Transom Ski Tow Ring; Maintenance; Windshield - Scarab SB Series Owner's Manual

C. Transom Ski Tow
The stainless steel transom ski tow is mounted on
the transom above the swim platform. Scarab recom-
mends no more than two skiers be pulled behind the
boat at any time. See Figure C4.
NOTICE
Refer to A-13 Water Sports of the Boating Safe-
ty & Information section of this manual often.
Figure C4: Transom Ski Tow
When pulling a tube, skier or wakeboarder
always have an observer,proceed with only as
much speed as required, and follow the observ-
er's instructions.
Pulling a tube, skier or wakeboarder makes
the boat handle differently and requires greater
skill. Unless absolutely necessary, do not
make tight, sharp turns. Keep a safe distance
from docks, swimmers, other craft or objects.
Be advised that serious injury can result if the
tow rope becomes slack during a tight turn or
when circling. The rope could become wrapped
around the neck or limbs of a person.
Do not use ski tow fitting or arch (if applicable)
for lifting or parasailing. Fittings could pull out of
deck resulting in serious injury or death.
Boat Equipment - Section C
To prevent personal injury or damage to the
boat, DO NOT tow more than two water skiers
with the transom mounted ski tow ring.
NOTICE
Skier's weight, boating conditions, amount of
gear, and operator's experi ence will affect the
num ber of skiers which can be pulled.
D. Maintenance
The majority of the hardware installed is made of
stainless steel. Regardless of the type of hard ware
used, periodic mainte nance is necessary.
The manufacturer of the hardware recommends the
following when washing your boat:
1. Rinse the hardware with fresh water after each
exposure to saltwater.
2. Periodically wash the hardware with mild soap,
warm water, and a sponge. Then dry it with a soft
cloth.
3. Avoid cleaners, abrasives, waxes, and most of all,
do not use steel wool.
NOTICE
All fittings must be periodically inspected for
loosening, wear, and damage. Prob lems should
be corrected immediate ly!

WINDSHIELD

A windshield is available on most Scarab models.
See Figure C5. The windshield consists of tem pered
safety glass and the wind shield frame may consist of
either a painted, powder coated or anodized alumi-
num (depending on the model). For easy accessibility
to and from the bow, a walk-thru center windshield is
standard. Stainless steel supports or braces are used
in most of the windshield assemblies.
