Care must be taken to avoid being in the water forward or aft of the
boat when the engine is running, even if the boat is not in a moving
gear. If the shifter/throttle goes into gear, there may not be time for
people to get out of the way. Propeller edges are sharp. With motion,
propellers can maim or become lethal.
There are two sources for speed that provide speed information to the center screen or
speedometer of the boat: the paddlewheel (standard on all boats) and GPS (optional on all Axis
models). The method to switch between speed sources (paddlewheel and GPS) is explained in
the Instrument Panel, Switches and Buttons section of this Owner’s Manual.
Because this aects the cruise control, be sure that the paddlewheel and GPS operation,
where equipped, is unimpeded. To verify GPS operation is correct, verify that the GPS puck has a
clear line of site to the sky. This is located on the starboard side of the boat, directly forward of
the dash windshield.
The raw-water intake brings water out of the lake or river for cooling circulation in the
engine. (It is circulated and returned to the body of water via the exhaust system.)
Both the paddlewheel and raw-water intake/sea strainer must ALWAYS be free of debris.
Any boating that takes place in brackish water or water with ora, should be interrupted pe-
riodically to be certain that no weeds have become tangled with anything under the hull. See
the Care and Maintenance section in this Owner’s Manual for information on how to properly
remove debris from the raw-water intake/sea strainer.
Debris in the body of water, including naturally occurring vegetation,
can become entwined with the components under the hull. This can
result in damage to the boat, particularly if the debris interferes with
the raw water intake, starving the drive train of necessary cooling
water. Such damage is not covered under warranty.
Models: The paddlewheels are standard on all Axis models, and GPS is optional. All else is
standard.
The swim board provides additional enjoyment of the Axis experience. While
the swim board, can ease movement in and out of the water, Axis reminds users to
exercise caution. When jumping o the boat, always be absolutely certain that there
is suicient depth. Appearances can be deceptive, especially in clear water. Although
the swim board is constructed with anti-skid properties, it is still the responsibility of
users to use care when walking on it, using it to get on-board, using it to get into the
cockpit, standing or sitting on the swim board.
As noted multiple times throughout this Owner’s Manual, never allow anyone to
be on the swim board when the engine is running, due to exhaust fumes.
Never allow anyone to be on the swim board or ladder
when the engine is running, even at idle. Exhaust fumes can
quickly overcome individuals, leading to serious injury or death. More
information is available in the Safety section of this Owner’s Manual.
Additional information regarding the routine maintenance of the swim platform is available
in the Care and Maintenance section of this Owner’s Manual.
Models: All Axis boats are equipped with a swim platform. Under-swim platform ladders are
optional on all models.
