Docking
Your 220 Dauntless has (6) 8 inch cleats, two located
at the bow, two located amidship and two located at
the stern. The cleats are used to secure the boat to
the dock while loading/unloading or mooring. Please
learn the proper way to secure the boat and how best
to use the mooring points of your boat.
Figure 2.21.2 shows the correct method for tieing a
belaying knot, commonly used to secure a boat to a
dock. This knot will hold fast and is simple to release
when needed.

Lifting
The bow eye is used to haul and hold your boat onto
a trailer. The stern eyes are used as tie down points
while trailering the boat. The bow and stern eyes may
be used only for short term lifting of the boat such as
service. Long term lifting with bow and stern eyes
will cause stress on the fiberglass and gel coat.
For long term lifting or storage, use flat, wide belt-
type slings and spreaders long enough to keep
pressure from gunwales. DO NOT place slings where
they may lift on underwater fittings.
!
DANGER
Use only the lifting points specified. Using the
cleats for lifting is dangerous and could cause
serious injury or death.
