11.1 Deck
Rails and Deck Hardware
The rail system and hardware ttings have been
selected and installed to perform specic func-
tions. Hand rails are installed to provide a hand-
hold in certain areas of the boat. You should make
sure you keep at least one hand on the handholds
as you move about the boat.
Fenders or mooring lines should be secured to
the cleats and not to rails or stanchions. The
cleats on your boat are retractable and ush with
the deck when not in use. To use the cleats, pull
up on the center of the cleat until it locks in the
mooring position. Be sure a clear lead exists
when running dock lines or anchor lines. A line
inadvertently run around a stanchion or over the
rail could cause damage.

MONTEREY BOATS ARE NOT EQUIPPED WITH HARDWARE
DESIGNED FOR TOWING PURPOSES. THE MOORING CLEATS
ARE NOT TO BE USED FOR TOWING ANOTHER VESSEL OR

Anchor/Rope Locker
The anchor locker is in the bow of the boat and
accessed through a hatch in the deck. The anchor
line is always stored in the rope locker and there
is an eye tting to secure the bitter end of the
anchor line. Always make sure the rope locker
and deck hatch are closed and properly latched
before getting underway.
If the anchor is stored in the anchor locker, it must
be properly secured to prevent it from bouncing
in the locker and causing damage to the hull or
anchor locker. The anchor locker is designed for
one uke style anchor that is properly secured in
the cradle. Do not store additional anchors or any
