Swim Step Usage
Deploy the Swim Step by releasing the latch located at the center
of the swim platform recess, situated at the forward most point
of the Swim Step. Ensure that everyone is clear of moving parts
and lower the Swim Step to the fully deployed position. Using a
three-point contact, ascend onto the platform. To return the Swim
Step to storage, hold firmly to the aft and Swim Step, lift the Swim
Step up and rotate it back to a stowed position, while also avoiding
contact with the metal components. To secure the Swim Step in a
stowed position, the latch can be retracted, thereby, enabling an
eortless locking or it can be forcibly closed by slamming it closed
(for example “shutting a door”).
Note*Only oered on fiberglass platforms options, however, it is
not available on all models.
PLATFORM CARE
All Wood Platforms
If shoes are worn when walking on teak wood platforms, they should
be proper boating shoes. Black-soled shoes are likely to scu the
surface, resulting in marks that may be dicult or impossible
to remove. These marks or stains are not covered under warranty.
To maintain its original appearance and finish, teak wood will need
regular cleaning and oiling. Unprotected wood will turn gray and
could split or separate. If this happens, it may void the warranty.
New wood platforms have been sealed and finished with an oil-
based, wood preservative by the manufacturer. Platforms will keep
a new look and last for many years if properly maintained. For best
results oil the platform and allow it to dry before the first use.
If the boat spends a lot of long weekends on the lake with the swim
platform in the water, or if the platform sits uncovered in the sun,
it will need to be oiled more often. The platform should be covered
when not in use or when stored for the winter.
Oiling the Teak Platform
The teak platform will require additional frequent maintenance if
it is regularly exposed to direct sun or water. In most cases, the
platform will require maintenance when it gets a dry frosted look, or
when it quits easily shedding water. A platform that gets a lot of sun
