If selecting a trailer from another manufacturer, check
the load-carrying capacity. A trailer with a load-carrying
capacity that is too low will be unsafe on the highway
and could cause sudden failure of critical trailer compo-
nents or abnormal tire wear. A trailer with too high of a
load-carrying capacity that is sprung for heavy loads can
damage a lighter boat.
