Lifting - Centurion Ri257 Owner's Manual

LIFTING

NOTICE: Consult your dealer for proper lifting instructions for your boat.
Attempt to lift or hoist boats only if you are qualified or experienced with this
procedure. This procedure requires special equipment and experience. Do not
attempt to lift or hoist your boat alone; damage, personal injury or death can
occur. WARNING! There are several lifting hazards to be aware of if you need
to lift your boat and/or engine. See Safety Precautions in the Safety section
of this manual for more details.
If your boat is to be removed from the water without a trailer, follow these
guidelines:
• Cover lifting cables with a rubber hose or other protectors to prevent damage to
the finish.
• Attach guidelines to the bow and stern to control movement.
• Use spreader bars and keep lifting pressure vertical to prevent side load
damage.
• Keep the bow slightly higher than the stern to prevent engine damage.
