Trailering - Ockelbo B21 CAB Owner's Manual

NOTE
The deck drains provide self-bailing capabilities while the boat is static in the water. This
prevents accumulation of water on the bow and stern deck, for instance, generated by rain.
Make sure the inlets and outlets are free from debris and ice.

RAILERING
Ockelbo do not offer a specific boat trailer for this boat. Your dealer can recommend or
sell you a suitable trailer. Before placing your boat onto any trailer (or other support),
make sure that it is designed for your boat weight and its shape.
 The trailer should have a bow rest, centre keel rollers and a keel guards/wobble
rollers which distributes the weight properly, offering good support for the keel
and hull in both vertical and horizontal direction. Adjust the side supports so that
the maximum boat weight rests on the keel supports and the side supports only
offer lateral support.
 The mass of your boat in trailering condition is stated in chapter 3.1. It includes
the weight of the maximum size engine and a fully optioned boat along with full
liquid loads. This does not include luggage/gear weight, any crew or water inside
the boat. Always remove any unnecessary weight such as loose accessories and
luggage from the boat and drain the bilge water before trailering.
 Refer to the engine manual for any specific instructions on trailering, such as the
best engine position and securing method.
 Make sure you secure all loose items in the boat. Do not use any canopy, boat
covers or other similar top or cover on the boat during trailering. These can
become detached at high speeds and damage the boat and cause a danger to
traffic.
 Always secure the boat to the trailer using suitable straps attached to boat cleats
and trailer strong points. Be careful to not damage the boat fenders. Apply cloths
between fenders and straps; do not tighten straps so hard that fenders are
deformed. If possible, try to fasten straps in an angle as shown in the figure
below.
