SWIM PLATFORM
The swim platform is used with the boarding ladder to
enter and exit the water. Never dive from the swim plat-
form or swim under it. The swim platform is not intended
to be used for storing heavy objects. Keep the platform
surface free of objects to prevent bodily injury due to fall-
ing. Periodically inspect all swim platform fasteners and
stanchions under the platform for tightness and corrosion.
Replace parts as needed.
Do not exceed the swim platform recommended pound-
age capacity.

THE SWIM PLATFORM
STRUCTURE OR HARDWARE.
If installed, use the swim platform cleats for temporary
tying only such as stopping at an on-the-water restaurant
or fuel dock. Use the other deck cleats for permanent
moorings. When securing lines leave enough slack for lo-
cal tidal changes.
Never use the swim platform cleats for towing!
Never attempt to lift the boat using the swim platform
cleats or any other cleats on the vessel! See the section
on sling markers. Never swim around or under the swim
platform while the engines are running due to the effects
of carbon monoxide poisoning. Read and understand
all CO labels in the safety on board chapter.
