OAT RRANGEMENT
For long term storage, use flat, wide belt-type slings
and spreaders long enough to keep pressure from
gunwales. Do not place slings where they may lift
on underwater fittings.
A. S
UPPORTING
A cradle is the ideal support for the boat whenever
it is not in the water. Properly designed and
constructed, it will provide support at the proper
points, which is essential to avoid stress on the hull.
Boat placement on the cradle should line up as
closely as possible to the sling tags on the side of
the deck. Do not rest boat on underwater fittings.
