Boarding in Deep Water
Operator Alone
Swim to the rear of the watercraft.
Grip the grab handle and pull yourself
upward until your knee can reach the
boarding platform then grip the seat
strap.
Bring your feet on the floorboard while
maintaining balance using the handle-
bar (except GT models).
Sit astride the seat.
Attach the safety lanyard to the opera-
tor’s PFD and snap the cap to the

Operator with a Passenger
The operator climbs on the watercraft
the same way as explained previously.
In choppy water, the passenger, while
in the water, may hold the watercraft
to help the operator in climbing aboard.
The passenger then climbs on the wa-
tercraft while the operator maintains
balance by sitting as close as possible
to the console.

Inexperienced riders should prac-
tice how to get aboard close to
shore first before venturing into
deep water.
