Hi all,

I have a Maxum MX 1800 I believe it weights about 2500 lbs inc the trailer..1133kg..not 100% on that as I know trailers vary.

I have a 10 year old Merc C180 petrol which has a kerb weight of 1455kg.

Combined weight of ~2600kg

I am wondering would it pull the boat in and out of the water and short distances?? and can I do this on a normal full license? or do i need a BE

All ideas appreciated!

Fran

The towing capability of your car should be in your manual it may also depend on weather the trailer is braked or not. You can tow a trailer up to 750kg on a standard licence after that it might depend on the car you have as to weather you need an EB license or not to tow it. check this out http://www.rsa.ie/en/RSA/Your-Vehicle/About-your-Vehicle/Example-of-non-Dup/Trailers-/Legal-Requirements-for-towing-trailers-/ or give them a call.
