LIFTING AND TRANSPORTING CABIN / AC
Lifting
Position the lifting straps as shown in the picture below. When the
straps have been attached to the lifting hook on the crane they should
be secured with lines to the bow and stern cleats to prevent the lifting
straps from sliding.
Transporting
Always use an authorized boat transport company for transporting the
boat on land. Make sure the company has full insurance cover, in case
of any damages.
ACTIONS BEFORE WINTER STORAGE
01 Wash the hull and bottom immediately after lifting the vessel out
of the water.
02 Leave all lockers, drawers, cabin and wardrobe doors ajar.
03 Wash all parts inside, also under the oorboards.
04 Carpets and cushions should preferably be stored indoors in a dry
place. If this is not possible, make sure that the cushions are dry and
position them on their side. Remove the carpets.
05 Be very thorough about having good ventilation in the boat.
06 If the batteries are being left aboard, make sure they are fully
charged, otherwise the batteries can freeze and crack.
ACTION BEFORE LAUNCHING
01 Remove the tarpaulin in good time before launching.
02 Wash the hull with a regular shampoo and soft brush.
03 Wax the hull if necessary. Use a standard boat wax.
04 If there are small scratches on the hull, or if some of the surface
gelcoat has lost its shine, use a rubbing compound on these areas
before polishing.
05 Paint the bottom with antifouling paint.
06 If the batteries have been removed, put them back and check the
electrolyte level in the cells. Check the condition of the batteries.
07 Check all cables, clamps, engine mountings and other fastenings.
08 Check the steering before launching.
09 Check the instrumentation.
10 Close all water drain plugs.
11 Check that the seacocks are in order and tight, check for any frost
damage.
12 Check all pipes, hoses and cocks.
13 Make a note of any frost damage.
CAUTION!
The lifting beam should be exactly the same width as the boat.
Always take great precautions near and around the boat when lifting.
Note the location of the log transducer to avoid damaging it. Protect the
hull sides well to avoid damages. The position of the slings may need to
be adjusted depending on how the boat is loaded.
