New Trailer Owner Guide

Your first days with your new trailer, step by step: adjust it to your boat, protect your 2 year warranty, and register it at the tag agency.

Phase 01

Initial Mechanical Setup

01
02

Adjust Everything to Your Boat

Grease Friction Points

Our trailers are sold in a standard configuration, so adjust bunks, bow stop, winch stand, and guides to your boat's measurements. Adjustable parts intentionally do not use nylon lock nuts, so they can be adjusted and re-adjusted.

Grease the jack, coupler, and winch with marine grade grease: these parts suffer metal on metal friction.

Phase 02

Your new trailer settles under its new weight. Retighten it twice.

Before Your First Trip

After Your First Trips

After positioning the boat, retighten all hardware.

After your first trip to the ramp, and before your second, retighten everything once more: on a new trailer, all parts settle under the new weight.
