Leaving the Dock
Always start the engines and let them warm up for 10 to 15 minutes before releasing the lines.
Boats steer from the stern and it is important that you achieve enough clearance at the stern to
maneuver the boat as quickly as possible. Push the stern off and maneuver such that you get stern
clearance quickly. Proceed slowly until well clear of the dock and other boats.
Mooring
Approach the mooring heading into the wind or current. Shift to neutral when you have just
enough headway to reach the buoy. Position a crew member on the bow to retrieve the mooring
with a boat hook and secure the line. Keep the engines running until the line is secured.
Leaving a Mooring
Start the engines and let them warm up for several minutes before releasing the mooring line. The
boat will already be headed into the wind, so move it forward enough to loosen the line and untie
it. Back the boat away from the mooring until you can see the buoy. Move the boat slowly away
from the mooring.
Anchoring
Make sure the bitter end of the anchor rode is attached to the boat before dropping the anchor.
Bring the bow into the wind or current and put the engine in neutral. When the vessel comes to
a stop, lower the anchor over the bow. Pay out the anchor line so that it is at least 5 to 7 times
the depth of the water and secure the line to a cleat. Use caution to avoid getting your feet or hands
tangled in the line. Additional scope of 10 times the depth may be required for storm conditions.
Check landmarks on shore to make sure the anchor is not dragging. If it is dragging, you will have
to start all over. It is prudent to use two anchors if anchoring overnight or in rough weather.
Releasing the Anchor
Release the anchor by driving the boat slowly to the point where the anchor line becomes vertical.
It should release when you pass that point. If the anchor doesn't release right away, stop the boat
directly above the anchor and tie the line to the cleat as tight as possible. The up and down
movement of the boat will usually loosen the anchor within a minute. Make sure you secure the
anchor and properly stow the line before operating the boat.
NEVER ANCHOR THE BOAT BY THE STERN. THE STERN OF THE BOAT
IS VULNERABLE TO SWAMPING FROM WAVE ACTION AND WIND AND
CURRENT WILL PUT MORE STRESS ON THE ANCHOR WHEN IT IS AT-
TACHED TO THE STERN. ONLY ANCHOR THE BOAT BY THE BOW.
