Trailering

Legend Glide-On Trailer
Quality is the reason we choose Shoreland’r as our exclusive supplier for our Legend custom-matched
Glide-On trailers. A high quality trailer means a high quality boating experience from start to finish.
Your Legend Glide-On trailer was specifically designed to hold and transport your boat properly. If you
are uncertain, or have any questions or concerns, your dealer can help you with proper towing vehicle
connections, and help guide and instruct you on how best to maneuver your trailer. Check with local
authorities for registration and licensing regulations in your area.

Your boat trailer must be registered and licensed.

! WARNING

Overloading trailer can lead to frame failure, component failure, or loss of tow vehicle control.
To prevent accidents and injury, total weight of trailer, boat, engines, fuel and gear must not
exceed trailer weight rating.

Weight Distribution
The weight on the trailer should be evenly distributed to ensure the boat remains level. If too much
weight rests on the hitch, the front end of the vehicle will sway or over-steer, while insufficient
tongue weight will cause the trailer to fishtail, making the vehicle increasingly hard and even
dangerous to handle.

Hitch
Hitches are divided into classes according to gross trailer weight and maximum tongue weight.
Always use a hitch with the same class number as the trailer. Most boat trailers connect to a ball
hitch that is bolted or welded to the towing vehicle. Trailer hitches can either be weight-carrying
(adequate for smaller models) or weight-distributing (for heavier models).

Nuts and Bolts
Visually inspect all nuts and bolts for tightness after your first 100 km and tighten if
necessary. This process should be repeated every 300 km.

Important!
Your trailer is for you boat only, and is not to be used for hauling other materials.
