Storage Cradle
If a storage cradle is used, the hull must be properly supported
to prevent load damage. This can occur with as little as fifteen
(15) pounds per square inch of pressure. Rest the boat on the
keel and use vertical supports extending up 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. Aviara
recommends a total support area of at least 1700 square inches
for all boats. Protect all items extending from the hull (i.e., the
lower units, propeller, intakes, etc.) to prevent them from resting
on the cradle or the ground. DO NOT apply any load stress to
the propeller, lower units, swim platform, water intake grate or
other protruding items.
