Lifting rings
Your boat has lifting rings at the bow and at the stern. These are designed to
lift your boat in a steady and secure manner. Be certain to use a winch that has
a lifting capacity sufficient for your boat. See boat weight specs in the front of
this manual. These weights are dry weight. You must add the weight of the
battery, fuel, and gear to the dry weight.
CAUTION: DRAIN THE BILGE AND/OR LAUNCH CONTROL
SYSTEM AND/OR AFTERMARKET WATER BLADDERS(S) TO
ELIMINATE EXCESS WATER BEFORE YOU LIFT THE BOAT.
Note: Only use a hook that will pass easily through the lifting ring without
binding. This is very important. A hook that is too large or off-center could
break the lifting ring.
Capacity Plate
The capacity plate is used by boat
manufacturers participating in the
National Marine Manufacturers
Association certification program.
Correct Craft has submitted your model
for inspection and compliance with their
guidelines.
The capacity plate has the following
information permanently printed on it. It
is attached to the boat by the throttle for
the operator to read before they drive the
boat.
• The total weight of persons, gear and
other items which the boat is capable of
carrying under normal conditions. This
weight must include any water added to
ballast other than the Launch Control System.
• The maximum number of persons allowed on the boat.
This information on the capacity plate applies under normal conditions and
special care must be used in any other than normal conditions.
Check the capacity plate on your boat and abide by these limits.
NOTE: CORRECT CRAFT, INC. INSTALLS A PERMANENT
WAKE ENHANCEMENT BALLAST TANK SYSTEM IN SOME
MODELS. THE FULL WEIGHT OF THIS SYSTEM HAS
ALREADY BEEN CONSIDERED IN THE BOAT WEIGHT AND
THEREFORE DOES NOT INFLUENCE MAXIMUM CAPACITY,
UNLIKE PORTABLE BALLAST TANKS OR WEIGHTS, WHICH
MUST BE INCLUDED AS PART OF THE GEAR WEIGHT.
