Securing Outboard When Trailering
Use outboard support bar if engine must be tilted up for ground clearance. Outboard
tilt support lever is not intended to support the engine when trailering.
Place outboard in vertical operating positron if ground clearance is adequate.
If additional ground clearance is needed, use an outboard support bar to secure
engine. Do not rely on tilt support lever for trailering.
Shift outboard to forward gear to prevent propeller from spinning freely in wind while
vehicle is moving.
See engine operator´s manual for other precautions and instructions related to
trailering.
Securing Boat to Trailer
Use adequate tie downs for load and trip conditions.
Attach bow to trailer with safety Chin or U-bolt. Winch line should be tight, but do not
rely on winch line to fasten bow to trailer.
Use at least two nylon web tie-downs to secure transom to trailer.
Add tie-downs on side of boat if load or road conditions require. Place side tie-downs
near the stern where most of the boat´s weight is located.
Pad tie-downs where they contact the boat to prevent damage to the paint.
If boat cover is used, ensure drawstring is drawn tight. Add ropes if necessary.
Stow any loose gear whether or not you use a boat cover.
NOTICE!
CAUTION!
