feet. An eye splice at the end of each line should be
large enough to fit comfortably over bow or stern
cleats.
If you are mooring your boat in an area where tides are
a consideration, be sure to leave slack in the lines to
make up for the rise and fall of the water.
If you are mooring your boat for a short time, bow and
stern lines may be the only lines you will need. If you
are mooring your boat for a longer time or if the cur-
rents are swift, you should use spring lines. The stern
spring line leads from the boat's stern cleat forward to
the piling or cleat on the dock. The bow spring line
leads from the bow cleat aft to the dock. If you are
mooring your boat in a slip, bow and spring lines, port
and starboard, will keep your boat in position.
Loading
When loading your boat, remember to distribute the
load evenly. Keep the load low and do not overload.
The capacity plate affixed to your boat states the max-
imum load capacity. The plate shows persons and gear
in pounds that the boat will safely handle under normal
conditions. The U.S Coast Guards establishes these
load capacity ratings.
When loading always step onto the boat, never board
by jumping. Have someone on the dock pass your gear
aboard. Secure all gear firmly so it will not move or
interfere with operation of the boat.
Passengers should aboard the boat one-at-a-time and
be seated. Passengers should remain seated during
loading of the boat to maintain an even trim. Prohibit
passengers from riding on the bow with feet hanging
over the side, or riding while sitting on the stern or
gunwales.
