Axis Wake Research A20, Owner'S Manual

Page: 81 / 137

Axis boats have multiple storage compartments
available throughout the boat. Locations are noted in the
Quick Reference Guide section of this Owner’s Manual. In
general, storage is available in the bow and under seating.
As much as possible, gear and property brought on-
board, should be stowed in storage compartments to
prevent movement of items during the outing. Unsecured
items could strike and potentially injure individuals on-board
during operation.
Be sure to distribute items throughout the boat and
compensate for the persons on-board. Weight should be as
evenly distributed throughout the boat as possible to avoid negatively affecting control. Never try to close
an overloaded storage compartment. Forcing a compartment closure could result in damage to the boat
that is not covered under warranty.
Anything brought on-board should be stored in a designated
storage compartment if at all possible to avoid the potential of
being struck by an unsecured item while underway. This could
result in serious injury or even death. Items should be evenly
distributed and with attention to the number of passengers and where they will sit. Even
distribution of added weight is critical to a safe operation.
Storage compartments should be cleaned out in accordance with Care and Maintenance instructions
in this Owner’s Manual. At least annually, all compartments require a thorough cleaning. If anything with
residual odor is placed in a storage compartment, or if anything has spilled in the compartment, cleaning
should occur as quickly as possible afterwards.
Never force a compartment closed as overloading could cause
damage to the boat that is not covered under warranty. Storage
compartments should be kept clean. Failure to do so may result
in damage or permanent discoloring and/or odors that are also
not covered under warranty.
Models: All models.
Adding more convenience in many models is a marine-grade, removable cooler. Any cooler of the same
or smaller size will fit in the same location under the seating immediately aft of the driver’s seat, but Axis
recommends marine-grade coolers as they use stainless-steel hardware, which is advisable for the type of
conditions in which it will be used. Although the supplied cooler has a liner that reduces odor absorption,
it is a good idea to clean out the cooler after each use. Odors may still penetrate, and spills can stain. Such
occurrences are not covered under warranty.
Models: A20.
All boats are equipped with cup holders. The cup holders are sized for contemporary, normal-sized
cups. Axis recommends using only cups with covers as boat motion is likely to otherwise slosh liquids out of
the cups. If liquids are spilled into the cup holder, or anywhere else, they should be cleaned up as soon as
practical to prevent any damage to the boat components or anything brought on-board. Such damage is not
covered under warranty.
Models: All models.
