Yamaha EXCITER Owner's/operator's Manual - Lifting
LIFTING
Do not attach lifting cables to the
bow eye, cleats, waterski tow eye, or
grab handles. Serious damage to
the boat can occur. Use only a sling
designed specifically for lifting
boats.
If you need to remove the Jet Boat from
the water without a trailer, use these
guidelines:
●
Use a sling-type lifting mechanism
designed for lifting boats. The sling
should be covered with a protective
material to prevent damage to the
hull gelcoat.
●
Use spreader bars to avoid side
stress to the hull that may cause
cracks in the gelcoat and fiberglass.
●
Attach guidelines to the bow eye
and stern tie-down cleats to control
movement of the boat during lifting.
●
Remove all people and all cargo
from the boat. Drain any excess
water from the bilge using the bilge
pump.
●
Be sure all people are standing
clear, then lift boat slowly and just
far enough to verify that the boat is
securely held and properly bal-
anced. If necessary, lower the boat
again and adjust the slings.
●
When ready, lift the boat slowly and
carefully.
