CHAPTER 10

It is a good idea to tie another line or secure an extra cable to the winch

stand and boat bow eye as a backup system.

Be certain that your trailer is of rated capacity for the size and weight

of your boat, including the weight for all fuel, water and gear. Your

authorized Regal dealer can advise you on the proper trailer capacity

and tongue weight ( the weight exerted on the rear of your vehicle).

Never use a bumper mounted trailer hitch. Always use a bolted or

welded frame-mounted hitch, class 2 or 3. Consult your Regal dealer

for more information.

Should your trailer be equipped with surge brakes, that is brakes on the

trailer that cut in with a very slight delay when your brakes are applied,

be sure to follow recommended service and maintenance instructions.

Be sure that the trailer master cylinder is ﬁ lled with the recommended

ﬂ uid before towing your boat. Inspect the trailer brake lines for any

leakage. Also, if you notice brake ﬂ uid on the inside of the tires, you

may have a wheel cylinder leaking. Consult a professional.

Never place your hands between the trailer hitch coupling and the hitch

ball on your towing vehicle while hooking up. Be sure the tongue jack

is in the full up position before departure. Be certain safety chains are

crisscrossed and secured; do not allow them to drag on the road.

Be sure to buy a suitable set of tie downs which can be attached to

the boats’ stern eyes and the eyelets provided on most trailers. Tighten

them securely and neatly fold up the extra strap material and secure it

with tape so it doesn’t loosen and dangle on the road.

Check the trailer lug nuts for the proper torque. Use a foot pound

wrench and torque in a star sequence to the correct poundage as

recommended by the trailer manufacturer. Torque the lug nuts at

half the poundage on all nuts. Then set the torque wrench to the full

poundage and fasten to the last foot poundage ﬁ gure.

Check the trailer tires often for voids, excessive wear or out of round

tire conditions. If the trailer seems to vibrate you may have a bad tire

or one that is unbalanced. These wheels can be rebalanced at most

automotive or tire shops. Never pull a boat on a patched tire. Buy a

spare tire and wheel including a hub and wheel bearing assembly. Mount

it on the trailer for speedy installation should a blow out occur.
