Turn off breaker on electrical panel except for the bilge pumps.
Remove any food, garbage, and wet gear from boat.
Secure lockers, hatches, and canvas as equipped.
If keeping boat in water, hook up shore power cord, make sure
battery charger light is ON, and check mooring lines.
DOCKING
Practice docking before attempting it for the first time. Use a float,
like a plastic milk jug with a line and small weight, as your docking
target.
Never use your hand, arm or other part of your body to
attempt to keep the boat from hitting the dock. The boat
could push against the dock, causing an injury.
Follow these guidelines when docking:
Approach docks with the port side of the boat if possible.
Come to a stop a short distance from the dock, then proceed
slowly.
Have fenders, mooring lines, and crew ready.
Observe how the wind and current are moving your boat.
Approach the dock with the boat pointed into the wind, if possi-
ble. 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 the engine, or pull it
in with a boat hook.
Before tying-up the boat, be sure to use enough fenders to protect
the boat from damage. If possible, tie-up with the bow towards the
waves with a good quality double-braided nylon line. Tie-up only to
the lifting or tie-down eyes; never use the handrails or windshield
frames. If the boat is to be moored for a long period of time, use
chafing protectors on lines to protect the gelcoat finish. Leave a little
slack in the lines to allow for some wave movement or tidal action if
applicable.
Follow these guidelines when departing:
Very slowly shift into forward at idle speed.
When the stern moves away from the dock, turn the engine
away from the dock.
Cast off bow line and back away.
If the wind or current is pushing away from the dock, cast off all lines
and allow to drift until you are clear.
