Docking
Your 170 Montauk has (3) 8 inch cleats, One at the
bow and two located at the stern, one port and one
starboard. The cleats are used to secure the boat to
the dock while loading/unloading or mooring. Please
learn the proper way to secure the boat and how best
to use the mooring points of your boat.
Figure 2.18.2 shows the correct method for tying a
belaying knot, commonly used to secure a boat to a
dock. This knot will hold fast and is simple to release
when needed.
