2016 OWNERS MANUAL / 0251
Ensure that removable ski pylons have securely snapped into place
prior to use. Pylons that are not secure can become detached
during operation. In these circumstances, the pylon could hit
persons on board or skiers behind the boat, causing injury.
Troubleshooting
If the pylon will not lock into place, check for debris or other
obstructions in the pylon housing. If the housing is clear and the
pylon still will not snap securely, take the boat to an authorized
MasterCraft dealer for service.
SWIM PLATFORMS
Models
All models. Materials vary, and most models also offer optional
styles.
Purpose
Swim platforms provide easy access between the interior of the
boat and the body of water. Care should always be taken by persons
moving between the boat and the water. While the platforms have
been designed to be slip-resistant, they may still become slick,
and footing can become difficult. All movement should be done
with that in mind. Failure to exercise caution can lead to injury. Also,
boisterous play is inappropriate on the swim platform because
injury can occur.
Boisterous or rough-housing behavior on the swim platform, such
as (but not limited to) trying to push others off the platform, can
lead to injury.
Also, the boat MUST be turned OFF any time an individual is on the
swim platform in the water near the stern of the boat. This is the
location for exhaust fumes dispelled from the boat. See the Special
Attention below and the Safety section of this Owner’s Manual for
additional information.
Location
Swim platforms are attached to the boat transom.
Operation
Platforms may be permanently attached to the transom. However,
some platforms feature a bracket that allows the platform to
fold down, reducing the amount of room required for storage.
To determine whether the boat is so equipped, look beneath the
platform and see if there is a bracket with a pin. If so, the swim
