While loading/unloading or mooring, please learn the
proper way to secure the boat and how best to use the
mooring points of your boat. Use the cleats to secure the
boat to the dock.
Your boat has five (5) cleats; a pull-up cleat at the bow,
two (2) at the bow (P&S) & two (2) located at the
stern (P&S).
NEVER use the cleats to lift your boat.
Below is a simple diagram that shows a belaying knot;
commonly used to secure a boat to a dock. This knot will
hold fast and is simple to release when needed.
Mooring & Lifting Points
Lifting
Whether you are lifting your boat out of the water for
routine maintenance or long term storage, there are some
points to consider.
• If you are using a professional lifting
service, it is prudent to check all credentials
and ask for proof of insurance to protect
your
investment.
• Use a wide, fl at, belting sling for lifting,
to minimize stress on the gunwales. Careful
location of the sling is required.
DO NOT PLACE SLINGS WHERE
UNDERWATER FITTINGS WILL BE IN
CONTACT.
• If using a lifting hook, attach to bow eye
and the stern lifting eyes mounted on the
transom. Always use a spreader bar on the
stern eyes and use chafi ng protection on the
top of the transom.
• All drain plugs (i.e. transom, fi shwell,
deck, etc.) should be pulled out and the
boat positioned with the bow slightly higher
than the stern so that any water which is
allowed to accumulate in the cockpit and/or
bilge can easily drain from the boat.

Gelcoat surfaces are slippery when wet. Use
extreme caution when walking on wet surfaces.
Use care when waxing to ensure that walkways
are not made dangerously slippery.
!
WARNING
Use only the lifting points specifi ed. Using the
cleats for lifting is dangerous and could cause
serious injury or death and damage to the
boat.

DANGER
Bow and Stern Eyes
The bow eye is used to haul and hold your boat onto a
trailer. The stern eyes should be used as tie down points
while trailering the boat. The bow and stern eyes can also
be used for short term lifting such as for service.
Long term lifting with the bow and stern eyes can
cause stress on the fiberglass and gel coat and is not
recommended.
