NOTE:
1.3 Mooring to a pontoon
The boat can be moored to a pontoon with at least two mooring lines: one fixed on the bow and one on
the stern.
The mooring rope can be fastened on a fixed and strong point on the boat:
RIBS: Cleat, towing ring, mooring bitt, U-bolts (Do not use points not intended for this purpose: Bolt
rope, handle, guard rail, handrail, D-rings, etc.)
- Foldable boats and tenders: Cleat, U-bolts, suspension brackets, bow handles (Do not use points not
intended for this purpose: Boat rope, handle, small D-ring, etc.).
The boat must be protected from rubbing against the pontoon by fenders.
Mooring lines should not rub against the tube. Should the configuration not allow to avoid this, the
buoyancy tube must be protected in areas of friction (Thick fabric or hose around the mooring rope, for
example).
Any boat moored to a pontoon should be regularly watched and the mooring lines may need to be
strengthened according to the weather conditions.

Anchor points showing visible signs of deterioration must be replaced. They must
therefore be inspected regularly.
A towing cable must always be moored in such a way that it can be released under
load.
Ensure that the mooring ropes, towing cables, chains, anchor lines and anchors
are adequate for the boat's intended use, in particular that the lines or chains do
not exceed 80% of the breaking strength of the corresponding anchor point (see
Volume 2). If necessary, ask your Dealer to assist you.
