Lifting The Boat - Nauticstar Deck Series Owner's Manual

DECK SERIES OWNER'S MANUAL

• Climb ladder always keeping at least one hand and one foot in contact with ladder or handrail

LIFTING THE BOAT

When the boat is hoisted from the water, proper use of the stern eyes or a sling system is required for all NauticStar Deck
Series models. Although stern eyes are designed to lift a boat from the water, care must be taken to ensure you do not
damage your boat. A spreader bar used at the stern will help ensure that the load at the stern eyes is vertical. A strap
placed between stern eyes, and then lifted from the mid-point, is not the recommended method, and will put substantial
additional stress on the stern eye mounting location.
An overhead hoist with an appropriate rating capacity should be used to lift your boat. Cables should be properly rated for
each model. Each cable should be rated above the full weight of the model to be lifted.
An overhead hoist with an appropriate rating capacity should be used. Slings must be six (6) inches and each sling should
have a minimum capacity rating more than the weight of the model that is to be lifted. Use an eight-foot spreader bar on
each sling to prevent damaging side pressure to the deck or gunwale molding.
