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