Docking
Your boat 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 2.19.2 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.

Lifting
The bow eye is used to haul out and hold your boat
onto a trailer. The stern eyes are used as tie down
points while trailering the boat. The bow and stern
eyes may be used only for short term lifting of the
boat. Long term lifting with bow and stern eyes
can cause stress on the fiberglass and gel coat.
!
DANGER
Use only the lifting points specified. Using the
cleats for lifting is dangerous and could cause
serious injury or death.
