Specifications

load-Carrying CapaCity
Check the certification label attached to the front left
side of the trailer. It will show the maximum load-car-
rying capacity of the trailer. It will also show the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). The Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (“GVWR”) is the estimated total weight
of a road vehicle that is loaded to capacity, including
the weight of the vehicle itself. Therefore, the maximum
load-carrying capacity of the trailer is the GVWR, less
the weight of the empty trailer. Be sure that the total weight of the boat, engine, gear and
trailer do not exceed the GVWR.
NOTE: e Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (“GVWR”) is the estimated total weight of
a road vehicle that is loaded to capacity, including the weight of the vehicle itself. ere-
fore, the maximum load-carrying capacity of the trailer is the GVWR less the weight of
the empty trailer.
Be especially careful to avoid overloading the trailer by putting heavy baggage, camp-
ing gear, etc. inside the boat.
Do not tow the boat with a water-lled bladder or with water in the ballast tanks. Empty
the contents or the tongue weight will be incorrect. Towing with water-lled bladder(s) may
not only cause the total weight limits for the trailer to be exceeded but may also result in the
improper distribution of the weight on the trailer, thereby making towing dicult and/or caus-
ing instability when towing, which can be very dangerous to the driver, any passengers and to
other motorists.
Do not tow the boat with wakeboards le on the board racks. Doing so may void the war-
ranty and cause damage to the boat or to vehicles following behind, as boards and/or racks
may become disengaged.
Do not tow the boat with wakeboards or
skis in the boat or ski racks. Loose objects
may become disengaged from the trailer
and boat. ese objects may create a haz-
ard for vehicles following behind the tow vehicle which may result in death,
serious injury or property damage.
Loose objects may damage the boat and/or
trailer. Such damage would not be covered
by the warranty.
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.
Weight distribution
Improper weight distribution can cause a boat trailer to fishtail (sway from side to side) as it
moves down the highway, putting excessive strains on both trailer and towing equipment, which
increases gas consumption and may potentially cause an accident. The most effective way to
guard against fishtailing is to make sure the weight load on the trailer is properly distributed.
