| Transporting by Road |
Depending on the model you have chosen, you have three (3) alternatives to transport your inflatable:
1. 1. Fold the boat up and put it in your boot/trunk, if of the foldable type.
2. Carry the boat, upside-down, on the roof of the car, for boats under 4 metres (13 feet)
3. Carry the boat on a trailer.
1. When storing the boat inside your boot/trunk:
You must consider the possibility of chafe when the car is moving. Always pack your boat within the supplied carry bag
2. When carrying the boat directly on top of the roof of your car:
There will inevitably be a degree of movement between the boat and the car roof, which can lead to damage. The car’s roof must be in proportion to the length of the boat being carried. A special roof rack is the best solution in avoiding any damage.
Stow the boat upside-down on the roof where its shape will tend to offer
less wind resistance. If carried the right way up there is always a risk
of the boat collecting water if it rains. Always leave the drain plug
out.
WARNING
Beware of chafing. If any lines securing the boat to the car roof or rack rub
against the tube, insert a piece of carpeting (soft side against the tube) so as to avoid damage.
Beware of chafing, when deflated. Do not transport your inflatable upside-down.
CAUTION
When transporting an inflatable on the roof, we
recommend a stop every hour to check the security of the boat and its lashings.
3. Transporting your inflatable on a trailer:
There are several types of trailers available, however the trailer must match the boat’s weight, the hull and the load.
The towing vehicle must have the capability of pulling the load. Pulling a load that exceeds the vehicle’s towing capacity may cause loss of control.
- When choosing your trailer consult your marine dealer.
- Always read the trailer’s owner’s manual carefully before towing.
- Check country, state or local regulations and requirements.
