Malibu Boats’ “Pivoting-Head” ski pylon is
designed for normal water skiing activities:
slalom, jumping, kneeboarding, tricks, and
barefooting. Any other uses such as
parasailing, kite flying, towing pyramids of
skiers, etc., may over-stress the pylon and
possibly cause personal injury and/or
equipment damage. DO NOT overload the
pylon or use it for anything other than
watersports.
Swim Platform
A removable swim step is located on the stern of the boat to provide easy access into and
out of the water for boat skiers and swimmers. To remove, disconnect the pins located on
each side the platform brackets, and, depending on model, either lift or slide back on
platform. To replace, reverse these steps. Be sure the pins are securely attached.
DO NOT use the boarding platform
for any other purpose than boarding
the boat or preparation of entering
the water, and DO NOT use the
boarding platform when the engine
is running.
A spinning propeller or carbon
monoxide can cause serious injury
or death. Stay off and keep away
from boarding platform while
engine is running. The boarding
platform must be attached when
the boat is in use.
