On the tabs that connect the floats at the chosen position, tie the loose end of
the line that is attached to one of the 2 single blocks. You can also loop this
line through an exterior lug connector which will give you more strength. The
best knot to secure this line is a bowline. The end result of this step is shown
to the right.

If your dock is extra wide or has an expansion pack. You can remove a con-
necting pin at the desired mounting point and while putting your weight on the
#2 comer, slide the line under the #3 and #4 tab and install the line there. You
can then install the connecting pin and the line will fit between the connecting
pin and the floats as shown below. Make sure the line is around the tabs
and not just the connecting pin.

   

Back block tied with a bowline knot

> Do the previous step on the other side of the dock. So that you have both
pulleys mounted as shown below.

> Take the longer line that is supplied and tie a loop in one end.
» Attach the loop to the snap hook on the winch and run it through both of the

back blocks and then back up to the winch again. Tie a loop in the loose end and
attach that to the snap hook as well.

Block tied to lugs at Connecting Pin

The result is shown at the right. The overall
length of the line will probably need to be
adjusted and can be easily done so by ad-
justing the size of the 2 loops that get at-
tached to the snap hook

The back-winch works by looping the center
part of the line over the bow eye of the boat.
The 2 end loops are then attached to the
winch.

Secure a safety line to the boat and then
you can wind the winch which will move the
boat to the stern of the dock

In most cases the boat will only need to be
moved a few inches to a foot and then the
weight shift of someone being in the boat
and putting the boat in reverse will be
enough to slide the boat off the dock

 

In the case of a Jetboat—you will need to winch the boat all the way off the dock and have the drive unit in the water be-
fore starting the engine

NOTE—do not use the winch to secure the craft for long term storage or in
storm conditions. Wave action from the rear could cause the boat to move
forward and make contact with the winch! See pages 21—22.
