L.12 Recovering
the Boat
When finished with boat operations, use the following procedures to recover the
boat:
Step Procedure
1 Using a spotter, carefully back trailer down the ramp until
approximately three-quarters of the trailer is submerged.
2 Align the center of the boat with the center of the trailer and
carefully maneuver the boat onto the trailer. Check water level in
the vicinity of the trailer and trim engines up or secure as
needed.
3 Attach trailer winch to bow of boat and pull boat forward onto the
trailer until 1 to 2 inches of space remains between the bow and
the bow stops. Always ensure boat stays centered on trailer.
4 Attach strap from the trailer to trailer eyebolt.
5 Secure engines on boat (if still running).
6 Slowly pull the tow vehicle forward until the trailer is clear of the
water.
7 Attach all tie-down straps securing the boat to the trailer.
8 Connect trailer-wiring harness to tow vehicle and ensure lights are
operating properly.
9 Do a complete visual inspection of the tow vehicle, trailer, and
boat before transiting on highway.
After launching or recovering the boat, always rinse down the trailer with fresh water
and check the trailer lights for proper operation.
During recovery, ensure 1 to 2 inches of space remains between the bow and the bow
stops. This will ensure proper loading and weight distribution.
Always use a spotter when backing a trailer! Windows should be open and radio
should be off.
