Mooring
NOTICE: It is not recommended to leave your boat in the water for extended
periods of time. Extended mooring may cause hull surfaces to discolor and/or
blister. Damage caused from this type of exposure is not covered under the
Supreme Boats warranty. If extended mooring is necessary, consider using a high
quality bottom paint for additional protection.
Because mooring configurations vary, consult with other experienced boaters or
qualified boating authorities for recommendations on properly mooring your boat.
Always moor your boat securely to prevent personal injury or property damage.
Helpful guidelines when mooring:
• Each mooring line must be of the appropriate strength, material and type to
safely secure your boat when moored.
• Each mooring line must be longer than the length of your boat.
• Use bow and stern mooring lines, as well as spring lines, for additional security.
• Use fenders to protect your boat from damage.
• When possible, tie up with the bow facing into the wind or current.
• Never attach a mooring line to a point or part of your boat that is not designed to
withstand the stress and the weight of the boat.
• Only use the bow eye, stern eyes and other cleats or attachment points that
have been approved for mooring.
• If you plan on mooring your boat for a long period of time, use chafing protectors
on lines to protect the boat’s finish.
• Leave some slack in the lines to allow for wave movement or tidal action if
applicable.
