Post-Operation Checklist

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 doublebraided nylon line. Tie-up only to the tie-down eyes; never use the handrails or windshield frames. Leave a little slack in the lines to allow for some wave movement or tidal action if applicable.

Follow these guidelines when departing: • Very slowly shift into forward at idle speed. • When the stern moves away from the dock, turn the engine away from the dock. • Cast off bow line and back away. • If the wind or current is pushing away from the dock, cast off all lines and allow to drift until you are clear.

After you have removed your boat from the water, do the following: • Fill fuel tank to prevent moisture due to condensation. • Check for fuel, oil and water leakage. • Check the propeller for damage. • Remove the drain plug and allow any water to completely drain. • If applicable, allow the boat to completely dry before replacing any covers.
