MOTOR BOX ASSEMBLY OR
ELECTRIC MOTOR BOX
ASSEMBLY - OPTIONAL
Do not operate the motor box assembly if your ski
tow will interfere with its operation. Damage to the
motor box, hinges, ski tow and lifting unit can result.
Before opening the motor box, make sure the ski
tow is removed, no items are on top of the motor
box and any cushions, inserts or stored equipment
are secure or removed. Use the motor box support
to support the box once it is open. Be sure to return
the support back to its stow position and any
obstructions are cleared before closing the box.
Wind and conditions may allow the motor box to
open beyond its limits; use caution during these
conditions.
The electric motor box assembly is controlled by its
switch at the helm. In the event of battery failure or
storage, the motor box can be opened manually.
A
WARNING
Avoid injury, death or property damage.
Never anchor a boat from the stern, and
keep the boat headed into the waves.

anchor or for towing. If towing,
only use the bow eye or the
stern eyes in a bridle manner.
A
DANGER
To avoid injury or death, do not occupy
or operate an engine when the motor
box is open. The motor box assembly is
a machinery guard.
CAUTION
Avoid injury or damage to your boat. The
motor cover is heavy and may require
more than one person to lift. If lifting the
box manually, position one person at
each grab handle and lift straight up.
