MARKERS-FOR SLINGS
Sling markers are located on the forward and aft deck near
the rub rail. These markers provide a safe location to place
straps to lift the boat. Failure to use marked sling marker
locations could cause damage to the boat structure. When
lifting the vessel close all doors, hatches and portholes.
Make sure the spreader bars are adjustable enough to be
wider than the sling beam area. This 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 wings. Always use fl at
wide, belt-style straps as they distribute and hold the
boat weight in a more supportive fashion. Do not use
the cable-style straps since they may cause hull or rub rail
damage.
AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION,
WHEN THE BOAT IS LIFTED,
TIE A LINE BETWEEN BOTH STRAPS
TO PREVENT THE STRAPS FROM MOVING
FORWARD OR AFT.
