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, rotate the latches away from
the transom and align the pin with the notches to pull it out. Depending on model, either
lift or slide back on the platform. To replace, reverse these steps. Be sure the latches are
securely fastened.
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.
To access the optional swim step ladder, lift up on the
handle of the rubber strap to unhook it then pull it down
and pull the ladder out. To replace, reverse these steps.
Make sure the swim step locks are fully locked before
launching the boat.
