Exterior Equipment
11.3 Hull
Engine Mounting System and Swim Platform
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 engines to
the full up position with the engines turned to the
wrong position. You should monitor the engines
as they tilt to determine best full tilt engine posi-
tion for your boat.
A swim platform built into the engine mounting
system is standard on your boat.
Stern Boarding Ladder
A telescopic boarding ladder is recessed into the
swim transom. To use the ladder, release the re-
taining pin, pull the ladder out of the recess and
rotate it to the down position. Unfold the steps.
The ladder must be retracted and secured in the
recess before starting the engines.
MOVING PROPELLERS ARE DANGEROUS. THEY CAN CAUSE
DEATH, LOSS OF LIMBS OR OTHER SEVERE INJURY. DO
NOT USE THE SWIM PLATFORM OR SWIM LADDER WHILE
AN ENGINE IS RUNNING. STOP THE ENGINES IF DIVERS OR
SWIMMERS ARE ATTEMPTING TO BOARD. ALWAYS RETRACT
AND PROPERLY SECURE THE LADDER BEFORE STARTING
THE ENGINES.
Trim Tabs
The trim tabs are recessed into the hull below the
transom. The trim tabs are an important part of
the control systems. Please refer to the Helm
Control Systems chapter for detailed information
on the operation of the trim tabs.
Underwater Lights
The LED underwater lights are mounted in the
transom, below the water line. The lights are
activated by the Underwater Light switch at the
helm and should only be used when the boat is in
the water with the lights submerged.
