4 . 2 . LIFTING YOUR BOAT
Now that your boat is ready to launch, it is necessary to lift it
into the water with a marine hoist or travel lift. This should only
be done by your dealer or a qualified marine
service facility and personnel.
Lifting your boat should only be done with slings located where
indicated by sling tags on the hull side, port and starboard (see
Figure 4-3), and with the slings held at least the same beam as
the boat with the hoist or spreader bars. Pads should be placed
at the chine corners to ease the pressure while lifting.
Failure to follow the above procedures while lifting
your boat may result in structural damage to the hull
and deck or underwater gear.
4 . 3 . AFTER LAUNCHING YOUR BOAT
The first thing to check is the bilge area and all thru-hulls,
seacocks, rudder shaft logs, and propeller shaft logs to be sure
