RAILERING
CLEATS: Cleats must not be used for lift-
ing the boat, they are intended for moor-
ing use only.
BOW AND STERN EYES: The bow eye
should be used to haul the boat onto a
trailer. The stern eyes should be used as
tie down points for trailering the boat. The
bow and stern eyes may be used for short term lifting
of the boat such as for service. Long term lifting with
the bow and stern eyes may cause stress on the fiber-
glass and gel coat.
For long term storage use flat, wide
belt-type slings and spreaders long
enough to keep pressure from gun-
wales. Do not place slings where they may lift on un-
derwater fittings. When slings are used for lifting the
boat, they shoud be positioned at the “SLING” tag lo-
cations on the sides of the hull.
