Emergency Stop Cleats |
|
The solution we recommend is the addition of two or three extra cleats that I dubbed “Emergency Stop Cleats”. These extra cleats provide “Stepping Stones” for your First Mate to use the FLIPP Line™ from cleat to cleat assisting you to keep your boat tight to the dock as you back in. For boaters who want to purchase and install their own cleats, in lieu of having your marina do it, we recommend the 10 ½” that are cast in aluminum with an open base. Price

For trailered boats, make sure the drain plug is on your checklist! It wasn't on mine and I mistakenly expected that the shop who summerized and delivered my boat had installed it. They didn't, and I didn't check for it, and didn't realize it wasn't there 'till I got back to my backyard dock and saw the water coming up thru the ski well. I'm now known as "soggy-boy" after falling off the boat into the lake while trying to install the plug from above; would have been a lot easier on the launch ramp! Fortunately, nothing was damaged but my pride . . . Cheers Dave Keyser, Soggy-boy |
