The Hook Up (Boat + Trailer)

Getting your boat from the driveway to the dock should not be stressful. Whether you’re brand new to trailering or just want a quick refresher, knowing how to properly hook up your boat to your tow vehicle is a must for a safe and smooth start to any fishing trip.

In the video below, I will walk you through each step of hooking up your boat. I’ll break it down as simply as possible. From lining up the hitch and securing the pull-away chain to checking lights, and final safety points. I’ll demonstrate exactly what needs to be done before you hit the road.

Double-check your steps, and as long as everything is properly secured the right way you are then ready to get hooked up on the water.
