Exterior Equipment
The gate is hinged and opened by releasing the
push to close latch at the rear of the gate and
swinging it forward onto the gunnel. The side door
can be opened when the gate is open or closed.
It is secured by a special latch mounted on the in-
board side of the door. The door latch has a spring
loaded safety button. When the door is closed,
make sure the latch is completely engaged and
that the safety button is snapped into the latch
handle to prevent it from opening accidentally.
A recess in the cockpit side allows the door to open
flush against the cockpit when it is open. The door
latch must be in the unlatched, vertical position
to fit into the recess
The door should only be opened when the boat
is not in motion with the engines shutdown. The
door must be secured in either the open position
to the side of the cockpit or in the closed position
with the main latch and safety pin. Never leave
the side door unlatched.
Notice:
Periodically inspect the door hinges and hard-
ware for wear, damage or loose fit. Any prob -
lems found should be corrected immediately.
Side Boarding Ladder
The side boarding ladder is mounted to special
brackets in the side of the cockpit when it is in the
stored position. To use the ladder, remove it from
the storage clips and slide the studs into the special
bracket on the hull side just below the door. The
ladder floats and is secured in the ladder bracket
by a spring loaded latch that prevents the ladder
from floating off the bracket. To remove the lad -
der, push up on the release lever on the side of
the ladder bracket to release the latch, then slide
the ladder up and off the bracket.
To prevent damage to the ladder or hull side, the
ladder must be removed from the bracket and
properly secured in the cockpit storage clips before
starting the engines.
WARNING
THE SIDE BOARDING DOOR AND GATE SHOULD BE CLOSED
AND PROPERLY LATCHED WHENEVER THE ENGINES ARE
RUNNING. NEVER OPEN THE DOOR WHILE UNDERWAY OR
IN ROUGH SEA CONDITIONS. IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS, AN
OPEN DOOR COULD ALLOW A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF
WATER TO ENTER THE COCKPIT CREATING A POTENTIALLY
DANGEROUS CONDITION.
WARNING
OPERATING THE BOAT UNDER POWER WITH THE SIDE
BOARDING DOOR AND GATE OPEN MAY ALLOW PERSONS
TO FALL OVERBOARD AND INTO BOAT PROPELLERS OR
TO BE LOST IN OPEN WATER. ALWAYS CHECK TO MAKE
SURE THE DOOR AND GATE ARE PROPERLY CLOSED
AND LATCHED BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINES. NEVER
OPERATE THE BOAT UNDER POWER WITH THE SIDE
BOARDING DOOR AND GATE OPEN.
