11.2 Hull
Engine Mounting System
Your Everglades is equipped with an engine
mounting system that is integrated into the hull
and stringer system that is designed to distribute
the stresses of engine weight and thrust through-
out the entire hull.
The engine hoses and cables or the transom gel
coat can be damaged by tilting the engine to the
full up position with the engine turned to the
wrong position. You should monitor the engine
as it tilts to determine best full tilt engine position
for your boat.
Swim Platform and Boarding Ladder
Fiberglass swim platforms are mounted to the both
sides of the transom. A grab rail on each platform
provides a hand hold while boarding.
A telescopic boarding ladder is recessed into the
port swim platform. To use the ladder, push the
ladder forward slightly and lift to release the lad-
der from the slots in the bracket that secure it
in the stored position. Then pull the ladder out
of the recess and rotate it to the down position.
The ladder must be retracted and secured in the
recess before starting the engine.
