MARKERSFOR SLINGSTYPICAL
Sling markers may be located on the forward and a d
eck
near the rub rail. ese markers provide a safe location
to locate straps to li the boat. Failure to use marked
sling marker locations could cause damage to the boat
structure.
When li ing the vessel close all doors, hatches and port-
lights. Make sure the spreader bars are adjustable enough
to be wider than the sling beam area. is will allow the
slings to hold the weight of the boat properly without
forcing the boat structure inward. Make sure there is no
pressure on the rub rail or swim platform. Always use
a at wide belt-style straps as they distribute and hold
the boat weight in a more supported fashion. Do not
use the cable-style straps since they may cause hull or
rub rail damage. See the technical chapter for more li
information.
AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION,
WHEN THE BOAT IS LIFTED,
TIE A LINE BETWEEN BOTH STRAPS
TO PREVENT THE STRAPS FROM MOVING
FORWARD OR AFT.
TO AVOID POSSIBLE FIBERGLASS DAMAGE, SET
VESSEL FOR EXTENDED STORAGE
ON A FACTORY APPROVED
AND ADJUSTED STEEL CRADLE.
NEVER USE BLOCKING TO SUPPORT THE
VESSEL’S HULL BOTTOM.
