2017 OWNERS MANUAL / 398
ROPE DEFLECTOR
Purpose
The rope deflector is meant to prevent ropes from getting caught or
tangled in the outboard motor or the motor’s mounting point on the
transom of the boat.
Location
The rope deflector is mounted on the transom of the NXT20 Global
Edition and wraps around the motor.
Operation
The rope deflector, used in conjunction with the tower, is designed
to keep tow ropes away from the outboard motor and the propeller.
The rope deflector can be folded down by unscrewing the hex bolts
located midway up the wraparound arms.
The rope deflector is not a tow point and should never be used
as such. Using the rope deflector as a tow point may cause
serious injury or death.
CONTACT WITH A SPINNING PROPELLER WILL CAUSE SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH. SHUT OFF ENGINES WHEN PEOPLE ARE IN THE
WATER NEAR THE BOAT OR ON THE SWIM PLATFORM. Boisterous
or rough-housing behavior on the swim platform, such as (but not
limited to) trying to push others o the platform, can lead to injury.
When an individual is on the swim platform or in the water near
the stern of the boat, the engine MUST be turned OFF. This is the
location of the outboard motor and its propeller which can cause
serious injury or death.
Location
The swim platform is attached to the transom of the NXT20 Global
Edition on both sides of the engine mount to allow the outboard
motor full range of movement.
Operation
The swim platform on the NXT20 Global Edition does not fold down.
The swim platform is designed to allow full range of motion to an
outboard engine. If the stock Mercury Verado motor is replaced, the
replacement motor must not interfere with the swim platform as
this can cause damage to both the transom of the boat, the swim
platform and the replacement motor and is not covered under
warranty.
SWIM PLATFORM
Purpose
The swim platform provides easy access between the interior of the
boat and the body of water. Care should always be taken by persons
moving between the boat and the water. While the platform has
been designed to be slip-resistant, it may still become slick, and
footing can become dicult. All movement should be done with that
in mind. Failure to exercise caution can lead to injury. Boisterous
play is inappropriate on the swim platform as injury can occur.
