LADDERS
Models
Standard on select models; optional on select X, XT, and NXT
models.
Purpose
Ladders allow for easier boarding of the boat from the water. A
ladder mounted to a swim platform should only be used for on-
boarding when the boat engine is OFF. See the Safety section
of this Owner’s Manual for additional details regarding carbon
monoxide poisoning.
Location
Ladders are mounted under the swim platform.
Operation
Ladders have a stowable position and an operational position. The
swim platform ladder stows under the swim platform. Slide it out
and extend the sections. Stow it by sliding back under the swim
platform and engaging the slide lock.
Be sure to stow ladders securely prior to operation of the boat.
Pressure from the water while underway could damage the ladder.
Special Attention
When opening or closing the ladder, be careful not to pinch fingers
or other skin between the ladder joints or the ladder and the
platform. All ladders feature a catch system to hold the ladder in
position and provide protection for people as they board.
Troubleshooting
If the ladder will not extend or fold back into stowed position, take
the boat to an authorized MasterCraft dealer for repair.
