We are a registered member of the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA).  All trailers are designed and built to meet NMMA certification.

SAFETY CHAINS

Towing
Your trailer has two towing safety chains or cables, which are bolted at different locations to your trailer.  When hitching up your trailer do not connect the safety chains in the same location.  Fasten separately to your hitch per the manufacturers instructions.

Bow
Bow safety chain is an added safety feature.  We highly recommend that you use it.  After sliding the "S" hook through our boat's bow eye, adjust the chain as tight as possible by securing it at the "Key Hole" on your winch stand.

Do not depend only on your winch line to secure your boat.
(ALWAYS TIE BOAT DOWN)

WIRE COLOR CODE AND LIGHTS

The following wire color code function is used:

1. White wire - ground.
2. Yellow and brown wires - travel the left side of the trailer.
3. Green and brown wires - travel the right side of the trailer.
4. Yellow wire - left stop and turn signal lights.
5. Brown wire - tail lights, clearance and marker lights.
6. Green wire - right stop and turn signal lights.

Towing vehicles equipped with four wire tail light systems, must use a (4) to a (3) wire converter.

Tail lights and marker lights on most models are water-resistant. These lights are designed to protect both the bulbs and the contacts when the trailer is submersed.

To avoid trouble with your lighting system, we recommend the following:

1. Be sure your vehicle is equipped with the proper lighting connections, thus avoiding overloading circuits.
2. Once a year, remove light lenses and spray metal components with WD40 or apply a light coating of petroleum jelly.
3. Carry spare light bulbs. Tail Light - Bulb #11.57, Marker Light - Bulb #194, 3 Light Rear Bar - Bulb #L1895 
    
   WINCHES

Most trailers are equipped with a hand winch designed for long life and trouble free launching and loading.  Periodically, the gears of your winch should be lubricated with an all-purpose grease.

Check the winch strap or cable for cuts or frayed fibers on a regular basis.  If they show sign of wear, replace immediately.

For trailers equipped with an electric winch, refer to the owner's manual supplied by the manufacturer of the winch.

SECURING YOUR BOAT FOR TRAILERING

Tie down your boat securely at the stern, with either belly type straps, tie downs or with a good line.

Use your bow safety chain. Again, remember not to depend on your winch line alone to secure your boat.

Please be certain that the bow is resting snuggly on the bow rollers.

ALL BOLTS AND NUTS

After you purchase your trailer, (and on a regular basis), double check all bolts and nuts for tightness.
