Stern Drive Trim Cylinder Trailering Clips Usage Guide

Purpose:

Stern Drive Trim Cylinder Trailering Clips are designed to protect your stern drive unit while trailering or storing your boat. These clips help transfer the weight of the stern drive from the hydraulic cylinders to the transom bracket, reducing strain on the hydraulic system and preventing potential damage.

Installation Steps:

1. Preparation: Ensure the boat is out of the water and securely on a trailer. Trim the outdrive up to its trailering position using the boat's trim controls. Confirm the engine model from the stern drive nameplate. Follow the cutting instructions provided with the product to trim the Stern Drive Trim Cylinder Trailering Clips for proper fitment.
2. Attaching the Clips: Locate the hydraulic rams on your stern drive. Snap the trailering clips onto the hydraulic rams. Ensure they are firmly in place, providing support to the stern drive unit.
3. Securing the Clips: Double-check that both clips are securely fastened and supporting the weight of the stern drive. Verify the stern drive is stable and not exerting pressure on the hydraulic system.
4. Before Launching: Remove the trailering clips before launching your boat into the water. Store the clips in a safe place for future use.

Maintenance Tips:

• Regularly inspect the clips for any signs of wear or damage.
• Clean the clips after each use to remove any salt, dirt, or debris that may have accumulated.
• Store the clips in a dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent UV damage.

These clips are made from durable materials resistant to UV rays, gasoline, oil, and other marine chemicals, ensuring longevity and reliable performance.
