level is approximately 1 inch below the top of the trailer fenders.
NOTICE: Ramp slopes vary, so actual level of water on trailer
Ramp slopes vary, so actual level of water on trailer
may be different.
3. Follow the cold start procedure recommended in this manual.
4. After starting the engine, remove Bow Eye Hook.
5. With engine idling, center steering wheel, engage transmission and slowly pull throttle into reverse. Ease
back on the throttle lever until the boat starts to move.
NOTE: DO NOT attempt to use excessive power to free the boat from dry carpet runners. Power off of the trailer
only when the boat has fl oated free.
If the trailer is not submerged to the correct depth, the bow of the boat could drop when powering off incor-
rectly, possibly damaging the boat.
Roll all windows of tow vehicle down prior to backing down ramp. Should the vehicle slip into the water, the
driver can escape through an open window.
NOTE: Because your Supra is a true inboard, when backing up, the stern will have a tendency to drift due to
prop rotation.
Loading Procedure
To load the boat on the trailer, position the trailer in the water with approximately 1 inch of the top of the fender
showing.
1.
Idle/coast the boat onto the trailer using as little power as possible, while keeping it centered between the
guide poles.
2. Power slowly forward until the bow eye roller contacts. If it will not reach the roller with low power, position
the trailer slightly deeper in the water.
3. Winch hook must be attached to bow eye and tightened before trailering.
4. Secure the safety strap to the bow eye once the winch hook is tightened.
5. Confi rm that all ballast are empty before pulling out of the water.
DO NOT Power onto the trailer during rough conditions! Once correctly positioned on the trailer, switch
off ignition.
DO NOT OVER-POWER onto trailer or damage may occur to the boat and/or the trailer!.
The trailer must be positioned for the correct water depth for loading or you may damage the boat. Vary-
ing ramp angles require different procedures. In general, the steeper the ramp, the more shallow the trail-
er should be positioned in the water. Your local dealer can help you understand this, should you require
additional assistance.
