BOATING 101 | How to hook up a trailer

[@480brad]

I honestly appreciate you taking time to make this video. I am getting my 2021 Axis T23 next week. I did not grow up boating so these videos are soooooo helpful! Subscribed!

Very good video. All stuff I know and do but no one should ever be too proud to see if they can learn something.

[@SkydiverTilt]

This series is perfect! I’m watching them religiously prior to getting my first boat (2017 Axis T22)...thanks for making them ALL!

[@ChantelBoats]

great boat. Great. Boat.

[@pole_barn_builder]

How are you liking it?

[@TheFishingMommy]

Great video, thank you! Also, that’s the nicest trailer I’ve ever seen 😍

[@xL3G11TX3L11T3x]

Great tip about the trailer e brake lanyard. I've been boating for a few years, but just picked up an 13 axis on a boat mate trailer and I didn't know that was the purpose of it.

[@ChantelBoats]

Great! I'm glad I could help! And congrats on the new boat!

[@retailtuesday3517]

Been binge watching ur videos!!! please come back and make more content!

[@michaelking42]

Awesome video thank you, this is just what I was looking for, as a soon to be new boater.

[@kevinshea5819]

Great video. Thanks. Very well done. I'm looking to buy a boat next summer. I have launched jetskis but obviously a whole different ball game. Thanks again.

Thanks Chantel. Very informative. I will be checking out more of your videos for help.

Super informative! Thank you

[@zenchemist]

Thanks for making these videos 👍 👍 new boater and I really learned a lot from them!!

[@wyattwelch8590]

When not on the hitch do you use a hitch pin lock to keep it secure? Which one do you use?

[@ChantelBoats]

I don't have one, but it would be a good idea!

[@erichindemith9373]

Quick question. How tall is the opening on that garage? It's amazing that a boat that big fits in there!!!

[@ChantelBoats]

7 feet! In 2018, the Axis A20 and the T22 were the only new boats with a tower that could fit in a 7 foot garage!

[@erichindemith9373]

@@ChantelBoats Thank you for the info. My boat is 6'8" on the trailer so I was a little worried. I feel better about it now. Please keep the videos coming!!!!!!

[@PORTMIAMIMIKE]

What size boat is that? That Tundra has no problem pulling that boat?

[@ChantelBoats]

This is a 2018 Axis T22 - it weighs 4,300lbs dry weight, so with the trailer, gas, and gear, about 7,000lbs. The Tundra handled it great. Long distances and over hills, it sometimes slowed down a little, but overall, worked very well.

Hi Chantel!!!! I was able to order the bungee dock lines. Thank you for all your help. Looking forward to more videos from you!!!! they are amazing!!!! Very informative and easy to understand!!!!

[@ChantelBoats]

Hey Eric! Awesome! Glad you got some, they are the BEST!

[@erichindemith9373]

Thank you for all your videos. I ordered my first boat today, 2022 Tahoe 185S. Do you know if AWS will be getting in the Bungee dock lines you use? I want to get a pair of those for my boat. Thankfully I'll have time!!!!!!!

[@ChantelBoats]

Congrats on the new boat! I am checking all the time if we have those back in stock - I will send out a post when we get them back!

[@johnc.9133]

Chantel, what is your garage door height?

[@ChantelBoats]

7 foot door!

What is the garage clearance on a Malibu 23lsv with 14” Wheels and the G10 or G3.5 tower? I’ve seen some specs online but it seems no one has an exact measurement. My garage opening is 92” I’m hoping it will fit.

[@ChantelBoats]

Even with the tower hoop off on the G3.5 tower (which would be a pain if you had to remove it every time!), it won't fit in a 92" garage. The measurements I have look like a 23LSV with a GX tower (racks off) could fit (with a couple inches to spare), but I would recommend working with your dealer to try to do a garage fit. Driveway angle can make a difference when fitting a boat, so if you don't want any surprises, I would get a boat there to measure before you buy if possible!

[@timetoride32]

Chantel Herbert thank you for the information! I appreciate it!

[@sylvaough]

I just used this video to move my husbands boat while he was gone. The video forgot to mention lifting the motor to make sure it doesn't hit the ground moving out of the driveway. Oops.

[@ChantelBoats]

Oh nooooooo! The boat in this video doesn't have a motor that needs to lift up and down, but that is something a lot of boats require!
