You should have identification plates on the side of the boat showing where to lift. Like this https://marinafortin.com/en/product/sli ... ate-23711/

Welcome to the forum........If by chance you have the manual, it may be in there...... Your lift out crew / lift operator should know as they lift hundreds of boats as a rule.

What marina are you getting lifted at ? I hear ya though , you are probably missing the little "lift here" signs, if so have a close look for screw holes where they may have been and broke away over the years. Wow lift out time already huh.

Km1125 had one of those, he will know where they were positioned......

On my 3607 (an '83) there were little "SLING" plastic labels screwed into the hull just above (or was it below?) the rub rail where the forward and aft slings were to be placed. Oh, yea, looking at the photo I just pulled up, there were just above the rub rail. This is not my boat, but just one I ran across online:

Welcome aboard. Usually at the aft bulkhead as long as it's clear of the shafts. Look i the bilge where the shafts go through the hull. I'm pretty sure yours go through aft of the bulkhead. You also have a keel which allows for a margin of error but lifting at the bulkhead is always best. Same goes for the bow. Usually around the base of the windshield is pretty safe but again a quick look inside for a bulkhead or wall is a pretty good indication of a safe lifting area unless there is a clear indication of obstructions like transducers, protruding intake fittings, thruster pods, etc. Where do you keep her?

The manual is not of much assistance. "Always lift the hull using proper lifting straps at the designated sling locations"

I’ve had several boats that did not have the sling marker on them. Any decent travel lift operator can figure out the best places to put them.

Ya I wish all hulls were marked but the reality is that many aren't. That's where experience matters.

Thanks everyone the lift identifier tags were found exactly as described.
