Connecting the Trailer
Trailer Alignment
When pulling the boat onto the trailer, be sure that it is centered
on the trailer.
The distance between the boat and the wheel runner board
should be equal on both sides.
When connecting the trailer to your tow vehicle use the
following procedure:
1. Raise the tongue with the trailer jack, position the trailer
tongue directly over the 2" ball, and lower the jack
until the tongue goes all the way down over the ball.
2. Press down on the latch until it locks on the ball with a
“click.”
NOTICE: If your hitch ball has an excessive flat spot on top,
the latch may not engage properly. If the latch does not catch,
check with your dealer or hitch installer before trailering.
3. Insert the locking pin into the tongue. Lock pin hole is
on the side of the tongue.

4. When all weight is off the trailer jack, pull the jack lock
pin and rotate the jack to the horizontal position and
re-lock the pin.
5. Attach the safety cables to the tow vehicle hitch. Cross
the cables and wrap them around each other once or
possibly twice allowing just enough slack to permit tight
turns of the vehicle and trailer.
6. Plug the trailer lights connector to the vehicle harness.
7. Clip the brake lockout cable to the vehicle hitch.
Connecting the Trailer (continued)
The following guidelines will prolong the life of the boat and
trailer:
1.Always secure the boat to the trailer with tie-downs. Do
not place straps around fenders or lights.
2.Always verify that the winch hook is securely in the bow
eye, the strap is tight and the winch handle locked in
place before trailering.
3.Check the recommended pressure displayed on the side
of the tires and assure that it is maintained. Under-inflated
tires could cause trailer sway and excessive tire wear.
4.Before use, please read all information supplied with the
trailer by the manufacturer (Bearing Buddy, Boat Buddy
and hydraulic brake actuator). Check wheel bearing
grease.
5.Before operating Boat Buddy, check trigger setting and
latch pin location. After loading, check latch pin and confirm
that it is properly seated in the eye hook before pulling
trailer out of water. Wash Boat Buddy moving parts with
high pressure water.
6.Check wheel bearing lube.
7.See Trailer Owner Manual for Maintenance Schedule.
Inadvertent release of latch pin could result in injury!
