2023 OWNER’S MANUAL
SWIM STEP
Some models are equipped with a swim step to assist in re-
boarding. To re-board a boat utilizing the swim step, deploy the
swim step by releasing the latch, located at the center recess of
the swim platform and unfold the step aft and down. Ensure that
everyone is clear of moving parts and lower the Swim Step to the
fully extended position. Using a three-point contact, ascend onto
the platform. Swim Step is limited to 400 pounds total weight.
Deploy the Swim Step by releasing the latch located at the center
of the platform recess, situated at the forward most point of the
Swim Step. Ensure that everyone is clear of the moving parts and
lower the Swim Step to the fully deployed position. Using a three-
point contact, ascend onto the platform.
UNASSISTED
To re-board a boat without a ladder or swim step, place both
hands, palms down, onto the top of the platform. Using your legs
to kick swiftly upwards, pull your body and legs up over the edge
of the platform. Additional leverage may be gained by using the
grab handles integrated into the swim platform. Lean into the
platform and swing one leg up onto the platform. Use the grab
handles to provide support while pulling the rest of your body onto
the platform. Stand up, maintaining three points of contact with
the boat, and use the transom step to climb back into the cockpit
of the boat.
Do not allow arms, legs, or body to extend below
the swim platform or transom. Metal surfaces mounted on the hull
may cause minor to moderate injuries.
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 MasterCraft dealer
to be certain that the hull has not been weakened. Even if water
does not intrude initially, diculties 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
dicult to estimate how long it will take for enough water to intrude
and sink the boat.
