! CAUTION
Do Not use cleats for lifting.
BOW AND STERN CLEATS: (See Figure 2.1.1)
Cleats must not be used for lifting the boat, they
are intended for docking or mooring use only.
BOW AND STERN EYES: (Figure 2.1.2). The bow
eye must be used to haul the boat onto a trailer.
The stern eyes must be used as tie down points for
trailering the boat. The bow and stern eyes may be
used for short term lifting of the boat such as for
service. Long term lifting with the bow and stern
eyes may cause stress on the fiberglass and gel
coat.
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.

ASSENGER
1. When the boat is moving, all passengers must
be in the cockpit area or in the cabin and must
be on seating provided or, if standing, holding
on firmly (See Figure 2.3.1).
While the person at the wheel must alert
passengers before any sudden or erratic boat
movement, such as crossing wakes, rapid turns,
sudden acceleration or deceleration, etc., an
emergency action may be necessary before
passengers can be warned. All passengers
must be prepared for rapid boat movement and
be able to hold on to prevent loss of balance.
2. When persons are on the working deck area,
for anchoring, mooring or in emergencies, they
must be holding on and be positioned so as to
prevent falling. In bad weather and/or rough
water, if it is essential to be on deck, persons
should be closely tied to cleats, railing
