The choice of bar stand size should be based on the total weight of the boat and on the weight distribution. Be sure to find out where the engine is placed.

Boats with stern drive installations are always stern-heavy. For single engine installations the weight distribution should be approximately 30/70 (stem/stern) as a rough estimation. Outboard motorboats tend to have a slightly better weight distribution since the motor is not usually as heavy as a corresponding stern drive.

Note! The weight of the boat must include fuel, (water), supplementary equipment etc.

Boat builders generally specify the weight of an empty boat. A fully equipped boat is approximately 20% heavier.

When jacking up the boat two bar stands are always needed (bow + stern). The width of the bar stand should be about the same width as the bottom of the boat. Peaked boats may need slightly higher supports.

If in doubt – consult the manufacturer.
