Weighing (Pulling In) Anchor
Start engine and move forward until anchor line is straight up and down.
Pull hard to lift anchor from the bottom material.
If the anchor is stuck, attach anchor line to the bow cleat so that it is taut.
The up and down motion of the bow from wave action may lift the anchor
from the bottom. If the anchor remains stuck, let out a few more feet of line
and attach it to the bow cleat. Slowly maneuver the boat around the anchor
until the anchor pulls loose. Be sure to keep the line tight during this
procedure.
PERFORMANCE BOATING
Some boat models; especially those with high horsepower engines, are
capable of truly exhilarating performance. Don’t be tempted to push your
boat to its limits until you are completely familiar with the boat’s operating
characteristics. The operator should have at least 10 hours of experience
with the boat before any extended full throttle operation.
Here are some guidelines for performance operation. Read them, practice
them, and soon you will be operating your boat to its full capability.
Before Running
●
Keep the bottom clean and free of scum, barnacles and other growth.
Growth on the hull can slow the boat down considerably.
●
Prepare the boat. Be sure all gear is properly stowed and
compartments are latched.
●
Weight distribution affects performance. Keep weight in the boat low
and evenly distributed. Remove unnecessary weight and keep on
shore.
●
The propeller should be of the proper pitch to turn the recommended
RPM rating for the engine and of the proper type for your average load
and individual requirements. Your dealer can help you select a
performance propeller.
