Unloading Procedure<br />
Loading Procedure<br />
NOTICE: DO NOT attempt to use excessive power to<br />
free the boat from dry carpet runners. Power off of the<br />
trailer only when the boat has floated free.<br />
If the trailer is not submerged to the correct depth, the<br />
bow of the boat could drop when powering off incorrectly,<br />
possibly damaging the boat.<br />
NOTICE: Before operating your <strong>Moomba</strong>, refer to the<br />
Daily Check List and the Boatman’s Check List.<br />
To unload the boat use the following procedure as a<br />
guide:<br />
1. Make sure that all drain plugs are securely in<br />
place.<br />
2. Unplug light cord before backing into the water.<br />
3. With Bow Eye Hook fastened, back the trailer until<br />
the water level is approximately one inch below the<br />
top of the trailer fenders.<br />
To re-trailer the boat, position the trailer in the water with<br />
approximately 1 inch of the top of the fender showing as in<br />
step 3. UNLOADING.<br />
Idle/coast the boat onto the trailer using as little power as<br />
possible keeping it centered between the guide poles.<br />
NOTE: DO NOT Power onto the trailer during rough<br />
conditions.<br />
When correctly positioned on the trailer turn off ignition.<br />
Use the Hook and Trailer Winch to pull the boat up to the<br />
Roller Stop.<br />
The trailer must be positioned for the correct water<br />
depth for loading or you may damage the boat. Varying<br />
ramp angles require different procedures. In general,<br />
the steeper the ramp, the more shallow the trailer<br />
should be positioned in the water. Your local dealer<br />
can help you understand this, should you require<br />
additional assistance.<br />
NOTE: Ramp slopes vary, so actual level of water<br />
on trailer may be different.<br />
Make sure that the engine water intake is fully<br />
submerged.<br />
4. Follow the cold start procedure recommended in this<br />
manual.<br />
5. With engine idling, center the steering wheel,<br />
engage the transmission into reverse (pull back on<br />
lever,) then ease back on the throttle.<br />
NOTE: Because your <strong>Moomba</strong> is a direct drive inboard,<br />
when backing the stern will have a tendency to drift left or<br />
right depending on propeller rotation. This condition will<br />
self-correct as the rudder reaches control speed.<br />
