Lifting and Storing Your Yacht
CAUTION
DO NOT lift a yacht with a large
amount of water in the bilge! Undue
stress will be put on the hull that
may cause damage which is not
covered under the warranty.
Slings must never contact or exert a
force on shafts, struts or hardware
protruding from the hull. This type
of stress can damage fiberglass,
bend or misalign parts, which is not
covered under the warranty.
Use two web slings and 16 ft (5 m) spreader
bars to lift the yacht. Slings must have a
minimum width of six inches and a capacity
rating high enough to support the yacht.
Spreader bars reduce the side pressure at
the yacht’s sheer line and prevent distortion
or damage to the deck or gunwale molding.
Put slings around the hull at positions
marked “SLING.” The sling decal is located
just under the gunwale molding. Make sure
the sling contacts the bottom of the hull for
the entire length with no twists in the sling.
When lifting the yacht, keep the bow slightly
higher than the stern to keep water from
running into engine manifold. Water can
cause corrosion or damage to the engine.
