11.1 Deck Rails & Deck Hardware
The rail system and hardware fittings have been
selected and installed to perform specific func
-
tions. Hand rails are installed to provide a hand-
hold in certain areas of the boat. You should make
sure you keep at least one hand on the handholds
as you move about the boat.
Fenders or mooring lines should be secured to
the cleats and not to rails or stanchions. The
cleats on your boat are retractable and flush with
the deck when not in use. To use the cleats, pull
up on the center of the cleat until it locks in the
mooring position. Be sure a clear lead exists
when running dock lines or anchor lines. A line
inadvertently run around a stanchion or over the
rail could cause damage.
Important:
All fittings must be periodically inspected
for loose fit, wear or damage. Any problems
should be corrected immediately.

DESIGNED FOR TOWING PURPOSES. THE MOORING
CLEATS ARE NOT TO BE USED FOR TOWING ANOTHER
VESSEL OR HAVING THIS BOAT TOWED.

the roller and connected to the anchor chain. A
chain binder is provided between the windlass and
the roller to secure the anchor. Always make sure
