cleats. The spring lines keep the boat from

backing into the dock while allowing it to ride

the tide.

Leaving the Dock

Start the engines and let them warm up for

10 to 15 minutes before releasing the lines.

Boats steer from the stern and it is important

you achieve enough clearance at the stern

to maneuver the boat as quickly as possible.

Push the stern off and maneuver to gain

stern clearance quickly. Proceed slowly until

the boat has cleared the dock and other

boats.

Mooring

Approach the mooring buoy heading into the

wind or current. Shift to neutral when you

have just enough headway to reach the

buoy. Position a crew member on the bow to

retrieve the buoy with a boat hook and

secure the line. Keep the engines running,

until the line is secure.

Leaving a Mooring

Start the engines and let them warm up

before releasing the mooring line. The boat

will already be headed into the wind, so

move it forward enough to loosen the line

and untie it. Back the boat away until you

can see the buoy and slowly move away.

Anchoring

Make sure the bitter end of the anchor rode

is attached to the boat before dropping the

anchor. Bring the bow into the wind or cur-

rent and put the engine in neutral. When the

boat comes to a stop, lower the anchor over

the bow. Allow enough rode so that it is at

least 5 to 7 times the depth of the water and

secure the line to a cleat. Use caution to

avoid getting your feet or hands tangled in

the line. Additional scope of 10 times the

depth may be required for storm conditions.

Check landmarks on shore to make sure the

anchor is not dragging. If it is dragging, start

over. It is prudent to use two anchors if you

are anchoring overnight or in rough weather.

Releasing the Anchor

Release the anchor by traversing to the

point where the anchor line becomes verti-

cal. It should release when you pass that

point. If the anchor does not release, stop

the boat directly above the anchor and tie

the line to a cleat as tight as possible. The

up and down movement of the boat will usu-

ally loosen the anchor. Make sure the

anchor is secured and stowed before getting

underway.

10.9 Controls, Steering or

Propulsion System Failure

The engine covers are machinery guards

and must be in place whenever the engines

are running. DO NOT operate the boat with-

out the covers in place unless you are per-

forming a check or maintenance.

If the propulsion, control or steering system

fails while you are operating the boat, bring

both throttles to idle and shift to neutral.

Determine if the boat should be anchored to

prevent the boat from drifting or to hold the

bow into the seas. Investigate and correct

the problem if possible. Make sure the

engines are off before investigating the prob-

! WARNING

SINKING OR DROWNING HAZARD

Anchoring at the stern can pull a boat

under water. DO NOT anchor at the

stern.

! WARNING

MOVING PARTS HAZARD

Contact with moving parts can entan-

gle, cut and cause death or serious

injury. DO NOT come close enough to

make contact with any running

machinery moving parts, i.e., engine

or propeller. Contact can result in loss

of body parts, strangulation, burns

and/or severe loss of blood resulting

in serious injury or death.
