Tips

For easier release on the ramp, put boat in forward gear or keep winch strap tight while lifting Ramp-N-Clamp handle.

Coating the Ramp-N-Clamp cover with Super Lube, Silicone spray or Liquid Rollers is considered proper maintenance and will also assist loading and unloading the boat.

If boat rocks back and forth on trailer while towing raise the winch post uprights or add tie down straps to trailer to prevent rocking. An ill-fitting trailer will cause wear that is not covered under the warranty.

Winch strap must be used and JUST FIRM while towing. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN This prevents wear to bow eye that is not covered under warranty. Maximum boat weight 6500 lbs.
