3.4 Lifting and trailering
Treat your boat well even on land.
You and your boat would rather be on the water, but sometimes you need to lift and transport your boat for maintenance, out-of-the-season storage, or to another location.
It is recommended you use a professional service, unless you’re skilled enough and have the right type of equipment for the task.
The boat may tip or the lifting straps may slide during lifting if the straps are not attached properly or if the loads move and disturb the balance of the boat.
Empty the bilge and waste water tanks and remove any unnecessary load from the boat.
Do not hook the boat through the aft wings as the straps may slide away.
Lift the boat only from the recommended lifting points.
Always use spreader bars when lifting the boat. They distribute the weight of the boat over the two lifting points. Make sure the spreader bars are long enough to protect the hull and side terraces from damage.
Trailering a large load can be a traffic hazard.
Use a trailer that is suitable for the boat.
Do not exceed the trailer capacity.
Secure the boat and the trailer properly.
Make sure to remain within the limits of the maximum mass indicated in Technical specification (mT).
Make sure your vehicle is powerful enough and you know how to maneuver the trailer.
Use the cleats in the bow of your boat to pull your boat onto a trailer.
Attach the boat to the trailer from all cleats of your boat.
