Table 1: Average Equipment Weight
If selecting a trailer from another manufacturer, check
the load-carrying capacity. Atrailer with a load-carrying
capacity that is too low will be unsafe on the highway
and could cause sudden failure of critical trailer com-
ponents or abnormal tire wear. Atrailer with too high of
a load-carrying capacity that is sprung for heavy loads
can damage a lighter boat.
A. Regulations
Federal law requires that the trailer and tire registration
information be compiled and recorded. The Four
Winns® boat registration card includes trailer registra-
tion information. A trailer tire warranty card included
in the owner’s packet, is to be filled out and re turned
to the tire manufacturer.
NOTICE
DO NOT overload your trailer by placing cam-
ping gear or other heavy equipment in the boat.
DO NOT exceed the GVWR rating. Damage to
the hitch, coupler, or trailer may occur.
