Safety On Board
If the skier falls, return promptly to retrieve him, circling wide
from the starboard side, to bring his rope within easy grasp. See
illustration.
Insert the ski tow line as shown for safe operation. It
provides a tight fastening for skiing while allowing the
line to be readily removed if needed. Check your tow
line for abrasion and tow ring for tightness periodically.
The illustration shows a typical hookup.
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!
DO NOT USE SKI TOW FITTING
FOR LIFTING OR PARASAILING.
THE FITTING COULD PULL OUT OF DECK.
On extended swim platforms you should
make periodic inspections of the swim
ladder and swim platform hardware to
ensure that all connectors and fi ttings
are tight and free from corrosion. Check
the laminated fi berglass under platform
supports for fatigue and cracks. Never
run the boat with someone holding on
to or standing/sitting on the platform. Use heed when operating the
boat in reverse to insure that water does not accumulate excessively on
the platform especially in rough seas or strong currents. Do not exceed
the platform recommended maximum capacity label!
