Docking
Practice leaving and approaching the dock to become familiar with the
procedures.
Helpful guidelines when departing from the dock:
• Make sure you have sufficient space to maneuver your boat away from the
dock, other boats and any other obstacles that may hinder your departure.
• Always allow sufficient clearance to the stern for the engine to clear any
obstructions.
• Be aware of other boat traffic, wind and water conditions before departing.
• Make sure the engine is started and you have boat movement under control
before casting off any mooring lines.
• Always proceed slowly when departing from a dock.
Helpful guidelines when docking:
• Make sure you have sufficient space to maneuver your boat around the dock,
other boats and any other obstacles that may hinder your approach.
• Be aware of other boat traffic, wind and water conditions on your approach.
• Always approach from a direction against the wind or current.
• When possible, approach slowly from a 45-degree angle and then steer parallel
to the dock.
• Have fenders, mooring lines and assistance ready.
WARNING!
Never use your
hand, arm or any other part of your body to attempt to keep your boat
from hitting the dock. The boat could push against the dock, causing
severe injury.
• If possible, throw a mooring line to a person on the dock and have that person
secure the bow. With the bow secure, swing the stern in with the engine or pull it
in using a boat hook or the stern line.
• Tie off the bow and then the stern.
