2016 OWNERS MANUAL / 0245
Special Attention
On the X2, X10, X30, X46, and XSTAR models, attitude adjustment
plates are limited to seventy-five percent (75%) maximum exten-
sion when the boat speed exceeds twenty miles per hour (20 mph)
or thirty-two kilometers per hour (32 km/h).
On the X20 model, attitude adjustment plates are limited to sev-
enty-five percent (75%) maximum extension when the boat speed
exceeds twenty miles per hour (25 mph) or forty kilometers per
hour (40 km/h).
On the X23 model, attitude adjustment plates are limited to eighty-
five percent (85%) maximum extension when the boat speed ex-
ceeds twenty miles per hour (25 mph) or forty kilometers per hour
(40 km/h). Maneuvering a boat with the attitude adjustment plate
extended requires practice to master. Initial times running with the
attitude adjustment plate extended should be done at low speed
with plenty of room. This is critical to learning how the attitude ad-
justment plate affects control and maneuverability, especially when
teaming the attitude adjustment plate with surf tabs.
Additional Special Attention
DO NOT use the attitude adjustment plate(s) to board the boat. The
edges are sharp and can easily slice through skin. The plate(s) is also
not sturdy enough to withstand many people’s body weight. Damage
to the plate(s) in this manner is not covered under warranty. Use only
boarding ladders and swim platforms to board from the transom side
when boats are equipped with an attitude adjustment plate(s).
Never use the attitude adjustment plate(s) to board or assist
in boarding the boat. Sharp edges can cut individuals, causing
potentially serious bleeding. Damage to the plate(s) from people
using it to board the boat is not covered under warranty.
Additional Special Attention
Care should also be taken when backing up the boat in shallow
water, removing boats from the water on steeply pitched access
areas, or backing up with the boat on a trailer. The attitude
adjustment plate(s) does not fold or retract, and it may require
additional clearance to avoid damage to the plate(s). Resulting
damage from failure to follow instructions is not covered under
warranty.
Care must be taken to ensure that there is always sufficient
clearance around the attitude adjustment plate, whether it is in
the water or out, particularly on a trailer. The attitude adjustment
plate(s) extends beyond the boat transom and is not foldable or
retractable. Damage to the plate(s) from failure to allow sufficient
clearance is not covered under warranty.
