Improper shifting and use of the throttle can result in damage to the
system that is not covered under warranty. The shifter/throttle manu-
facturer has included additional instructions that are part of the own-
er’s packet. Be sure to read and follow the instructions and additional
information to ensure long and safe operation of the boat.
Do not shift from forward to reverse while the engine is at high RPM.
Damage to the transmission will result. When shifting from forward
to reverse, the system requires a brief pause in the Neutral position
to allow the engine to run in its idle position prior to moving into the
opposite gear. Without this brief pause, it can also cause the engine to shut OFF. The subsequent loss of
control can cause damage to the boat and/or injury to persons in or around the boat.
Before starting the engine or engaging the transmission, be certain
that there are no people in the water around the boat.
Models:
All models.
Although unseen by the boat’s occupants, the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)
contributes to the boat’s performance in critical fashion. Never make any modifica-
tions to the throttle control.
Never make any alternations or modifications to any part
of the throttle control system, including the throttle con-
trol. Such changes render the engine and boat warranties
void, and may result in loss of control of the boat, which
could result in serious injury or death.
If, for any reason (unplugged, wire cut, a short, loss of power, or sensor failure,
as examples), any part of the electronic throttle control system fails, the engine controller will
default to idle. The operator will essentially have no control of the throttle and the Engine Fault
alarm will activate.
If this happens, the operator must turn the ignition key to OFF, and then attempt to restart
the engine. The operator may also need to turn the battery isolator switch off and then back on
to reset the system. This will reset the computer area network. If the condition persists, howev-
er, it will be necessary to take the boat to an authorized Axis dealer for repair.
Additional information regarding the throttle control’s safe operation and maintenance is
included in additional separate material that is part of the new-boat informational package.
Models:
All models.
All models are equipped with at least one ski
pylon. The tower has a pylon mount that can be used
for wakeboarding and some other water activities.
Generally, the pylon is located between the lounge
lean-back seats and the sun deck area.
These pylons, which are intended for use in
wakeboarding as well as skiing, are not intended for
any other use.
