Lifting the Boat Out of the Water
Make sure there are no sharp edges under the boat on the place where you
want to lift the boat out of the water. Try to use the handgrips and bow handle
for lifting instead of the lifelines and towing D‑rings.
Towing the Boat
!
WARNING
Avoid serious injury or death. Passengers and objects can easily be tossed
about or ejected from the boat while under tow. Never tow an inflatable boat
with passengers on board.
IMPORTANT: When towing an inflatable boat:
• Never tow your craft with people aboard.
• Frequently inspect the towing line.
• Periodically check the towing conditions and that the craft is not taking in
water.
IMPORTANT: Bow handles and handgrips should not be used for towing,
anchoring, or mooring.
If the inflatable boat is to be towed by another boat, the inflatable boat must be
empty. Remove the outboard, fuel tank, and equipment. Attach a line between
the towing rings to form a bridle. Attach a towing line to this bridle and tow the
boat at slow speed. Towing this way makes the boat steady and secure behind
the towing boat, and helps to avoid damage to your Quicksilver boat.
Lifting the Boat
When using a hoist to lift the boat, attach the hoist to the three lifting points in
the boat. The number and location of lifting points depends on the Quicksilver
boat model.
Empty the boat of all equipment and make sure no passengers are onboard
during lift. Remove the drain plug during the time the boat is stowed to allow
water to run out.
