The total weight of your boat, engine, fuel, water
and gear must not exceed the trailer’s maximum
load-carrying capacity. Overloading can cause serious
injury or property damage. NOTE: Maximum load-
carrying capacity is the Gross Vehicle Weight Rate
(“GVWR”), less the weight of the empty trailer.
Load-Carry Capacity
Check the metallic certification label attached to the left, for-
ward side of your trailer. It will show the maximum load-carrying
capacity of the trailer. It will also show the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR), which is the load-carrying capacity plus the weight
of the trailer itself. Be sure that the total weight of your boat,
engine, gear and trailer do not exceed the GVWR.
Be especially careful to avoid overloading your trailer by putting
heavy baggage, camping gear, etc., inside the boat.
Don’t tow the boat with a water-filled bladder for wakeboarding.
Empty the contents or the tongue weight will be incorrect.
Don’t tow the boat with wakeboards left on the board racks.
Doing so may void your warranty and cause damage to your boat
or to vehicles following behind you as boards and/or racks may
become disengaged.
Trying to tow with water-filled bladder(s) may not only
cause the total weight limits for the trailer to be exceeded
but may also result in the improper distribution of the
weight on the trailer thereby making towing difficult
and/or causing instability when towing, which can be
very dangerous to you and to other motorists. You should
NEVER tow with water in the ballast bladders or tanks!
