CHAPTER 10

Check the trailer harness often for signs of fraying. Check the harness

connector for corrosion. Make sure the trailer harness when connected

to the trailer has enough slack for turning

Check the wheel bearings for wear periodically by a professional. On

most trailers, there is a zerk ﬁ tting on the wheel hub to add the proper

lubricant to the wheel bearing with a grease gun. These wheel bearing

waterproof covers for the bearings can be purchased at retail outlets.

Be sure everything is secured in the boat and canvas is down in the

towing position with the bimini stored in the boot. Tilt the stern drive

up to clear the road and any bumps that might occur while in transit.

DRIVING

Practice maneuvering the vehicle and trailer in a large, empty parking

lot or open space. If you practice slowly and cautiously, you will soon

develop a feel for maneuvering the trailer .

Test your vehicle and trailer brakes before departure along with the

lights. Pack a tool kit with extra bulbs, fuses and ﬂ uids.

Drive as smoothly as possible, anticipating your stops and giving

yourself plenty of room for turning and stopping. Avoid any quick

turns or sudden jerks of the steering wheel.

Remember to maintain safe speed limits. It takes longer to stop your

loaded boat. Allow enough room to the front in bad weather.

Keep an eye on your rig through the rear view and side mirrors. If

your rear view mirror is obstructed, purchase a set of side mirrors

that extend out over the side of the vehicle for increased visibility. In

addition, it is a good idea to install a set of round mirrors to the side

mirrors as they help identify blind spots.

Plan to stop periodically on your way to check the trailer hitch for

tightness, harness connector, tires and wheel bearings. Also, check to

make sure the cockpit cover is secure and the load is balanced.
