available in the Starting and Operation section of this Owner’s Manual. Note that the rudder
extends below the hull of the boat. This is critical to remember when boating in shallow water or
water with obstructions. Even if the water appears deep enough for the hull, it may not be deep
enough for the rudder to pass unimpeded.
Do not operate the boat in water too shallow for the rudder to operate.
Obstructions can also damage the rudder, rendering it inoperable.
Such damage is not covered under warranty.
A single-track n is standard on Axis models. A second n may be added as an option. The
n adds tracking stability. As with the rudder, it extends below the hull and should be considered
when boating in shallow water.
The strut and strut housing are tted from the drive train to the propeller to create the
propulsion that moves the boat forward and aft. As with the rudder, these components extend
below the hull. Operation in water that is too shallow or among obstructions can damage the
components and make it impossible to continue boating until xed.
Do not operate the boat in water too shallow for the strut, strut
housing and propeller to operate. Obstructions can also damage these
components, rendering them inoperable. Such damage is not covered
under warranty.
Dierent
conditions, in-
cluding altitude
or specic char-
acteristics of in-
dividual bodies
of water can
impact boating
enjoyment. If
environmen-
tal conditions
are suspected
of negatively
impacting pro-
pulsion, discuss
this with an
authorized
Axis dealer, who may be able to recommend minor changes to the propeller, or replacement of a
propeller at the consumer’s choice and expense, that will improve circumstances for that partic-
ular application. There are limits to changes that are approved by Axis engineers. Changes that
exceed those standards will void the warranty. Extreme changes can also alter the safe handling
of the boat and its maneuverability.
Consumers may choose to change characteristics of propellers or even
replace them. Axis recommends doing so only after consulting with an
authorized Axis dealer as exceeding Axis standards for the propulsion
system will void the warranty.
Never allow anyone to be in the water forward of the bow or behind the boat when the boat
engine is running, even if the boat is in neutral gear. If the shifter/throttle is inadvertently put
into gear, the boat could potentially run over persons in the water. A moving propeller is ex-
tremely dangerous and could cause serious injury or death.
