Swim Platform
Periodically inspect the swim ladder and platform support hardware to
insure that all connections and fi ttings are tight and in a non-corrosive
state. Never dive off the swim platform. Do not store or add objects to
the swim platform since additional weight will affect steering and maneuvering
characteristics of the vessel.
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!
DO NOT OPERATE THE BOAT
WITH PEOPLE AROUND, ON TOP OR HOLDING ON TO
THE SWIM PLATFORM STRUCTURE OR HARDWARE.
Remind passengers entering from the water to use caution in safe
boarding. Never use the stern drive to access the swim platform since
serious injury could result from propeller blades and/or stern drive
parts. See the platform illustration on the following page.
