3) Leave the bilge pump switch in ON position
4) Do not apply adhesive tape to any part of the boat, especially the Ultra leather cushions.
5) Lock all hatches and portlights
6) If radar is mounted directly to the hardtop, it’s generally not necessary to remove it.

12) Check to see that all Battery Switches and Inverter Switch are OFF
13) Secure and pad all loose gear against movement in transit
14) WARNING Do not under any circumstances load boat stern first on trailer – You’ll be cleaning for weeks.
15) Shrink wrap is not desirable and can cause more trouble to the hull paint job than it protects.
16) Be sure that the boat is properly blocked and rides level so the cockpit will drain underway.
17) Be sure that the topmost part of the boat is less than 13’6” over the road. Driver should check.
18) Have driver sign off on Bill of Lading with a notation that there is no damage (or indicate existing damage)
so as to eliminate arguments upon arrival as to what damage the driver did or did not cause. Retain a copy.
19) Provide driver with detailed contact information of receiving yard and schedule for unloading.
20) Padlock installed with combo given to driver and to receiving yard.
21) Attach a copy of this check list to the BOL, marked, and signed off on.
22) Secure Anchor with rope to bow cleat if no retainer included.
23) Instead of leaving the Bimini hoop aft as shown above, remove the canvas, pull the pins on the aft supports and
hinge the hoops forward against the hardtop, padding the hoops with foam and lashing them forward to the cornerpost
handrails and padding/lashing the stainless supports together.
Note: In addition to aft and midship supports in the locations seen on page 55 (for Boatlifts), the boat
should be supported under the bow as well to counteract the downward pressure of bow tie-downs
