or the bezel ring attachment on the fittings. Store the power cords on the bridge. Refer to the A.C. section below. 2. While still at dock and idling (approximately 700 RPM), shift gears to test response while tied to dock. Shift gears ONLY with throttle in idle. Pause in neutral when shifting to forward or reverse. -

4. Brief crew/line handlers on intentions, critical lines to be applied first. 5. “Kaizen” has a modest amount of momentum. Use neutral a lot, go easy, reverse, and stop the boat if the dock is on the fenders. Continuing will only roll the fenders out of the way and hull scratches will result. -

3. As you are coming slowly up to the can, have the crew holding the boat hook point at the can with the hook so the skipper always knows where it is. 4. Hook the can and bring the ring up to the boat to allow the second crew to thread the ring with the line. - Page 36 3. Attach the dingy line to harness to dinghy (it should be attached when the dinghy is in the cradle. The attachment points are the boy, and stern. (Port and Starboard). 4. Raise the boom using the mast line to a position that centers the line slightly aft of center of the dinghy.
