prevent the boat from gaining too much speed. Move the stern right and left by shifting the
engine in and out of gear or turning the wheel. When nearly in the slip all the way, straighten
the outdrive and shift to forward to stop. Keep the engines running until the lines are secured.
Securing Dock Lines
Securing a boat along side the dock typically requires a bow and stern line and two spring lines.
The bow and stern lines are usually secured to the dock at a 40° angle aft of the stern cleat and
forward of the bow cleat. The after bow spring line is secured to the dock at a 40° angle aft
of the after bow spring cleat. The forward quarter spring is secured to the dock at a 40° angle
forward of the stern cleat. The spring lines keep the boat square to the dock and reduce fore
and aft movement while allowing the boat to move up and down with the tide.
Securing a boat that in a slip is somewhat different. It typically requires two bow lines secured
to pilings on each side of the bow, two stern lines secured to the dock and two spring lines that
prevent the boat from hitting the dock. The bow lines are typically secured with enough slack
to allow the boat to ride the tide. The stern lines are crossed. One line runs from the port aft
boat cleat to the starboard dock cleat and the other line runs from the starboard aft boat cleat
to the port cleat on the dock. The stern lines center the boat, control the forward motion, and
allow the boat to ride the tide. Two forward quarter spring lines typically are secured to the
stern cleats and to mid ship pilings or cleats. The spring lines keep the boat from backing into
the dock while allowing it to ride the tide.
Leaving the Dock
Always start the engine and let it 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 engine running until the line is secured.
Leaving a Mooring
Start the engine and let it 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 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
