BOATS CAN BE DAMAGED FROM IMPROPER LIFTING AND ROUGH HAN-
DLING WHEN BEING TRANSPORTED BY LIFT TRUCKS. CARE AND
PROPER HANDLING PROCEDURES MUST BE USED WHEN USING A LIFT
TRUCK TO MOVE THE BOAT. NEVER ATTEMPT TO LIFT THE BOAT
WITH A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF WATER IN THE BILGE.
SEVERE GELCOAT CRACKING OR MORE SERIOUS HULL DAMAGE CAN
OCCUR DURING HAULING AND LAUNCHING IF PRESSURE IS CREATED
ON THE GUNWALES (SHEER) BY THE SLINGS. FLAT, WIDE BELTING
SLINGS AND SPREADERS LONG ENOUGH TO KEEP PRESSURE FROM
THE GUNWALES IS ESSENTIAL. DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO HAUL
YOUR BOAT WHEN THE SPREADERS ON THE LIFT ARE NOT WIDE
ENOUGH TO TAKE THE PRESSURE OFF THE GUNWALES.
Supporting The Boat For Storage
A trailer, elevating lift or a well-made cradle is the best support for your boat during storage.
When storing the boat on a trailer for a long period:
• Make sure the rollers and pads properly support the hull of the boat and do not put pressure on
the hull lifting strakes.
• Make sure the trailer is on a level surface and the bow is high enough so that water will drain
from the cockpit and bilge.
• Make sure the outdrive is in the down position.
• Check the tires once each season. Add enough air for the correct amount of inflation for the
tires.
Note: Read the owner’s manual for the trailer for the correct amount of inflation for the
tires.
When storing the boat on a lift or cradle:
• The cradle must be specifically for boat storage.
• Make sure the lift or cradle is well supported with the bow high enough to provide proper
drainage of the bilge.
• Make sure the outdrive is in the down position.
