MONTEREY
BOATS
Seasonal Maintenance
BOATS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED FROM IMPROPER
LIFTING AND TRANSPORTING WITH FORK LIFTS.
THE FORKS PLACE EXTREME PRESSURE POINTS
ON THE HULL AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS
STRUCTURAL DAMAGE.
SEVERE GELCOAT CRAZING OR MORE SERIOUS
HULL DAMAGE CAN OCCUR DURING HAULING AND
LAUNCHING IF PRESSURE IS CREATED ON THE
GUNWALES (SHEER) BY THE SLINGS. SPREADERS
ARE NOT REQUIRED IF BELTS ARE NOT CREATING
PRESSURE (CABLE DRUMS FURTHER APART
THAN BEAM OF BOAT). FLAT, WIDE BELTING
SLINGS AND SPREADERS LONG ENOUGH TO
KEEP PRESSURE FROM THE GUNWALES ARE
ESSENTIAL. DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO HAUL
YOUR BOAT WHEN THE SPREADERS ON THE LIFT
ARE NOT WIDE ENOUGH TO TAKE THE PRESSURE
OFF THE GUNWALES.
IMPROPER LIFTING AND HANDLING WITH A FORK
LIFT, CRANE OR TRAVEL LIFT CAN CAUSE SEVERE
HULL AND DECK DAMAGE THAT WILL VOID THE
MONTEREY WARRANTY.
BOATS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY IMPROPER
BLOCKING AND CRADLES THAT DON’T PROPERLY
SUPPORT THE HULL. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE
BLOCKS, BUNKS AND PADS ARE ADJUSTED SO
THEY ARE NOT PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE
LIFTING STRAKES AND ARE PROVIDING ENOUGH
SUPPORT FOR THE HULL. YOU SHOULD ALLOW
ONLY EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONAL BOAT
YARD PERSONNEL TO LIFT, BLOCK OR CRADLE
YOUR BOAT. HULL DAMAGE RESULTING FROM
IMPROPER CRADLE AND BLOCKING SUPPORT
WILL VOID THE MONTEREY HULL WARRANTY.
Supporting The Boat For Storage
A well-made cradle or proper blocking is the best
support for your boat during storage.
When supporting the boat with blocking:
• Make sure the boat is blocked on a level sur
-
face and the bow is high enough so that water
will drain from the bilge, cockpit and exhaust
system.
•
Make sure the keel is supported with large,
solid wood blocks in at least three points.
• Use at least three heavy duty jacks on each
side of the hull and make sure the boat is
level from side to side. The jacks must be on
a solid surface like packed gravel, concrete
or pavement. All of the supports must be set
up properly to prevent the boat from shifting
while it is in storage.
When storing the boat on a cradle:
• Make sure the cradle is well supported and
placed on a level surface with the bow high
enough so that water will drain from the bilge,
cockpit and exhaust system.
• The cradle must be in the proper fore and aft
position to properly support the hull. When the
cradle is designed properly and in the correct
location, the bunks should match the bottom
of the hull and should not be putting pressure
on the lifting strakes.
Preparing The Boat For Storage
• Remove the bilge drain plug.
