Storage and Transportation
The best way to transport your boat is to purchase a trailer or roof rack
from your dealer. Using proper cradles that support the hull, the boat
can be transported right side up. Straps can then be laid across the boat
and tied to the rack bars. Straps should be tight, but not so tight that
they distort the shape of the boat. Avoid using ratchet straps to prevent
overtightening.
Be sure to consult your car and roof rack owner’s manual
to ensure that you comply with all recommendations,
precautions and specifications.
Running a line or strap from the bow and stern of the boat to each
bumper is required. If your bumpers do not have a gap to pass a rope
around, look underneath. There should be a loop of metal, which is used
by car transports such as tow trucks.
Many people like to use the scupper holes to tie the boat to the car. This
helps prevent the boat from sliding back and forth or the tie-down rope
from slipping off the boat. (This is an acceptable method for tying the
boat down for transport.)
