SWIM PLATFORMS
Models
All models. Materials vary, and most models also oer 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 dicult. 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 o the platform, can
lead to injury.
PROPELLERS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. Shut o the
engine(s) when near persons in the water prior to using sunpads,
swim platforms or boarding ladders.
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 them 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 platform can be folded.
To do so properly, follow these instructions:
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.
