No heavy gear or people should be in the Whaler when it is being moved on or off
Regal II. Excess gear could overload the hoist or cause failure.
The hoist is heavy machinery and is inherently dangerous. All
precautions must be followed to avoid damage and/or serious
injury.
Make sure your crew knows exactly what you want them
to do and not to do before you start loading!
Never allow passengers to be in the dinghy when it is being
hoisted.
Never allow anybody to be directly underneath the dinghy when
it is being hoisted.
Only use the hoist in calm water.
DO NOT
hoist the dinghy up or
down while Regal II is rocking to prevent collision with Regal II
or crew.
Preparation
1. Remove all loose gear from the dinghy
2. Re-snap the davits to the swim platform
3. Attach cable from the hoist.
4. Push the cable in control on the hoist control. The dingy will pivot on the snap davits.
5. Once the dingy is in range of the restraining bars, re-connect them to the dingy.
20. OPERATING DINGHY
Before taking off:
1. Make sure each passenger has a lifejacket available on the dinghy.
By
Washington State law, Kids under age 12 must be wearing their lifejackets at
all times when in the dinghy.
2. Check level of gas in gas tank by looking at sight gauge on top of tank.
3. Secure all loose baggage, charts, clothing. The wind pattern underway will suck
most light objects out of the boat.
4. Make sure all lines are secured in a way to keep them from falling overboard and
getting into the prop. Especially the bow line.
5. Make sure the motor is lowered and pointed straight back.
6. The motor is an electric start.
