Hardware
Cleats
Your boat is equipped with 7 standard cleats. They are installed to provide areas to permit you to tie off
the boat at dockside, tie off to another boat that is anchored, secure bumpers/fenders, and/or tie off the
anchor (when dropped) to prevent the line from pulling on the optional windlass, etc. You should never
use the cleats for towing another boat or skier.
Bow Rail
The bow rail is constructed of stainless steel. The railing, which is through bolted to the gunwale, is
provided for safety. Never use the bow rail to tie off to anything heavier than a bumper/fender. Do not
use the bow rail for anchoring, or to tie off to the dock or another boat. Do not use the bow rail to tow
another boat or skier. Never stand on the bow rail or use it as leverage when pulling up an anchor, a fish
or any other objects. Do not use the bow rail to tie off and/or secure a large catch, etc.
Grab Rails
Three stainless steel grab rails have been installed to provide safe boarding and navigation on the boat.
A grab rail is located next to the port helm seat as you step down into the cabin and two more are
installed at the aft jump seats. Grab rails are also built into the ladder on the half dive platform.
Bow Pulpit with Anchor Roller and Rope Locker Storage
An aluminum anchor roller has been installed at the bow pulpit. The anchor (not included as standard
equipment) can be held on the line beneath the bow pulpit. This allows you to move about the bow area
safely without tripping over the line or anchor.
Half Dive Platform With Ladder
A half dive platform is installed on the port side of the transom and includes a
stainless steel dive ladder with built in grab rails.
Gunwale Trim / Rubrail
A white rigid vinyl gunwale trim with a vinyl insert is installed at the juncture of the deck and hull. This
durable trim provides a nice clean look and serves as somewhat of a cushion when you are docking,
coming along side another vessel, etc.
See the Service and Care section of this manual for cleaning recommendations.
Drain Plug
Before launching the boat, always make sure that the drain plug has been installed in the fitting on the
transom at the keel. If your boat is being transported, remove the drain plug once the boat is secured on
the trailer so that any excess water can be drained via the fitting. Never remove the drain plug when the
boat is sitting static in the water.
If you live in an area where it snows and you are storing your boat on a lift during the winter, make sure
that you remove the drain plug. When the snow melts, if the float switch for the bilge pump happens to
fail, it could flood the bilge and damage electrical components in the bilge.
