Also, it is very important to be sure that the transom of the MasterCraft boat is resting fully
and securely on the supports provided at the rear end of the trailer, and that it remains in
place when parked or underway.
Tie-downs have been added on both the bow and transom of the boat and must be
used while trailering.

When hitching the trailer up, al-
ways observe each item on the
Trailer Checklist, found in this
Manual. Hitching the trailer to the
tow vehicle may be performed by
just one person, but it is definitely
easier with a second person to
help guide.
Here are the basic steps to hitch up to the trailer:

than pulling the trailer to the car or truck.

the hitch ball.
