Ladder-Transom
Your vessel is equipped with
a stainless steel transom
boarding ladder sometimes
referred to as a swim ladder.
Be sure all body parts are clear
of the ladder when folding
the ladder up or down and
repositioning it under the
swim platform. Make sure
the ladder is inserted into the
locking tabs.
Be sure to read and understand
any written warnings posted
at the helm area or swim
platform regarding ladder
load limits and CO (carbon
monoxide poisoning).
Always turn the engine off
and remove the ignition
keys while people are in
the water near the boat, or
using the swim platform and/or bow and transom boarding
ladders. Also, insist people always use the ladder and never use the
stern drive ventilation plate for entering and exiting the vessel.
Again, safety fi rst!
Periodically rinse the ladder frame and rungs to keep the device clean
and in a non-slip condition. Salt water usage will require even closer
attention to cleaning cycles over fresh or brackish water.
Note: Before cruising, ensure the ladder is stowed properly.
