Specifications
Load-Carrying Capacity
Check the metallic certification label attached to the front left side of the
trailer. It will show the maximum load-carrying capacity of the trailer. It will
also show the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). e Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (“GVWR”) is the estimated total weight of a road vehicle that is loaded
to capacity, including the weight of the vehicle itself. erefore, the maximum
load-carrying capacity of the trailer is the GVWR, less the weight of the empty
trailer. Be sure that the total weight of the boat, engine, gear and trailer do not
exceed the GVWR.
Be especially careful to avoid overloading the trailer by putting heavy baggage,
camping gear, etc. inside the boat.
Do not tow the boat with a water-filled bladder for wakeboarding. Empty the
contents or the tongue weight will be incorrect.
Do not tow the boat with
wakeboards left on the board
racks. Doing so may void the
warranty and cause damage to
the boat or to vehicles following
behind, as boards and/or racks
may become disengaged.
Do not tow the boat with wake-
boards or skis in the boat or ski
racks. Doing so may create a
hazard for, or cause damage to,
vehicles following behind the
tow vehicle as the boards and/
or skis may become disengaged
while traveling, possibly result-
ing in damage to the vehicle or boat, which would not be covered by warranty.
Towing with water-lled bladder(s) may not only cause the total weight limits for
the trailer to be exceeded but may also result in the improper distribution of the
weight on the trailer, thereby making towing difcult and/or causing instability
when towing, which can be very dangerous to the driver, any passengers, and to
other motorists. NEVER tow with water in the ballast bladders or tanks!
