Exterior Equipment
Dive/Boarding Door
A boarding door is located in the starboard hull
side. The door provides divers and swimmers easy,
unobstructed access to the water and cockpit. It
also makes boarding and exiting the boat much
easier in many docking situations.
Friction hinges secure the door in the open position
and a special latch mounted on the inboard side
of the door secures it when it is closed. The door
latch has a spring loaded safety pin. When the
door is closed, make sure the latch is completely
closed and that the safety pin is snapped into place
to prevent the latch from opening accidentally.
The door should only be opened when the boat
is not in motion with the engines shutdown.
When not being used, the door must be closed
and latched. Never leave the side door open or
unlatched.
Notice:
Periodically inspect door hinges and hardware
for wear, damage or loose fit. Any problems
found should be corrected immediately.
WARNING
THE BOARDING DOOR SHOULD BE CLOSED AND PROPERLY
LATCHED WHENEVER THE ENGINES ARE RUNNING.
NEVER OPEN THE DOOR WHILE UNDERWAY OR IN
ROUGH SEA CONDITIONS. IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS, AN
OPEN BOARDING DOOR COULD ALLOW A SUBSTANTIAL
AMOUNT OF WATER TO ENTER THE COCKPIT CREATING A
POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION.
OPERATING THE BOAT UNDER POWER WITH THE BOARDING
DOOR OPEN MAY ALLOW PERSONS TO FALL OVERBOARD
AND INTO BOAT PROPELLERS OR TO BE LOST IN OPEN
WATER. ALWAYS CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE DOOR IS
PROPERLY CLOSED AND LATCHED BEFORE STARTING
THE ENGINES. NEVER OPERATE THE BOAT UNDER POWER
WITH THE DOOR OPEN.
Dive Boarding Ladder
The boarding ladder is mounted to brackets in
the ladder/fire extinguisher storage compartment
when it is stored. To use the ladder, make sure
the engines are off. Then remove the ladder from
the storage clips. Open the dive door and slide the
studs into the special receivers in the door jam.
Rotate the ladder to the down position. Release the
strap securing the steps and pull the bottom step
to extend the ladder. To prevent damage to the
ladder or hull side, the ladder must be retracted
and removed from the door jam and properly se-

WARNING
MOVING PROPELLERS ARE DANGEROUS. THEY CAN
CAUSE DEATH, LOSS OF LIMBS, OR OTHER SEVERE INJURY.
DO NOT USE THE DIVE DOOR LADDER WHILE AN ENGINE IS
RUNNING. STOP THE ENGINES IF DIVERS OR SWIMMERS
ARE ATTEMPTING TO BOARD. ALWAYS PROPERLY STORE
THE LADDER BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINES.
