not let this happen freely but rather pay out the line slowly.
13. Using the davit control buttons let the cable out. Be carful that the dinghy is clear
of QUE SARA's railing. At that point, continue to lower the dinghy to the water.
14. Once the dinghy is on the water, have your crew tie it to QUE SARA and make
sure fenders are between the Whaler and QUE SARA.
15. Lower the cable until your assistant can release the harness from the hoist cable.
IMMEDIATELY raise the hoist CABLE IN until the cable weight is within 3 feet
of the boom. Do not let the cable and weight swing free. The cable, boat, or crew,
can be damaged by it swinging. Rotate the davit inboard to its original stored
position. Re-attach the hook to the hook keeper. Be sure never to allow the
retrieval of the hook end without the weight applied as the line may tangle on the
spool.
To operate the dinghy, see Starting the Motor below.
RE-LOADING DINGHY TO THE FLYBRIDGE
No heavy gear or people should be in the dingy when it is being moved on or off
QUE SARA. Excess gear could overload the hoist or cause failure.
The hoist is heavy machinery and is inherently dangerous. All
precautions must be followed to avoid damage and/or serious
injury. Make sure your crew knows exactly what you want them
to do and not to do before you start loading!
Never allow passengers to be in the dinghy when it is being
hoisted.
Never allow anybody to be directly underneath the dinghy when
it is being hoisted.
Only use the hoist in calm water. DO NOT hoist the dinghy up or
down while QUE SARA is rocking to prevent collision with QUE
SARA or crew.
Preparation
1. Remove all loose gear from the dinghy
2. Tie the dinghy to QUE SARA's starboard side with the bow of the dinghy
facing towards the stern of QUE SARA.
3. Attach the harness. Make sure all 3 cables are running free and all connectors are
closed.
