Have a 1995 O.351. This year's haul out will be done with a crane & slings. I cannot seem to find any reference to where to position the slings on the hull. Would anyone have this info please? Thank you

Have you tried calling the Beneteau factory or a dealer?

Hello Joe
Well I did contacted them for some other issue and they were absolutely of no help, saying my 1995 351 is too old for there data base...... any other suggestion?
I had found (a while ago) a pdf version of the owner's manual with the exact info but lost it when my iPad crashed on me : (

On the bulkhead lines forward and bulkhead/companionway steps aft is always a good bet.

That reminds me. Put your slug in for the knot meter (Paddle wheel) before turning the boat over to the yard.

Attached are the lifting points for the 351. On mine the trailing edge of the bow strap is just in front of the paddle wheel.
Thank you very much Jocker460 that is exactly what we were looking for! :thumbup:
We used those measurements and they seems to match the bulkheads

Thanks again!!

That is a great idea, I do not recall seeing anything that could be used for that in all the stuff that came with the boat... If I knew what I was looking for... I guess it would be some kind of cup that snaps on the paddle wheel?

No, the slug is a replica of the paddle-wheel transducer that replaces the entire device. Fits smooth to the hull bottom.

If you're looking to find one on-line, technically they are called a transducer blanking plug.

How do OEM lifting points assume the straps are attached to the crane hook(s)? I use a bar to attach them. What works doesn't line up with the lifting point marks on the boat. The bar takes the strap stress off of the lifeline stanchions too.

And remember to pull out again once on the hard and let it dry out. It will trap water inside when you put in the blanking plug in the water.

That's not super cool. The lifting points ASSUME that the lift can adjust the distance between the straps. That system you show cannot. And you you need a bar to not crush the hull. Good places use Travelifts.

What you show is how I expected OEMs to design for. Hopefully the OP has a setup like yours or the factory points will only be a starting point. We don't have that setup but our crane has worked for many, many years and is rated for 12K lbs.

Often the plug is attached to the transducer cable with a key ring. That way its where it needs to be when the paddlewheel is pulled. It can't get lost, and aids in making a quick switch with the boat in the water.

Ok! Now I get it! Thanks!
