Appendix E Trailering - Chris-Craft Lancer 20 Owner's Manual

APPENDIX E
A
properly selected trailer supports the boat, makes towing safer, and loading and unloading easier.
Improper trailering can cause serious traffic accidents and is a major cause of boat damage. It is your
responsibility to familiarize yourself with proper towing procedures before towing your boat on the road.
When selecting a trailer keep the following in mind:
• Trailer must match the boat and load.
• Check the requirements for brakes, lights, emergency breakaway system, and registration in your area.
• The towing vehicle must have adequate power, cooling, transmission, tires, brakes, wheelbase, and suspension
to tow the boat.
• The boat and trailer must not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating and towing capacity of the towing vehicle.
