! CAUTION

1. DOCKING/LIFTING/STORAGE

A. BOW AND STERN CLEATS

Cleats must not be used for lifting the boat, they

are intended for docking or mooring use only.

When lifting the boat always keep the bow higher

than the stern to drain the exhaust lines and to

prevent water from running forward through the

manifold and into the engine where it can become

trapped. It may seem expedient to lift only the stern

when changing a propeller, but this can result in

water entering the engine cylinders, causing

hydrostatic lock and resulting in possible engine

failure. Even a small amount of water in the engine

can cause rust and is to be avoided.

With fiberglass boats, severe gelcoat crazing or

more serious hull damage can occur during

launching and hauling if pressure is created on the

gunwales by the slings. Flat, wide belting-type slings

and spreaders long enough to keep pressure from

the gunwales are necessary. Cable-type slings

should be avoided. Do not place the slings where

they may lift on the propeller shaft or other

underwater fittings. The slings should be placed

directly over the sling tags imprinted on the deck to

assure the least amount of stress on the hull.

Never hoist the boat with an appreciable amount of

water in the bilge. Fuel and water tanks should

preferably be empty, especially if of large capacity.
