The trailer hitch coupler must match the size of
the hitch ball. The correct ball diameter is
marked on the trailer coupler.
SAFETY CHAINS
Safety chains on your boat trailer provide added
insurance that it will not become completely
detached from the towing vehicle. Crisscross
the chains under the trailer tongue (as shown
on Figure 13.1) to prevent the tongue from
dropping to the road if the trailer separates
from the hitch ball. Be sure to leave some slack
when attaching the chains; otherwise, the angle
of the tongue in relation to the tow vehicle can
cause the chains to become too tight when the
tow vehicle is turning. Safety chain should be of
the “Proof Coil” type and must have a minimum
breaking strength equal to the upper limit of the
GVWR. Some states require chains to be locked
so they can’t shake, bounce or vibrate off their
hook.
TRAILERING GUIDELINES
1. Be sure that the rollers or bunks displace a
large amount of hull surface and the boat
and equipment distribute evenly on the
trailer.
2. Make sure your boat is properly tied down
and a safety chain is used.
3. Do not trailer with your boat’s convertible
top or its side and aft curtains up. They can
be severely damaged.
4. Be sure your trailer is equipped with func-
tional tail lights and turn signals as required
by state and federal laws.
5. Check with your state Department of Motor
Vehicles for registration and licensing regu-
lations in your state. Some states require
that boat trailers be registered and licensed.
6. Be aware that a turn for the trailer will be
wider than a turn for the tow vehicle (Figure
13.2). When making a turn, be careful that
your trailer does not strike another vehicle
or object.
7. Inspect your trailer regularly to make sure
the side supports are in good working order.
Check bolts which secure rollers and sup-
