use; to retract, push on the cleat once more.
If the boat will be moored for a period of time or where there is fairly active wave motion, Axis
recommends the purchase of fenders, also available from reputable marine suppliers. Fenders are available
in a range of sizes and materials, but the goal is to protect the boat from damage as a result of motion
against the dock.
Axis recommends the purchase and use of fenders to protect
the boat’s gel coat finish whenever a boat is at risk of contact
with docks or any other object (for example: rafting up with
other boats) that may damage the finish. This kind of damage
is not covered under warranty.
Cleats are used to tie the boat to a dock or to hang fenders. They
are not designed for any kind of towing, including other boats.
Neither should they be used for anchoring, mooring or lifting the
boat; the only locations structurally certified for such “strong
point” requirements are the bow and stern eyes. Abuse of the cleats is likely to result in
equipment failure that will damage the boat, which is not covered under warranty, and can
also result in serious injury or death.
Models: (Optional) Cleats are available as an option on all models.
Bow eye and transom eyes: All boats are equipped with a single bow eye near the apex of the hull
under the bow, and two transom eyes, which are located one each on the port and starboard sides of the
transom. These semi-circular or U-shaped metal connections are made from stainless steel to reduce the
effects of rust and corrosion. On boats that are not equipped with cleats, these eyes are used to tie-up the
boat, and no other part of the boat, including any interior components such as the windshield extrusions or
grab handles should ever be used.
Never tie up the boat, even temporarily, using any component
of the boat except the bow eye, transom eyes and/or cleats
(where equipped). Using any other component could result in
damage to the boat that is not covered under warranty.
Models: All models are equipped with a bow eye and transom eyes.
All boats are equipped with a horn. The purpose of the horn is to sound
an alarm in the event of an emergency, and also to draw attention as you
maneuver the boat in areas where line of sight is questionable or in instances
when attention seems warranted. The horn is activated by a button on the
dash.
Models: All models.
Even when accompanied by an on-board observer to assist in keeping track of
passengers, skiers, boarders and others engaged in activities, operators need to
use the mirror as part of constant alertness to the surroundings. All boats come
with a standard, windshield-mounted and adjustable mirror.
Models: All models are equipped with a mirror.
