Important Considerations When Renting a Boat Trailer
Updated over 3 weeks ago

Before Driving:

  • Raise the Support Wheel – Ensure the support wheel is fully raised before driving.

  • Check the Trailer Coupler – Make sure the coupler has clicked firmly into place on the towbar.

  • Test the Power Connection – Verify that the power cord is functioning properly so that the turn signals and brake lights work correctly.

  • Adjust Your Driving Style – The vehicle will be significantly longer with a trailer attached, so allow extra space for turns and braking.

  • Monitor the Load Weight – Avoid overloading the trailer to ensure safe handling and compliance with weight limits.

When Launching the Boat:

  • Remove the Light Ramp – If the trailer has a light ramp at the back, remove it before backing into the water.

Safety Precautions:

  • Check the Breakaway Cable – Ensure the trailer’s breakaway cable is not too long, as it could drag on the ground.

  • Release the Trailer Brake – If the trailer has brakes, make sure to release them before driving.

  • Lock the Trailer – When leaving the trailer unattended, always secure it with a lock.
