(bilge pump, blower, stereo, etc.) to work even if the motor is not running. Because of its import role, Supra recommends using a good quality “Marine Dual Purpose” battery. The “Dual Purpose” rating means that it can provide the cranking Amps needed to start your motor, yet it also has an Amp hour discharge rating so it can handle low electrical drawdown cycle.
Page 57: Cleaning, Care & Storage
Fiberglass Care Washing and waxing the boat hull and deck regularly will extend the life and beauty of your Supra. It is a good routine to rinse your boat with fresh water after each day’s use. It is recommended that the hull and deck be cleaned and waxed after every 25 hours of use.
Page 58: Upholstery Care
(See Washing Instructions). Boat Hull Protection If your Supra is to remain in the water for an extended period, the hull below the water line should be painted with a marine bottom paint. Boats left in the water for extended periods of time without bottom paint may experience blilstering or discolorization.
Page 59: Winterization & Dry Storage
It is extremely important to follow the proper winterizing procedure. The engine must be correctly winterized for safe storage in your climate. This should be done by a professional. Your Supra dealer will know exactly what must be done to ensure the longest possible life for your boat.
Page 60 DO NOT use the ski pylon to hoist the boat. Incorrect hoisting may invalidate the warranty on the boat. Use only a proper sized sling in the designated lifting rings to hoist the boat. SUPRA - 60 © 2005 Skier’s Choice, Inc.

Page 63: Trailer Your Boat
Read the trailer towing section of your vehicle owner’s manual before towing your trailer. All Supra trailers require a 2” ball and a five (5) pin marine grade trailer wiring connector. The standard height from the ground to the top of the hitch ball should be about 20 inches.
Page 64: Trailer Alignment
When pulling the boat onto the trailer, be sure that it is centered on the trailer. Incorrect Alignment The distance between the boat and the wheel runner board should be equal on both sides. SUPRA - 64 © 2005 Skier’s Choice, Inc.
Page 65: Unloading Procedure
Should the vehicle slip into the water, the driver can escape through open window. NOTE: Because your Supra is a direct drive inboard, when backing up, the stern will have a tendency to drift left or right depending on propeller rotation.
Page 66: Boat Buddy
Boat Buddy Your Supra trailers come standard with a trailer Boat Buddy. This featue makes loading your boat on the trailer much easier. Loading Place the trigger inthe “SET” position. When the bow eye contacts the Boat Buddy, the pin will latch, securing the boat.
