Step
Procedure
Final Inspection
3.1
Operate the hoist again -
launch then lift
- checking for proper positioning of the boat
and Pads and for proper operation of the lift and Walkways.
Step
Procedure
Guide Ropes
2.1
With the boat correctly positioned on the hoist, untie both the FRONT and REAR
ends of each Guide rope. Tie a small loop (about 6 inches in diameter) in one end of
each Guide Rope and place the loops over the REAR cleats of the boat.
2.2
Pull the Guide Ropes tight and tie the loose ends to the outboard ends of each FRONT
Upper Tank Band. (Right rope to right tank band, left rope to left tank band.)
2.3
Attach the Warning Decals (2003400) to the Guide Ropes.
Step
Procedure
Balance and Load
1.1
Carefully check the boat’s position on the hoist and Hull Support Pads. The boat
should be centered side to side, with the hull Support Pads contacting the hull
between the chines and to the transom area.
Note 1:
It is common for some unavoidable crossing of the chines at the bow of the
boat, which is acceptable.
Note 2:
The ends of the Hull Support Pads should extend to the transoms of outboard
boats; for stern-drive boats, the ends of the Hull Support Pads should not extend
forward of the engine compartment. Reposition the boat or pads if necessary.
1.2
Carefully check the hoist’s position in the water. The tanks should be level fore to aft
with an acceptable 4-inch drop to stern. Correct the fore to aft position of the boat on
the hoist to rectify any unbalance.
1.3
At least 1/3 of each tank should be above the water surface for correct lifting and
hoist stability. If less than 1/3 of the tank is above the water, the boat is too heavy for
the hoist and a larger hoist should be installed.
