Specifications

Try out your brakes before each trip. On a regular basis, have your
brake linings inspected, necessary adjustments made and any damaged
or worn parts replaced.
Wet brakes usually do not hold especially well. If your wheels have
been in water, several brake applications at slow speeds should dry
them out.
Trailer Jack
MasterCraft recommends using the trailer jack to lift the coupling of
trailer jack
a loaded trailer from the hitch ball, and
for moving the trailer about when it is dis-
connected from the towing vehicle. Rotate
the trailer jack to the vertical position and
engage the locking pin before placing a
load on the trailer jack.
Like any mechanical assembly, the trail-
er jack requires maintenance to function
properly. The drive gear and the rack-
and-pinion should be greased, and the
caster and wheel bearings should be oiled
frequently. Failure to swing up the trailer
jack before towing may result in damage
to your trailer.
Tie-Downs
Ensuring that your Master-
Craft boat is held securely in
place on the trailer’s hull sup-
port, especially when under-
way, is extremely important.
If it is not rmly and prop-
erly secured, your boat can
be damaged as it bounces
against the hull supports.
MasterCraft’s Boat Buddy
System is located on the winch stand. Ask your MasterCraft dealer to
demonstrate the proper use of the Boat Buddy System. A separate
winch strap is provided and should be attached to secure the boat to
the bow stop.
Also, it is very important to be sure that the transom of your MasterCraft
boat is resting fully and securely on the supports provided at the rear end
of the trailer, and that it remains in place when parked or underway.
