The optional tower lights are forward-facing. These lights can get hot with use. All tower lights are
controlled through a toggle.
Models: All Axis boats are equipped with towers. If the standard tower has been deleted,
there is a covered, two-pronged connector found on the top of the transom of boats without a
tower. The all-around light is plugged into this connector when needed and stored under the rear
passenger seat when not in use.
Underwater Transom Lights: Some boats may be
equipped with optional underwater transom lights, which
are located under the swim platform and add considerable
brightness underwater. This is an added safety feature,
particularly when swimming in shallow water. Note that
these lights are not allowed to be ON while the boat is
underway. As the lights are very bright, do not look directly
into them when they are ON. If the lights overheat, such as
can happen when the lights are left on while out of the water,
the lights will automatically dim. They can be very hot to the
touch at this time and burn skin. The lights are controlled by a switch at the transom.
Underwater transom lights get hot during use, which could result in
burns if touched. The light can remain hot for an extended period of
time after it has been turned OFF.
Models: (Optional) All models.
Several methods of securing boats to shoreline and docks are available.
Although Axis does not sell or provide rope for tie-ups, many excellent marine
aftermarket suppliers offer a wide range of rope for sale. Axis recommends a two-
strand nylon rope. (Three strand may stretch too much and allow the boat to bump
other objects.)
There are several different knots and hitches to secure boats to docks or
shoreline. Axis recommends making the effort to learn these marine-intended
knots and hitches. Consult with your authorized Axis dealer to determine which
ones will work best in the tie-up application you will be using. Some hitches are
intended for only short-term docking, while others work better for longer periods
of inactivity. Always bear in mind that wave action may cause the boat to bump the
shoreline (which could scratch the hull, which is not covered under warranty), or
bumping against a dock, or even potentially other boats (also not covered under
warranty), when selecting the appropriate method to secure the boat.
Cleats: All boat models offer optional pop-up cleats.
Where equipped, the cleats will be located below the
windshield on each side of the deck, and also near both
rear sides.
Although there are multiple marine knots, the cleat
hitch is a special knot used to tie the rope to a cleat. If
a line is not correctly secured on the cleat using a cleat
hitch, it can work itself loose.
Both the standard and pop-up cleats have two “horns”
around which the line is tied. Begin by bringing the line
past the center of the cleat on the outside beneath, and
wrap it around under both horns. Then bring the line
across and back under the first horn again in a fig-
ure-eight. Make another figure-eight loop around the
second horn.
