to the lane.
Do not tailgate. Allow at least one com-
bined car and trailer length between you
and the car ahead for every 10 mph you
are traveling.
If a problem occurs, the general rule is to
stay calm. Do not panic and do not do any-
thing anymore suddenly or violently than is
necessary.
A sudden bumping or sh-tailing may be
a at tire. Do not jam on the brakes or mash
the accelerator to try to drive out of it. Stop
slowly and in as straight a line as possible.
If conditions permit, allow the trailer and
tow vehicle to coast at a very slow speed
and try to avoid braking, except when the
wheels are straight ahead and the trailer
and tow vehicle are in line.
If the trailer begins to sh-tail under ac-
celeration to highway speed, back off the
accelerator a little, and it should cease. If
it begins again upon acceleration, stop and
check the load. If the load is not evenly dis-
tributed, or if it is too far back so that the
hitch load becomes too light, the result can
be sh-tailing. Re-distribute the load be-
fore continuing.
Launching
Every MasterCraft boat owner develops
his or her own favorite launching technique.
Until you do, here are a few helpful tips:
Check the ramp rst. Whether launch-
ing from an unimproved or surfaced
ramp, check it out before starting the
launch procedure. How steep is it? Is
the surface rm enough to support the
weight of the trailer and tow vehicle? Is
it wide enough? How deep is the water at
the end of the ramp?
Use great care when walking, standing or
loading and unloading boats on or around
any launch ramps because some launch
ramps may be slippery when wet.
Prepareforlaunching. Install the drain
plugs and detach the trailer tie-downs.
Slowlybackthetrailerdowntheramp.
If possible, have someone stand to one
side of the ramp to provide directions.
Backing up a trailer can be tricky. A
good way to simplify the procedure is to
grasp the steering wheel with one hand
at its lowest point (6 o’clock). To make
the trailer go right, move your hand on
the wheel to the right; to make the trailer
go left, move your hand to the left.
Slowly back the trailer into the water
untilthetrailertirewheelwellisabout
evenwiththewatersurface.(This may
vary with the angle of the ramp.) Set the
parking brake and shift into park (auto-
matic transmission) or rst gear (manual
transmission). Shut off the engine. Un-
lock the Boat Buddy latch and winch
hook; then back the boat off the trailer.
To re-load the boat on the trailer, sim-
ply reverse the above procedures, includ-
ing setting your Boat Buddy latch to the
proper position, and drive the boat onto the
trailer at a slow pace. Before loading, clean
any dirt or sand off the rollers and bunks.
Sand on these can abrade the boat’s bottom
