Some platforms feature a bracket, which allows the platform to
fold down, reducing the amount of room required for storage.
Note that the platforms themselves are fairly heavy, and releasing
the bracket may result in the platform falling down and striking
the transom with excessive force. Please provide support to the
platform at the time of releasing the bracket, and slowly lower
the platform into place for towing or storage.
Many 2009 models are
equipped with a swim
platform that may be
folded down. To deter-
mine whether the boat
is so equipped, look
beneath the platform
and see if the bracket
with pin appears as in
the photo. If so, the
swim platform can
be folded. To do so
properly, follow these
instructions:
Folding Down the Platform
Remove the safety hinge pins in each swim platform bracket.
Begin by liing the platform about four (4) inches upward while
easing the platform away from the boat transom. is will allow
the platform to move freely on the hinge.
NOTE: Ensure there is no tightness while the swim platform is
being folded. ere should be no binding during this action.
The platform must be raised and locked into position for trans-
portation of the boat, as well as use of the platform while boat-
ing. Leaving the platform down may result in damage to the boat
transom during transport that will not be covered by the warranty!
Securing the Platform
Step 1: Li the platform to approximately 20 degrees angle
from the boat.
Step 2: Lightly push the platform (do not shove nor jam) to-
ward the transom to allow the platform to set in place.
Step 3: Verify that the platform is in the locked position and
will not fall down. Failure to verify that the platform is
locked may result in the platform falling while some-
one is on it and could result in injury.
Step 4: Insert one (1) safety hinge pin into each platform
bracket as shown in the top photo.
The platform must be raised and locked into position for use of
the platform while boating. No one should be allowed on the plat-
form until the platform is securely locked in place and the engine
is OFF. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death!
Tables
If the cockpit table option was selected for the applicable mod-
els, the table can be removed and stored. In doing so, ensure that
the table and leg are secure in a storage compartment. If they
are le out on the deck of the boat, they may shi or move and
cause injury. Stored away, they should also be situated so that
the metal top and bottom of the leg cannot rub against the table
top and cause scratches. is type of damage will not be covered
under warranty.
e bow table option on the CSX 265 does not remove for stor-
age. erefore, care should be taken to clean it regularly and
avoid damage from spray or UV rays.
See the Cleaning the Boat section of this Owner’s Manual for
information on cleaning the surfaces of all tables.
