25SC sling positions

[blifland]

Pulling the boat Monday 9/21/15 -
Can anyone please tell me where, exactly, to have the slings placed for a 25SC, when the boat is in the water?
We can probably figure out the aft position from the trailer bunk-cutouts; but do not want the forward sling to use a bad position. I have a good photo of the boat on the trailer - which should probably help.
The travel-lift operator did not know when questioned - said they will figure it out when the boat is at the dock.
Thanks,
Barry in Anancortes

The cutout in the trailer bunks is a SWAG by the trailer company. Has no relation to reality.
For convenience use the cut out spot for the rear sling IF it is not too far forward and set the front sling about 2/3 of the way forward.
Here is a picture (poor) of the sling setup on our R25.

Given that the engine is near the stern most of the weight is back there. So the rear sling wants to be roughly centered under the engine - about 5 feet forward of the transom.
The front sling will be about 2 feet aft of the shorepower plug - give or take, not critical.

Good morning, Barry,
We have had our boat slung in at Cap Sante and they put stickers on the boat to mark where the sling goes while it is on the trailer. Therefore lifting it out of the water, the slings are positioned to the stickers which can be removed once the boat is trailered. We'll be slinging in Tues. Hope to see you there and good luck.

Here are a few photos of our R-25 being lifted via slings... note the positions as best you can... For our R-25 the sling positions were essentially at rear of cabin and in line with the windshields.
