Chapter 3: General Information
Casting Off and Approaching The Dock
Unlike an automobile, the stern of your boat reacts first when turning. A turn to the right will
swing the stern to the left and vice-versa. Remember that turning your boat away from an object,
such as a dock, will tend to swing the stern toward that object. Reference procedures for casting off
and approaching the dock starting on page 51 of Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts Owner’s Manual.
Reboarding Ladder
Your Grady-White boat is equipped with a reboarding ladder. In addition to allowing entry and
exit of the boat for swimming or other activities in the water, it also provides a means of unassisted
reboarding in the event of someone falling overboard. This ladder is located on the platform at the
stern of the boat and is accessible by a person in the water. To deploy, lift the hinged section and
swing it away from the boat so that the rungs are in the water. The ladder is telescopic and can be
extended by manually pushing or pulling on the last rung. When the ladder is not in use it should be
retracted and kept in the stowed position on the platform. Some boat models are equipped with an
additional ladder in the bow, or a removable ladder for use with a cockpit side door. These ladders
are not intended to be used for unassisted reboarding.
DANGER
To avoid risk of injury or death from contact with propellers, engines should not be running
when near swimmers or when using reboarding ladder.
Anchoring
Some factors that determine the size and type of anchor most suitable for your boat include the
size of your boat and the type of lake, sea or river bottom in your boating area. Sportfish, Cruisers,
Yachts Owner’s Manual
has a list of tips concerning anchoring starting on page 56.
N OT I C E
It is illegal to tie your boat to navigational aids such as buoys and markers.
WARNING
Never anchor off the stern of the boat especially in strong winds or currents. The weight of the
stern and flat surface to the seas can easily cause water to enter over the transom and swamp
the boat.
