avoid damaging
Check the applicable laws and regula-
tions in your area concerning towing a
trailer, especially the following rules:
– brake system
– tow vehicle weight
– mirrors.
Take the following precautions when
towing the watercraft:
Tie the watercraft to both front and
rear (bow/stern) eyelets so that it is
firmly retained on the trailer. Use ad-
ditional tie-downs if necessary.
CAUTION: Do not route ropes or
tie-downs over the seat or grab han-
dle as they could produce perma-
nent damage. Wrap ropes or tie-
downs with rags or similar protec-
tors where they can touch the wa-
tercraft body.
Ensure all storage compartment cov-
ers and seat are properly latched.
WARNING
Make sure seat is securely latched
before prior to trailering.

When trailering the watercraft,
NEVER leave a wakeboard in-
stalled on the rack. Otherwise,
wakeboard fin(s) could cause in-
jury to bystanders or wakeboard

sion and could spring back and
whip someone when released.
Use caution.
