Thepop-upcleatsoperatebypullingonthecleat.Ifitisushwiththedeck,thecleatwillpop
upforuse;toretract,pushonthecleatoncemore.
Iftheboatwillbemooredforaperiodoftimeorwherethereisfairlyactivewavemotion,Axis
recommendsthepurchaseoffenders,alsoavailablefromreputablemarinesuppliers.Fenders
areavailableinarangeofsizesandmaterials,butthegoalistoprotecttheboatfromdamage
asaresultofmotionagainstthedock.
Axis recommends the purchase and use of fenders to protect the boat’s
gel coat nish whenever a boat is at risk of contact with docks or any
other object (for example: rafting up with other boats) that may dam-
age the nish. This kind of damage is not covered under warranty.
Cleats are used to tie the boat to a dock or to hang fenders. They are
not designed for any kind of towing, including other boats. Neither
should they be used for anchoring, mooring or lifting the boat; the
only locations structurally certied for such “strong point” require-
ments are the bow and stern eyes. Abuse of the cleats is likely to result in equipment failure that will
damage the boat, which is not covered under warranty, and can also result in serious injury or death.
Models:(Optional)Cleats are available as an option on all models.
Bow eye and transom eyes:Allboatsareequippedwith
asingleboweyeneartheapexofthehullunderthebow,and
twotransomeyes,whicharelocatedoneeachontheport
andstarboardsidesofthetransom.Thesesemi-circularor
U-shapedmetalconnectionsaremadefromstainlesssteel
toreducetheeectsofrustandcorrosion.Onboatsthatare
notequippedwithcleats,theseeyesareusedtotie-upthe
boat,andnootherpartoftheboat,includinganyinterior
componentssuchasthewindshieldextrusionsorgrabhan-
dlesshouldeverbeused.
Never tie up the boat, even temporarily, using any component of the
boat except the bow eye, transom eyes and/or cleats (where equipped).
Using any other component could result in damage to the boat that is
not covered under warranty.
Models: All models are equipped with a bow eye and transom eyes.
Allboatsareequippedwithahorn.The
purposeofthehornistosoundanalarminthe
eventofanemergency,andalsotodrawatten-
tionasyoumaneuvertheboatinareaswhere
lineofsightisquestionableorininstanceswhen
attentionseemswarranted.Thehornisactivat-
edbyabuttononthedash.
Models: All models.
