Docking, lifting and trailering
Lifting
DANGER
!
Cleat Locations Fig. 2.15.1
Use only the lifting points specified. Using the cleats for lifting is dangerous and could cause serious injury or death.
The bow eye is used to haul out and hold your boat onto a trailer. The stern eyes are used as tie down points while trailering the boat. The bow and stern eyes may be used only for short term lifting of the boat. Long term lifting with bow and stern eyes can cause stress on the fiberglass and gel coat For long term lifting or 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.
!
Docking
CAUTION
Your 110 Tender/Sport has has a bow cleat, a bow eye inside the anchor locker and outside on the lower bow of the boat, two transom cleats and two stern eyes (P&S). The cleats are used to secure the boat to the dock while loading/unloading or mooring.
Long term lifting with the bow and stern eyes or lifting with the bow locker eyelet can cause stress on the fiberglass and gel coat and is not recommended.
Please learn the proper way to secure the boat and how best to use the mooring points of your boat.
Whether you are lifting your boat out of the water for routine maintenance or long term storage, consider the following:
Figure 2.15.2 shows the correct method for tieing a belaying knot, commonly used to secure a boat to a dock. This knot will hold fast and is simple to release when needed. Belaying Knot Fig. 2.15.2 (make loop and rotate before pulling over the horn)

• If you are using a professional lifting service, it is prudent to check all credentials and ask for proof of insurance to protect your investment. • Use a wide, flat, belting sling for lifting ,to minimize stress on the gunwales. Careful location of the sling is required. DO NOT PLACE SLINGS WHERE UNDER WATER FITTINGS WILL BE IN CONTACT. • If using a lifting hook, attach to bow eye and the stern lifting eyes mounted on the transom. Always use a spreader bar on the stern eyes and use chafing protection on the top of the transom.
