Section 2 Boat Operation
Integral Lifting Eyes
Your boat might be equipped with integral lifting eyes.
These integral lifting eyes are only available as a
factory-installed option .
Your hull would have a special lamination schedule
and aluminum plate inserts to distribute the lifting load.
If your boat has integral lifting eyes that were installed
by the factory, you may use them as attaching points
to lift your boat.
If you use the integral lifting eyes to move the boat,
attach a four-point harness that is professionally certi-
fied to a working load of at least 7,600 pounds (3447
kg) with a safety factor of five. Your boat might have
been shipped with a Boston Whaler lifting sling set that
meets all manufacturer requirements for lifting this
boat.
To provide a 5° bow-up angle during lifting, the front
two straps are slightly longer than the rear two straps.
The front two straps are marked FORWARD and rear
two straps are marked REAR .
Attach at least two guide lines to control the boat while
it is being lifted.
Move the boat slowly.
!
DANGER
Never allow anyone to be in the boat or under
the boat while you are lifting it. A mistake in the
lifting procedure or a component failure could
cause serious injury or death.
!
CAUTION
Lift sling angles must always be greater than
60° from the deck, measured in any direction.
Lift sling angles less than 60° will multiply the
lifting forces and will damage the integral lifting
eyes and the boat.
