Means of
Re-boarding
There are several ways to re-board an Aviara boat from the
water. Ladders are offered to assist in re-boarding. Re-boarding
ladders are mounted to the swim platform. To re-board using
a ladder, deploy the ladder and use it to climb up into the boat
or onto the swim platform. Always maintain three points of
contact with the boat when using a ladder to re-board the boat.
For instructions on deploying a ladder, refer to the Ladders
section of this Owner’s Manual.
Running Aground or
Striking Underwater
Objects
Ascertain whether there is damage to the hull. If water can
be stopped from entering the boat, cautiously return to dock.
Have the boat checked out by your authorized Aviara dealer to
be certain that the hull has not been weakened. Even if water
does not intrude initially, difficulties may occur later.
If water is entering the boat after running aground or striking
an underwater object, call or signal for assistance. Abandon
ship, if necessary. Do not attempt to out-run a significant
leak, as it can be difficult to estimate how long it will take for
enough water to intrude and sink the boat.
In-Water Activities
Safety
Individuals in the water are obligated to be as aware of the
fundamental safety rules as operators. Remember that the
majority of in-water injuries are the result of impacts with other
objects, so always look where you are going, and be aware of
what is going on around you.
PROPELLER(S) MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Shut off the engine(s) when near persons in the water, prior
to using sunpads, the swim platform or the boarding ladder.
