As in the deployment phase, please wear gloves and use extreme caution to ensure you do not let go of
the pulley line. Begin raising the dingy by pulling on the pulley line. Initially, strong pulling force will be
required. After a few pulls, lift the dingy up over the swim platform as shown. Repeat this process until
the dingy is sitting in the davit cradle. Continue hoisting until Dingy is in the storage position as shown.
Reattach transom davit cables. . Remove pulley from port side bridge position and reattach at the transom
position.
CRABBING & FISHING
Always check the fishing and crabbing requirements before you leave on your cruise. You will need a
license. Many areas are CLOSED to crabbing and fishing on certain months.
CRAB AWAY FROM THE BOAT! Lines can get wrapped around props. Fish-flavored cat food or
with the pop-up ringed lids or frozen chicken backs work the best for a nice neat way to bait the pot.
After 15-20 minutes, retrieve the crab pot quickly. Be certain of water depth before lowering crab pots;
make certain the buoy line is long enough for the depth. Keep the male crabs of proper size (usually 6 ¼
inches across the carapace). Boil crabs about 12 minutes to cook.
After using, wash equipment thoroughly with fresh water.
Note -- Please do not store wet pot and gear
inside the boat.
OTHER: Safety & Bilge Pumps
SAFETY should be paramount in your daily cruising. A PERSON OVERBOARD DRILL should be
discussed and perhaps even practiced with a life jacket. Remember your lifejackets are stowed under the
sofa in the starboard side of the salon. A few should always be out and ready. Your flares and safety
equipment are located in a cabinet on the port side of the salon.
This vessel is equipped with 3 AUTOMATIC BILGE PUMPS. You may occasionally hear the pump
operate due to condensation and water from the shaft log accumulating in the bilge.
The ENGINE SPARES BOX is stowed in the under-cockpit storage area. This includes oil filter, raw
water impeller, pump parts, injectors, and other small parts.
