boat or skier. Never stand on the bow rail or use it as leverage when pulling up an anchor, a fish or any other
objects. Do not use the bow rail to tie off and/or secure a large catch, etc.
Grab Rail – Stainless steel grab rails have been installed around the windshield (not applicable with optional rigid
T- top) and on both sides of the motor well for safe navigation on the boat. The boarding ladder on the half dive
platform comes with built in grab rails to provide safe boarding on the boat.

Gunwale Trim / Rubrail

A white rigid vinyl gunwale trim with a stainless steel insert is installed at the juncture of the deck and hull. This
durable trim provides a nice clean look and serves as somewhat of a cushion when you are docking, coming
along side another vessel, etc.
See the Service and Care section of this manual for cleaning recommendations.

Cockpit / Deck Drains

There are two (2) cockpit/deck drains in the aft area of the cockpit that
allow excess water in the cockpit to drain overboard via thru hulls on each
side of the boat. To ensure that there is no blockage in any of the hoses
connected to the drains, it is recommended that you occasionally run
water through each of the cockpit drains and visually inspect the thru hulls
to verify that water flows freely and that there is no blockage. To trouble
shoot, check the hoses for leaks and make certain that all hose
connections are secure.

Drain Plug

Before launching the boat, always make sure that the drain plug has been installed in the fitting on the transom at
the keel. If your boat is being transported, remove the drain plug once the boat is secured on the trailer so that
any excess water can be drained via the fitting. Never remove the drain plug when the boat is sitting static in the
water.
If you live in an area where it snows and you are storing your boat on a lift during the winter, make sure that you
remove the drain plug. When the snow melts, if the float switch for the bilge pump happens to fail, it could flood
the bilge and damage electrical components in the bilge.

Half Dive Platform with Ladder

The ladder on the half dive platform comes with built in grab rails to allow you easy boarding.
