Chapter 10
Excessive throttle can cause the boat to travel over the bumper
board causing extensive damage to the boat, trailer, and car
and could cause severe personal injury.
4. Using a very light touch on the throttle, ease the boat forward until the
bow comes to rest against the bow stop (bumper board).
The winch bow strap is merely a means of securing the boat to
the trailer and is not intended to winch or pull the boat onto the
trailer. Winching the boat onto the trailer could cause severe
injury.
5. Attach and tighten the winch bow strap.
6. Pull the trailer up the ramp and attach any additional tie-downs and
connect the trailer light harness.
7. Pull drain plug.
