additional strengthening of the cradle. Most fork lifts tend to concentrate the
maximum weight in a small area, therefore damage may occur. Recommended
procedure requires that boats being lifted in shipping cradles have straps placed
under fore and aft upright supports and be lifted by a crane.
13.1 Prior To Launching
The exterior of the yacht should be sponged down with soapy water to reveal any
scratches or damage. Repair damaged areas.
Wax the hull exterior. Color pigment may be mixed into the wax before application. This
tends to make small scratches disappear when the hull is polished.
Check and clean the saildrive leg. If a folding propeller is fitted, check that the blades
open and close readily, and that the cotter pins are in place and secure.
Examine all deck fittings for security and service all winches.
Check that batteries are fully charged, that battery terminals are clean and that all
electrical connections are clean and secure.
Prior to launch, all thru hull valves should be closed to prevent any leakage. Check that
all thru hull fittings are secure and that valves open and close easily.
Replace engine block and water pump drain plugs. Remove any winter cover protecting
the engine air intake and plug or cover at the stern exhaust port.
13.2 After Launching
Check all thru hull fittings, seacocks and the bilge to ensure that no leakage exists. Open the
intake seacock for the engine cooling water. Turn on the main power switch. Start engine.
After the engine has reached operating temperature, shut down and change oil.
