9.8 Trailering Your Boat

If you trailer your boat, make sure that your tow vehicle is capable of towing the weight of the trailer,

boat and equipment and the weight of the passengers and equipment inside the vehicle. This may

require that the tow vehicle be specially equipped with a larger engine, transmission, brakes and

trailer tow package.

The boat trailer is an important part of your boating package. The trailer should be matched to your

boat's weight and hull. Using a trailer with a capacity too low will be unsafe on the road and cause

abnormal wear. A trailer with a capacity too high, can damage the boat. Contact your dealer to

evaluate your towing vehicle and hitch, and to make sure you have the correct trailer for your boat.

Important Note:

Your Pursuit is a heavy boat and care must be taken when selecting the trailer. We

recommend that you use a bunk style trailer that incorporates a combination of heavy duty

rollers, to support the keel and long bunks running under and parallel to the stringers to

support the hull. Avoid using a full roller trailer that does not have bunks. Roller trailers

have a tendency to put extreme pressure points on the hull, especially on the lifting strakes,

and have damaged boats. The situation is worse during launching and haul out. Damage

resulting from improper trailer support or the use of a full roller trailer will not be covered

by the Pursuit Warranty.

The following safety tips and a book titled “You and Your Trailer,” included in your literature

packet, provide additional information you should know before trailering your boat.

Note: Contact your dealer to evaluate your towing vehicle and hitch, and to make sure you

have the correct trailer for your boat.

• Make sure the trailer is a match for your boat’s weight and hull design. More damage can be

done to a boat by the stresses of road travel than by normal water operation. A boat hull is

designed to be supported evenly by water. So, when it is transported on a trailer it should be

supported structurally as evenly across the hull as possible allowing for even distribution of the

weight of the hull, engine and equipment.

• Make sure the trailer bunks and rollers properly support the hull and do not put pressure on the

lifting strakes. The rollers and bunks must be kept in good condition to prevent scratching and

gouging of the hull.

• The capacity rating of the trailer should be greater than the combined weight of the boat, motor,

and equipment. The gross vehicle weight rating must be shown on the trailer. Make sure the

weight of the boat, engine, gear and trailer is not more than the gross vehicle weight rating.
