I've recently purchased a honda civic dx-g and I've got a hitch installed and I was wondering If I will Have any issues towing a 514lbs dry weight skidoo with it.

The trailer is no more than 200lbs.


Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated

 

automatic or 5 speed???

 

nah, i have more than that in my back seat half the time.. i have supersize friends too.

 

sorry its an automatic and we live in a hilly area.

So the total weight would be around 714lbs not including any gas oil and accessories and we live in a area with quite a few hills.

the only problem i see with it is, when you goto unload and load the jet ski from the dock and when you go to pull up the dock since its front wheel drive all the weight will be on the rear givivng you a hard time to pull the jet ski up the inclined dock

 

its an skidoo not a seadoo lol

 

its still weight that you have to pull up the dock.

 

I'd say your probably fine. The number I seem to remember is 750 lbs. BUT you should read your owners manual to find out how much you can tow safely.

Always make sure you have at least 60% of the weight on the tongue.

 

Its a skidoo and sorry but you do not load or pull up a dock

my only concerns would be climbing hills with the trailer and skidoo in tow.

but thanks for the info
