2865 DENALI
Notice: Cold weather can make the clear vinyl material stiff and difficult to stretch to
the snaps. This can particularly difficult with new canvas that has been stored
off the boat. Laying the curtains in the sun for 30 minutes during the heat of the
day will make installing them much easier in cold weather.

Swim Platform and Transom Door
Your Denali is equipped with an integral swim platform located in the stern of the boat. A
transom door is provided to allow easy access to the swim platform. The transom door should
only be operated when the boat is not in motion. The door must be latched in either the full
“OPEN” or full “CLOSED” position. Never leave the transom door unlatched.
Notice: Periodically inspect the transom door fittings for wear, damage, or
loose fit. Any problems should be inspected and corrected immediately.
THE TRANSOM DOOR SHOULD BE CLOSED AND PROPERLY LATCHED
WHENEVER THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. NEVER OPEN THE TRANSOM DOOR
WHILE UNDERWAY OR IN ROUGH SEA CONDITIONS. IN CERTAIN SITUA-
TIONS, AN OPEN TRANSOM DOOR COULD ALLOW A SUBSTANTIAL
AMOUNT OF WATER TO ENTER THE COCKPIT CREATING A POTENTIALLY
DANGEROUS CONDITION.
OPERATING THE BOAT UNDER POWER WITH THE TRANSOM 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 TRANSOM DOOR IS
PROPERLY CLOSED AND LATCHED BEFORE STARTING THE EN-
GINE AND NEVER OPERATE THE BOAT UNDER POWER WITH
THE TRANSOM DOOR OPEN.
