2021 OWNER’S MANUAL | Get Ready
131
The following are recommended guidelines for docking:
• Approach the dock with the starboard side of the boat,
if possible. You will be able to see the edges of the dock
and boat better.
• Come to a stop at a short distance from the dock, and
then proceed slowly (no wake).
• Have fenders (where equipped), mooring lines and crew
ready.
• Observe how the wind and current are moving the boat.
Approach the dock with the boat pointed into the wind, if
possible. If the wind or current is pushing you away from
the dock, use a sharper angle of approach. If you must
approach the dock downwind or down current, use a slow
speed and shallow angle. Be ready to reverse to stop and
maintain position.
• If there is no wind or current, approach the dock at a 10-
to 20-degree angle.
• If possible, throw a line to a person on the dock and have
that person secure a bow line.
• With the bow secure, swing the stern in with a slight
throttle and turning of the steering wheel, or pull it in
with a boat hook.
Before tying up the boat, it is advisable to use enough fenders
(an additional, optional purchase) to protect the boat from
damage. It is necessary to tie up with some slack in the line, as
typing tightly will cause the boat’s finish to rub repeatedly against
the dock due to wave or tidal action, but if there is too much
slack the side of the boat may hit (and damage) the finish.
Tie up with the bow toward the waves, if possible, with a
good-quality, double-braided nylon line. Tie up only to the lifting
eye (under the forward bow point) or tie-down eyes (each side
of the transom), or optional cleats. Never use the handrails or
windshield frame, or any other component of the boat. If the
boat will be moored for an extended period of time, use chafing
protectors on the lines to protect the gel coat finish.
When leaving the dock, untie the lines and return them to the
boat deck to avoid snagging on any object on the dock. (Also,
stow the lines so that the operator and any passengers will not
trip on the lines or become entangled.) Move very slowly away
from the dock, unless the wind/current are naturally pushing the
boat away from the dock, where it is possible to drift until safely
free of the dock.
Always be certain to visually check that the center and
transom drain plugs are installed and secured prior to deploying
the boat in any body of water. The boat operator still must
physically check that the drain plugs are installed and properly
secure.
Never insert a hand, arm, or other body part between the dock and
the boat, or attempt to keep the boat from hitting the dock. The boat
could push against the dock, pinning the appendage, and causing
severe injury.
