Backing Your Trailer - Yamaha AR210 2020 Owner's/Operator's Manual

Secure the bow of the boat to the trailer

with the winch line and also with the chain.
Secure the stern eyes to the trailer with tie-
downs.
1 Bow eye

1 Stern eye
 Take down and store the bimini top, if
used. The bimini top is not designed to stay
unsecured on the boat at highway speeds.
(See page 115 or 119.)
TIP:
During transport, use a boat cover to prevent
any items from blowing out of the boat, or
make sure to store any items inside the stor-
age compartments and securely close the
compartments.
Be sure the access port caps are properly

installed (see page 182 for more informa-
tion) and the rear platform hatch is closed
securely.

Be sure any cargo that must be carried in

the boat as well as the folding windshield
and all hatches are secured. A durable,
properly fitting cover, such as the genuine
Yamaha cover available from your Yamaha
Boat Dealer designed specifically for your
boat, is highly recommended to help pro-
tect your boat during transport and stor-
age.
Carry a spare tire for the trailer, along with

sufficient tools to change the tire.
While traveling, check the wheel hubs on

the trailer whenever you park. If a hub feels
abnormally hot, have the bearing inspected
before continuing your trip. On longer trips,
it is a good idea to carry a set of spare
wheel bearings, seals, and races.
 When making a turn, do not cut corners.
The trailer has a smaller turning circle, so it
turns more sharply around the corner than
the towing vehicle.

Backing your trailer

It takes practice to back a trailer successfully.
If you are not familiar backing up with a trailer,
practice first in an open area away from ob-
stacles.
