Trailer transport

The Yamarin boats are easy boats to trailer. However, make sure that the trailer suits your
boat, in other words, that it has sufficient number of supports to decrease point loads, that its
capacity is sufficient for the boat, engine and accessories etc. The maximum gross trailer load
is given in your car's registration certificate.
The keel supports of the trailer should carry most of the boat weight. Adjust the supports on
each side so that the boat cannot sway sideways. The approximate location of the supports is
shown in your boat model figure.
Clean the supports from sand and dirt so that they do not scratch the bottom of the hull. Check
once more that the trailer hitch is properly locked!
The hoisting place should be sheltered and the slipway long enough. The trailer should be
backed into the water until the rearmost keel support is just below water surface. Drive the
boat's bow slowly against the rearmost keel support. Attach the winch wire rope to the towing
eye and pull the boat onto the trailer while checking that the boat is aligned with the trailer
centre line.
Tie the boat firmly down to the trailer before transportation. A safety rope at bow must be
directed forward and downward. Aft movement shall be prevented by a line over the boat, as
shown in your boat models figure. Do not leave any loose accessories or extra load in the boat
during transport.
Remove seat cushions and close all hatches properly.
During transportation, the engine should be kept in driving position. Make sure, however, that
there is sufficient ground clearance. If the ground clearance is too small, the engine can be
tilted up during transport. In that case it must be supported in some way in order to protect the
transom.
If boat is kept on trailer between transportations, lines must be loosen during storage and
tighten before transportation.
