be on the seating provided or, if standing,
holding on firmly.

ClEaTs: Cleats must not be used for lifting
the boat; they are intended for docking or mooring
use only.
BOW anD sTERn EyEs: The bow eye must be
used to haul the boat onto a trailer. The stern eyes
must be used as tie down points for trailering the
boat. The bow and stern eyes may be used for short
term lifting of the boat such as for service. long
term lifting with the bow and stern eyes may cause
stress on the fiberglass and gel coat.
for long term storage, use flat, wide belt-type slings
and spreaders long enough to keep pressure from
gunwales. Do not place slings where they may lift
on underwater fittings.
