LIFTING
Consult the boat dealer for proper lifting instructions for
the boat.
Attempt to lift or hoist boats only if you are qualified or experienced with this
procedure. This procedure requires special equipment and experience. Do not
attempt to lift or hoist the boat alone; damage, personal injury or death can occur.
Crush Hazard: Special equipment is necessary to lift
the boat and/or engine. Always use lifting equipment with sufficient capacity
to lift the boat and/or engine.
If the boat is to be removed from the water without a trailer, follow these guidelines:
• Cover lifting cables with a rubber hose or other protectors to prevent
damage to the finish.
• Attach guidelines to the bow and stern to control movement.
• Use spreader bars and keep lifting pressure vertical to prevent side load
damage.
• Keep the bow slightly higher than the stern to prevent engine damage.
