Ladder & Props
Stainless Boarding Ladder
The 2400 Open comes with the Swim/Dive Platform mounted in the stern of the boat.
This platform provides for an easier and safer entry and exit from the boat. To operate
the platform simply lift the metal ladder from the platform, extend the ladder to its full
length, and let the ladder fall into the water.
When washing off your boat at the end of the day make sure to extend the ladder and
wash it off as well, making sure to dry it completely before stowing. Leaving saltwater in
the telescoping tubes may lead to corrosion and affect the useful life of your ladder.
Props
Prop selection on your 2400 Open is determined by your local
Pathfinder Dealer, but all props are based on recommendations
from Pathfinder Boat Company and Yamaha Marine in order to give
your boat maximum overall performance. The needs of your prop
will determine the prop design and size that best fits your
performance requirements.
For instance, a prop with a smaller pitch will increase speed out of
the hole (jumping onto plane) but will produce a decreased overall
speed compared to a prop with a larger pitch. Four bladed props
may increase overall speed or allow the boat to run shallower, and
some props can decrease cavitation at high speeds. Your individual prop needs will
determine the prop design and size that best fits your performance requirements.
Always inspect the engine and prop prior to launching your boat with the engine off. Key
prop issues include tangled fishing line or other types of debris, cracked blades or fluid
leaking out of the seal. Look for fishing line tangled around the prop or lower unit seal.
Consult your Yamah
a Owner’s Manual to address these issues.
Engine Prop
DANGER:
No passenger should attempt to enter or exit the boat by
the ladder or by any other means while the engine is on.
