When the boat is out of the water, it is im-
portant to support the hull correctly to
avoid any hull damage. Such damage may
void the warranty.
Storage Cradle
If a storage cradle is used, the hull must
be properly supported to prevent load dam-
age. This can occur with as little as fteen
(15) pounds per square inch of pressure.
DO NOT support the boat by resting the
hull on the keel (the central fore-and-aft
structural member in the bottom of the
boat’s hull, extending from the bow to the
stern). Vertical supports must extend from
the chine (the angular intersection of the
bottom and sides of the boat) to the keel
with no gaps between the hull and cradle
supports. A total support area of at least 250
square inches is required for proper support
of boats under 25’ and 500 square inches
for boats over 25’. Protect all items extend-
ing from the hull (i.e., the rudder, propeller,
ns, etc.) to prevent them from resting on
the cradle or the ground. DO NOT apply
any load stress to the propeller, shaft, rud-
der, swim platform, water intake grate or
other protruding items.
