4) Make sure the boat is centered on
the support rails and is headed
straight for the bow stop (bumper
board). Ease the boat forward until
the bow rests against the bow stop.
5) Attach and tighten the winch line.
The winch line is not designed to
pull the boat onto the trailer.
The winch line should not be the
only line securing the bow during
trailering. Use the chain along
with the winch to secure the boat
to the trailer.
6) Pull the trailer up the ramp out of the
way of other boaters. Attach the
bow and stern tie-downs.
Reconnect the trailer lights.
7) Follow the Post-Operation Checks
on page 3-25.
LIFTING
Do not attach lifting cables to the
bow eye, cleats, water-ski tow eye,
or grab handles. Serious damage to
the boat can occur. Use only a sling
designed specifically for lifting
boats.
If you need to remove the Sport Boat
from the water without a trailer, use
these guidelines:
Use a sling-type lifting mechanism
designed for lifting boats. The sling
should be covered with a protective
material to prevent damage to the
hull gelcoat.
Use spreader bars to avoid side
stress to the hull that may cause
cracks in the gelcoat and fiberglass.
Attach guidelines to the bow eye
and stern tie-down cleats to control
movement of the boat during lifting.
Remove all people and all cargo
from the boat. Drain any excess
water from the bilge using the bilge
pump.
Be sure all people are standing
clear, then lift boat slowly and just
far enough to verify that the boat is
securely held and properly bal-
anced. If necessary, lower the boat
again and adjust the slings.
When ready, lift the boat slowly and
carefully.
