the engine to allow the engine alternator to recharge the battery.
As noted above, do not attempt to jump-start a dead battery. This is not only dangerous but
puts undue stress on the boat engine’s alternator, which may cause it to fail. This is not covered
under warranty.
Attaching the wrong battery cable or using jumper cables can result
in damage to electrical components on the boat. Such damage is not
covered under warranty.
Fuel levels should be noted prior to an outing. Axis recommends starting all outings with a
full tank and returning to shore to refuel whenever the fuel readings drop into the one-quarter
(1/4) range as falling lower can result in engine issues. (See Fueling information in the Get Ready
section of this Owner’s Manual.) Failure to pay attention to the fuel level can result in the boat
running out of fuel and leaving the boat stranded. Axis does not pay for towing in instances of
fuel miscalculation.
after the outing
Give the engine compartment a general inspection. Look for signs of leaks or
anything abnormal. It’s a simple thing, but often the simplest, quick look can
pinpoint an issue before it becomes a problem.
This is a common sense approach. If you’ve been boating in dirty water,
cleaning out the sea strainer now instead of waiting until the debris inside it has
dried (and therefore become more diicult to remove) makes sense. You want to
check the paddlewheel, rudder, propeller, and driveshaft to make sure they appear
intact, too, especially if you suspect that you may have struck something submerged
during the outing. These are easy checks after the boat has been loaded on the
trailer and removed from the water.
Check anything else on the boat that did not function as expected during the
outing and seek assistance from your authorized Axis dealer about any concerns and
issues prior to the next outing.
