OPERATING THE BOAT UNDER POWER WITH THE DIVE DOOR
OPEN MAY ALLOW PERSONS TO FALL OVERBOARD AND INTO
BOAT PROPELLERS OR TO BE LOST IN OPEN WATER. ALWAYS
CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE DIVE DOOR IS PROPERLY CLOSED
AND LATCHED BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINES. NEVER
OPERATE THE BOAT UNDER POWER WITH THE DOOR OPEN.
Dive Boarding Ladder
The boarding ladder is mounted to special brack-
ets in the port side of the cockpit when it is in
the stored position. To use the ladder, remove
it from the storage clips and slide the studs into
the special bracket on the hull side just below
the door. The ladder oats and is secured in the
ladder bracket by a spring loaded latch that pre-
vents the ladder from oating off the bracket. To
remove the ladder, push up on the release lever
on the side of the ladder bracket to release the
latch, then slide the ladder up and off the bracket.
To prevent damage to the ladder or hull side, the
ladder must be removed from the bracket and
properly secured in the cockpit storage clips before
starting the engines.
MOVING PROPELLERS ARE DANGEROUS. THEY CAN CAUSE
DEATH, LOSS OF LIMBS OR OTHER SEVERE INJURY. DO NOT
USE THE DIVE DOOR OR LADDER WHILE THE ENGINES ARE
RUNNING. STOP THE ENGINES IF DIVERS OR SWIMMERS ARE
ATTEMPTING TO BOARD. ALWAYS PROPERLY STORE THE
LADDER AND CLOSE THE DIVE DOOR BEFORE STARTING
THE ENGINES.
Stern Livewell
The stern livewell is in the port rear of the cockpit.
The livewell is equipped with a Plexiglas hatch
with a “push to close” latch. It is equipped with
a light, built in overow and recirculation pump.
It is drained by gravity to a thru-hull tting in the
hull. The livewell is supplied seawater by a cen-
trifugal raw water pump located in the systems
compartment. Another pump can be activated by
a switch in the helm panel to recirculate and aerate
the water in the livewell. The overow built into
the side of the livewell automatically controls the
water level. The livewell should be drained and
rinsed clean with fresh water after each use. Refer
to the Raw Water System and Drainage Systems
chapters for more information on the operation
of the livewell.
