Quicksilver® 805PH — General Information
16
Towing or being towed can lead to fatigue of the boat ’ s
hardware and lines. Failure of any part can seriously injury
people or damage the boat. Do not stand directly in line
with the tow line. If the line were to break, it would “ snap
back ” causing injury or damage to everything in its path.
Use only the lifting points specified. Using the cleats for
lifting is dangerous and could cause serious injury or death.
Always tow or be towed at a slow speed. Never exceed the
hull speed of a displacement craft when being towed.
It is the owner ’ s/operator ’ s responsibility to ensure that
mooring lines, towing lines, anchor chains, anchor lines and
anchors are adequate for the vessel ’ s intended use. Owners
should also consider what action will be necessary when
securing a tow line on board.

Cleats
Your boat comes equipped with six cleats, two located on the bow, two located at midship, and two
located at the stern. The cleats are used to secure the boat to the dock while loading, unloading, or
mooring.
Bow Eye / Stern Eyes
Your boat includes a bow eye, which is used to haul and hold your boat onto a trailer. In addition,
there are two stern eyes, located on the transom, which are used as tie down points during trailering
the boat. The bow and stern eyes may be used for short term lifting of the boat only.
Towing
Quicksilver® does not recommend towing other boats, or being towed by other boats, unless it is
absolutely necessary. In the event that it becomes necessary for you to have your boat towed, a
professional company experienced in this type of operation is better equipped to handle this situation.
