Quick Tips
Here are some quick tips for maintaining your trailer in tip-top condition.
• Chips in the paint, especially on the axles and frame result when
these surfaces are subjected to repeated or severe hits by exter-
nal objects. Usually, these are gravel or asphalt chips thrown up
by the rear tires of the tow vehicle. Over time, rust may develop
where paint has been chipped away and this is not covered by
the Limited Warranty for the trailer. To avoid this, consider attach-
ing mud aps behind the tow vehicle’s rear tires. Exceptional care
should be taken to travel as slowly as practical when traveling on
gravel or other loose surfaces.
quick tips
• To ensure proper op-
eration of the trailer
jack, wipe it down and
lubricate it on a regular
basis.
• If the trailer is backed
into salt water, you must
completely and thor-
oughly wash the trailer
to retard rusting. Salt
water is very corrosive,
even on galvanized trailers and can corrode the brake system as
well. Exposure to salt water can also cause brake pads to stick
and malfunction.
• Check the braking system in the spring and again in the fall, along
with the wheel bearings. If you nd anything that appears to be
worn, take the trailer to your MasterCraft dealer for a check and
possible repair.
• Tow vehicles must always approach the trailer slowly as you pre-
pare to load your boat. This will allow you to retain greater con-
trol. Hard impact with the trailer or improper alignment on the
trailer can result in damage to the boat, the trailer or both, and
this is not covered under warranty. Also, if your trailer is equipped
with the Boat Buddy System, a hard hit against it could cause
damage, which is also not covered by warranty.
• The tow vehicle must have a seven-wire connector in order for
disc brakes and the trailer lights to function properly. It is im-
portant to properly connect the seven-wire connector on the
trailer to the seven-wire connector on the tow vehicle.
