How far should you back a boat trailer into the water?

It should be just about as deep as it was when taking the boat off, and in most cases, about two-thirds of the trailer will be submerged while one-third remains out of the water. Don't submerge the trailer too deep, or the bow of the boat may float over the bunks and go off to the side.

How much of the bunks or rollers are submerged?

Back the trailer into the water so that approximately two-thirds of the rollers or bunks are submerged in the water.

How far back should a boat sit on a trailer?

Set boat on trailer while maintaining no less than 2" gap between keel and tongue plate cover. The end of the bunks/rollers should be flush with transom and the boweye should reach the winch post. If this is so, the rear pivot should remain in the A-position.

What minimum distance must be maintained?

Do not approach within 100 yards and slow to minimum speed within 500 yards of any U.S. Naval vessel. If you need to pass within 100 yards of a U.S. Naval vessel for safe passage, you must contact the U.S. Naval vessel or the USCG escort vessel on VHF-FM channel 16. Observe and avoid all security zones.

How do you trailer a long distance boat?

Secure your boat to the trailer with transom and mid-point straps. These will keep the boat from bouncing around on the trailer, and they are required in many states. One very common mistake people make is to fill the boat with gas before trailering a long distance.

How much overhang should a boat trailer have?

Only the trailerable boat (not the trailer) can exceed 3.7 m in rear overhang. The rear overhang (boat only) measured from the centre of the trailer axle or axle group to the rearmost point of the boat (including the horizontal mast) carried on the trailer, shall not exceed 5 m.

How does transom saver work?

The transom saver is a device that protects your boat's transom from stress or eventual damage from forces exerted on it by the weight of the outboard while you are trailering it. ... The transom saver connects to the trailer's rear cross, absorbing stress for the engine bracket and transom.
