International Sling Positions

Post by tcollins2 »

Hi,
Does anyone know exactly where the Travel lift slings should be on a 1990 12M International? Pictures would help or a measurement from a fixed stanchion or something like that.

Hard to see, but the Forward Sling is located between the 2 port lights, and the Rear Sling is located at the rear of the forward vent. Hope this helps. The stickers on the 121 Meter here were faded.

My 2 cents here The rear sling will go under the rear bulk head ( behind the engines) on most boats including Trojans . Front sling is not as critical and sometimes you have to deal with the way the lift is set up ( Hard or imposable to adjust on some older lifts ) On some flybridge boats your restricted in placement due to lift beams and boat structure . Main thing get the rear right and don't worry about the front . A good lift operator will know and when in doubt will look inside the boat . Over the years I have run a few lifts and lifted my share of boats and only broke ...... none :D
