in your boat for future reference.

It is very important to take special precautions to avoid spillage while fueling your boat. Gasoline vapors are
heavier than air and will develop in the lower cavities of the boat, such as, the bilge.
Below is a list of some guidelines you should follow when fueling your boat:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Extinguish all cigarettes, pipes, stoves, and other flame or spark producing items.
Make sure all power is off and do not operate any electrical switches.
Be sure to wipe off any spillage that may have occurred.
Operate the bilge blower for a minimum of four minutes before starting the engine.

The information contained in this section on trailering describes procedures used by many boaters. We
recommend, however, that you always follow the specific information provided by the manufacturer of your
trailer.
/RDG&DUU\LQJ&DSDFLW\
The certification label attached by the manufacturer on the left forward side of the trailer will show the
maximum load carrying capacity of the trailer. The label is required to show the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR), which is the load carrying capacity plus the weight of the trailer itself. Be sure that the total
weight of your boat, gear, and trailer do not exceed the GVWR.
Consult your trailer dealer for other state regulations concerning brakes, lighting, and other equipment
options.

Insuring that your boat is held securely in place on the trailer's hull supports, especially when underway, is
extremely important. Regardless of your trailer's make or model, there are two key areas to consider:
Bow Tie-Downs
A bow stop to hold the front of your boat in place is located on the winch stand. It
should be positioned so that the winch line pulls straight and is parallel to the trailer
frame. A separate tie-down should then be attached to hold the boat downward
and forward. This may be accomplished by a line from the boat's bow eye to an
attachment point on the trailer frame or winch stand.
Rear Tie-Downs
It is very important to be sure that the transom of your 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. Special rear tie-downs are available for this
purpose. Check often to be sure the rear tie-downs are securely locked in place
and that they are tight enough to prevent any movement of the boat.
