G

with a boat hook.
WIND or CURRENT
Before tying-up the boat, be sure to use enough fenders to protect the boat
from damage. If possible, tie-up with the bow towards the waves with a
good quality double-braided nylon line. Tie-up only to the lifting or tie-down
eyes; never use the handrails or windshield frames. If the boat is to be
moored for a long period of time, use chafing protectors on lines to protect
the gelcoat finish. Leave a little slack in the lines to allow for some wave
movement or tidal action if applicable.
Follow these guidelines when departing:
G Very slowly shift into forward at idle speed.
G When the stern moves away from the dock, turn the engine away from
the dock.
Cast off bow line and back away.
G
If the wind or current is pushing away from the dock, cast off all lines and
allow to drift until you are clear.
