Exterior Equipment
Swim Platform and Boarding Ladder
A berglass swim platform is mounted to the port
side of the transom. A platform mounted on the
starboard side is an available option. A grab rail on
the platform provides a hand hold while boarding.
A telescopic boarding ladder is recessed into the
port swim platform. To use the ladder, press the
red button to release the latch that secures the
ladder in the stored position. Then pull the ladder
out of the recess and rotate it to the down posi-
tion. The ladder must be retracted and secured
in the recess before starting the engine.
MOVING PROPELLERS ARE DANGEROUS. THEY CAN CAUSE
DEATH, LOSS OF LIMBS OR OTHER SEVERE INJURY. DO NOT
USE THE SWIM PLATFORM OR BOARDING LADDER WHILE
THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. STOP THE ENGINE IF DIVERS OR
SWIMMERS ARE ATTEMPTING TO BOARD. ALWAYS RETRACT
AND PROPERLY SECURE THE LADDER BEFORE STARTING
THE ENGINE.
Trim Tabs
The trim tabs are located on the transom. The
trim tabs are an important part of the control sys-
tems. Please refer to the Helm Control Systems
chapter for detailed information on the operation
and maintenance of the trim tabs.
Trolling Motor (Optional)
A trolling motor mounted near the bow can be
installed as optional equipment. The features,
operation and controls are unique to the trolling
motor system and options you choose. A special
DC electrical circuit activated by a heavy duty main
circuit breaker in the bow storage compartment
connects the three trolling motor batteries in se-
ries to supply 36-volt current to the trolling motor
system. Make sure the 36-volt circuit is activated
before using the trolling motor and turned off
when the system is not in use. Refer to the 36-
Volt Trolling Motor System section of the Electrical
System chapter for additional information on the
trolling motor electrical system.
A special heavy duty outlet plug with a protective
cover, located in the cockpit liner near the bow,
provides the connection for the trolling motor.
The protective cover protects the plug from the
elements when it is not use. Make sure the cover
is securely in place whenever the trolling motor
power cord is not connected to the plug.
An owners manual will be included with the trolling
motor. It is essential that you read the manual
and be completely familiar with the operation of
the trolling motor and the trolling motor controls
before using your boat.
