Markers For Slings - Regal 42SC Owner's Manual

MARKERS-FOR SLINGS
Sling markers are located on the forward and aft deck near
the rub rail. These markers provide a safe location to locate
straps to lift the boat with IPS stern drives. Failure to use
marked sling marker locations could cause damage to the
boat structure or IPS stern drive units.
When lifting the vessel close all doors, hatches and port-
lights. Make sure the spreader bars are adjustable enough
to be wider than the sling beam area. This will allow the
slings to hold the weight of the boat properly without
forcing the boat structure inward. Make sure there is no
pressure on the rub rail as the aluminum extrusion shape
can be distorted along with the insert.
Always use a fl at wide belt-style straps as they dis-
tribute and hold the boat weight in a more supported
fashion. Do not use the cable-style straps since they may
cause hull or rub rail damage.
If sling markers are not found on the vessel contact your
closest Regal yacht dealer for further information before
attempting to lift the vessel.
Note: The sling markers are located at the forward and aft
sections of hull on both port and starboard sides. Align
the straps evenly on both port and starboard sides before
lifting vessel. This will assist in keeping the hull loads
evenly distributed.
