YOUR BOAT
LIFTING RINGS:
Your Nautique is equipped with bow and stern lifting rings.
They are designed to lift your boat
in
a steady, secure position. Use a winch that has a
lifting capacity sufficient to lift your boat.
See
the weight specifications for your boat
on
Page 1 of "Your Boat." (DON'T FORGET
TO
ALLOW
FOR
THE WEIGHT OF FUEL AND
GEAR.)
CAUTION: Drain the bilge to eliminate excess water prior to lifting your boat.
(Under this condition the lifting stability and the stress exerted on the lifting rings are
greatly effected.)
Proper Hook Size
NOTE: Use a hook that will pass easily through the ring without binding. This
is
VERY
important. A hook that
is
too large or off-center could snap the ring. (See illustration)
The lifting rings on your boat are more than sufficient to accommodate its weight. Care
must be taken to ensure proper hook-up. Consult a professional for proper design of
hardware (hooks, yolks, slings, cable diameter, spreader bar, etc.).
