If you need to remove the Skeeter boat from the water

without a trailer, use these guidelines:

• Use a sling-type lifting mechanism designed for

lifting boats. The sling should be covered with a

protective material to prevent damage to the hull

gelcoat.

• Use spreader bars to avoid side stress to the hull

that may cause cracks in the gelcoat and

fiberglass.

• Attach guidelines to the bow eye and stern tie-

down cleats to control movement of the boat

during lifting.

• Remove all people and all cargo from the boat.

Drain any excess water from the bilge using the

bilge pump.

• Be sure all people are standing clear, then lift boat

slowly and just far enough to verify that the boat is

securely held and properly balanced. If necessary,

lower the boat again and adjust the slings.

• When ready, lift the boat slowly and carefully.

TRAILERING

The manufacturer of your trailer has provided you with

a vehicle designed for many years of convenient,

trouble-free service. It is up to you to use and care for

it properly, to be sure that it will perform safely and

satisfactorily. Instructions on how to do this are

included in the trailer owner’s manual. Read, learn,

understand, and act on the information included in this

important book. Proper trailer maintenance and safety

procedures are essential to safe and enjoyable

trailering.

Read, understand, and follow the instructions

for trailer ownership and use in the trailer

owner’s manual included with your Skeeter

owner’s package.
