a very slow speed and try to avoid braking, except when the wheels are straight
ahead and the trailer and tow vehicle are in line.
If the trailer begins to fish-tail under acceleration to highway speed, back off
the accelerator a little, and it should cease. If it begins again upon acceleration,
stop and check the load. If the load is not evenly distributed, or if it is too far
back so that the hitch load becomes too light, the result can be fish-tailing. Re-
distribute the load before continuing.
Launching
Every MasterCraft boat owner develops his or her own favorite launching
technique. Until you do, here are a few helpful tips:
• Check the ramp first. Whether launching from an unimproved or surfaced
ramp, check it out before starting the launch procedure. How steep is it? Is
the surface firm enough to support the weight of the trailer and tow vehicle?
Is it wide enough? How deep is the water at the end of the ramp?
Use great care when walking, standing or loading and unloading boats on or
around any launch ramps as some launch ramps may be slippery when wet.
