Engine Box Latching/Lifting
There are two rubber latches that hold the top of
the engine box to the base. Pull on the top of
these latches and the upper part or the engine box
will be released. Lift up on the engine box handle
and the gas shocks will help you lift the engine
box. This “clam-shell” design allows you to
check the engine without lifting the entire engine
box. You can leave the top open to dry the bilge.
Engine Cooling Water Intake Shut-Off Valve
Your boat is equippd with a shut-off valve (sea-
cock) on the engine cooling water intake. This
valve can be viewed and manipulated by opening
both upper and lower sections of the engine box.
The valve is located on the starboard side of the
transmission. The valve is open whenever the
handle is in line with the valve body. It is closed
when the handle is perpendicular to the valve
body. The valve can be left in the open position
all the time unless emergency conditions require
closing the valve to stop a leak or eliminate the
possibility of leakage.
Stern Seat Bottom Cushion
The stern seat bottom cushion can be
removed by releasing the port and
starboard hold down strap. The seat
cushion can then be lifted out of the
boat and stored under the bow.
Bow Features of Your Nautique
The open bow section of your boat
has removeable cushions. The
center section can be removed and
stored in the trunk or under the love
seat. The cushion on the starboard
side of the bow section can be
removed exposing an insulated
cooler. Storage on the port side and
front section is also revealed by the
removal of cushions. The speaker
mods on both the port and starboard
side house optional speakers, as well
