Best way is to
lift your dinghy out of the
water on a
halyard or
davits when you are not actively using it - like at night. This also keeps the
outboard motor zinc from quickly disappearing and then damaging the lower unit of the
outboard. Make a
bridle from 1/4" nylon line and use a
halyard to
lift the
boat out of the
water.
- - In the
Caribbean you want to do this and also have the dinghy about 7 to 9 feet above the water so that thieves cannot get to your
motor and steal it.
