Introduction v

INTRODUCTION

Axis Wake Research manufactures high-performance wakeboard boats and brings new

levels of quality, performance and style to the entry-level boat market with unparalleled

pride of ownership.

Axis raises performance and customer satisfaction levels in this market segment through

an aggressive grassroots research and development campaign. These efforts revolve

around the specific needs and wants of core riders and families alike, or as the team at

Axis Wake Research likes to say and the Axis name implies, “We’re centered on you.”

This manual has been assembled to help you operate your new Axis with safety and

pleasure. Details of typical equipment as well as recommended safety and maintenance

procedures about your boat are supplied. Please read carefully and familiarize yourself

with the craft before using it.

We at Axis Wake Research thank you for choosing us as your boat manufacturer and

assure you that your satisfaction and boating enjoyment will continue to be our #1

priority.

CERTIFICATIONS & STANDARDS

NMMA Certification

Your Axis boat has been built to meet or exceed the standards set by the National Marine

Manufacturers Association (NMMA). NMMA verifies annually, or whenever a new boat

model is introduced, to determine that they meet not only Coast Guard regulations, but

also the more comprehensive standards set by the American Boat & Yacht Council

(ABYC).

Standards to Which This Boat was Built

Your Axis boat was built with the utmost care throughout the complete manufacturing

process. The deck, hull, stringers and floor, as well as many accessory components, were

built using our hand-laid composite fiberglass scheduling techniques. All boats receive

complete quality control checks. Each boat is lake tested, and all information is kept on

file at our factory for future reference.

Exemption Notice

This boat complies with U.S. Coast Guard safety standards in effect on the date of

certification with the exception of certain fuel systems requirements associated with its

fuel injected engine as authorized by U.S. Coast Guard Grant of Exemption (CGB-06-

005). Maintenance of the fuel system in this boat should be performed only by Axis

Wake Research trained certified technicians using identical fuel system components.

vi Certifications & Standards

Hull Identification Number (HIN)

Your Hull Identification Number can be found on the starboard transom of your boat

below the rubber rub rail. Federal law prohibits the tampering or removing of the number

in any way. Use this number to register your boat with your local and state authorities.

• Engine and generator fuel, and other liquids such as coolants and

oil, especially used motor oil

• Cooking fuels

• Cleaners, paints and substances used for vessel repair

• Waste materials that result from wear of vessel components

• Lead from battery terminals and from other sources such as ballast

or fishing sinkers

TO AVOID HARM:

• Keep away from engine, generator and cooking fuel exhaust fumes.

• Wash areas thoroughly with soap and water after handling the

substances above.

Emission Control Warranty Information

Resources Board (CARB). The engine has a special environmental tag and the boat has

this label affixed to it. The tag and the label are required by the California Air Resources

Board (CARB). The label has 1, 2, 3 or 4 stars. The label MUST be affixed to the boat, if

the boat is operated in the state of California and/or bordering waters.

Chapter 1

BOATING SAFETY

At Axis Wake Research, safety is not an option!

Safe operation of a boat is the responsibility of everyone using the boat. Boats should

never be used in an unsafe manner.

If you are not an experienced boater, it is our recommendation that you attend a safe

boating class before using your boat.

Drivers should NEVER drive a boat or even be in the driver’s seat if alcohol has been

consumed and they should NEVER consume alcohol while driving. The driver is

responsible for the condition of each guest as well. Drugs, alcohol and boating do not mix.

Drivers must be cognizant of their surroundings, other boats, their wake and other

environmental factors including safe turning speeds, people and obstacles in the water, etc.

Driver and boat owner assume all risks for themselves, their guests and anyone in

proximity to their boat as it relates to any impairment, unsafe condition, etc.

It is the responsibility of the boat owner and occupants of the boat to understand and

comply with all warning labels and safety recommendations/requirements.

General Precautions

Your Axis boat has been constructed to meet all U.S. Coast Guard and National Marine

Manufacturers Association (NMMA) requirements. However, it is still your

responsibility as the boat owner to ensure the boat is always operated in a safe fashion.

U.S. Coast Guard regulations require certain safety equipment be present on your boat

during operation. Besides the U.S. Coast Guard regulations, other local and/or

international law enforcement agencies may have similar requirements. You should check

with your local marine enforcement agency regarding any such requirements before using

the waterways.

It is not intended for this manual to be a replacement for a course on boating safety. It is

highly recommended that if you are unfamiliar with the use and operation of a boat, you

seek advice and training from a qualified individual or organization. Check with your

local boating agency or Axis dealer for more information about boating safety classes in

your area.
