EQUIPMENT
NOTICE
– Do not moor watercraft with only
one retractable rope. Always use
front and rear systems together.
– During mooring, do not over-
tighten ropes. Always leave a lit-
tle slack. Take tides into consider-
ation if applicable. Always moor
watercraft with the rope and not
with its plastic end.
– The mooring system does not
protect watercraft against im-
pacts with the dock. Use dock
bumpers (cushions) in combina-
tion with retractable ropes to pro-
tect your watercraft.
– Always moor watercraft to a
dock of appropriate height using
strong mooring cleats.
Casting Off Using Speed-Ties
1. When casting off, first untie the
rear speed-tie. Retract the mooring
rope, hold the mooring rope stopper
near its receptacle and lift the lock-
ing lever. Once the mooring rope
is retracted, snap the mooring rope
stopper into its receptacle.
2. Step onto the watercraft. Be sure to
position your weight over the center
of the watercraft as much as possi-
ble to maintain watercraft stability
.
3. Carefully move to the operators' po-
sition.
4. Release the front mooring rope
from the dock cleat, retract it an
d
lock the stopper as with the rear
speed-tie.
5. Push or drift the watercraft away
from the dock.
CAUTION Be careful when re-
tracting mooring rope. Always hold
the stopper near its
receptacle be-
fore unlocking the lever. Do not
stand in the path of a retracting rope.
CAUTION Ensure that ropes
are properly retracted and that stop-
pers are properly snapped in before
starting watercraft.

ing and as tie-down points when trailer-
