Trailer Tips and Techniques

With a boat trailer in tow, an operator

will be driving down the road with a vehi-

cle combination that is longer, heavier and

sometimes wider and taller than the tow ve-

hicle. This means the operator should make

a few adjustments to normal driving prac-

tices to compensate for the differences.

Here are a few tips:

• Use common sense. MasterCraft can-

generalsituations,butitisuptothein-

dividualdrivertoactorreactasagiven

situationrequires.

• Take a shakedown cruise. Before mak-

ing the rst major trip or rst trip to the

lake with a MasterCraft trailer, make at

least one short trial run to become famil-

iar with its handling characteristics. Be

sure everything is working properly.

• Slow down. There is less strain on the

tow vehicle, trailer and boat at moderate

to slow speeds. Also, many states have

lower speed limits for vehicles tow-

ing trailers. Driving at moderate speeds

will place less strain the tow vehicle and

the trailer. Trailer instability (sway) is

more likely to occur as speed increases.

Particular attention needs to be given

to slowing when traveling over bumpy

roads and railroad crossings.

• Allow extra time and space. You’ll

need more of both when passing and

stopping.

• Avoid sudden steering maneuvers.

These may create sway or undue side

force on the trailer. To control swaying

caused by air pressure changes and wind

buffeting when larger vehicles pass from

either direction, release the accelerator

pedal to slow down. Keep a rm grip on

the steering wheel.

• Allow considerably more distance for

stopping than you would if driving the

tow vehicle without the trailer. There

is considerably more weight to be ma-

neuvered, and even though your trailer

is equipped with a braking system, it is

highly likely that additional room will

be needed in order to execute slowing or

full stops.

• Check the rear view mirrors. If not al-

ready equipped with them, install outside

rear view mirrors on both sides of the tow

vehicle. Make it a habit to check the mir-

over the hitch ball and lower the trailer

with the trailer jack until it is all the way

down onto the hitch ball.

• Check under the coupling to be certain

that the ball clamp is below the ball and

not riding on top of the ball.

• Lock the coupler to the hitch ball. To

conrm that the coupler is locked onto

the hitch ball, lift up on the trailer jack.

If the trailer jack comes loose from the

hitch ball, unlock and go back to the

third step above.

• Be certain that the trailer jack is in the

fully raised and locked position.

• Attach the surge break-away cable to the

tow vehicle, making sure there is enough

slack for tight turns.

• Attach the safety cables.

• Connect the

trailer’s seven-

wire connector

to the seven-

wire connec-

tor of the tow

vehicle and

check the op-

eration of the

lights.
