Exterior Equipment
recirculate and aerate the water in the baitwell.
An overflow built into the side of the well auto -
matically controls the water level. The baitwell
drains to the overboard drain system and should
be cleaned thoroughly after each use.
Refer to the Raw Water System and Drainage
Systems chapters for more information on the
operation of the baitwell.
Console Compartment Door
The door on the port side of the console is
equipped with vents that provide ventilation to the
compartment. A lockable, “push to close” latch
secures the door when it is closed.
It is very important that the head compartment
door is secured properly in the closed position
whenever the boat is operated above idle speed.
The door is heavy and if it is not closed and prop-
erly latched, it could slam shut when the boat
rocks and pinch someone’s fingers between the
door and console or damage the door.
CAUTION
NEVER LEAVE THE CONSOLE COMPARTMENT DOOR
UNLATCHED. THE DOOR IS HEAVY AND SWINGS EASILY.
IF THE DOOR IS LEFT UNLATCHED, IT COULD SLAM
UNEXPECTEDLY AS THE BOAT ROCKS, DAMAGING THE DOOR
OR CAUSING AN INJURY TO A PASSENGER. ALWAYS MAKE
SURE THE DOOR IS PROPERLY SECURED IN THE CLOSED
POSITION.
10.5 Bimini Top (Optional)
The Bimini top is designed with a relatively flat
profile and a snug fit. To install the top, attach
the main legs to the deck hinges using the quick
release pins and leave the rear stanchions loose.
Next, open the Bimini and attach the front straps
to the metal eye straps on the deck, forward of the
center console. Attach the rear stanchions, one at
a time, to the rear deck hinges located on the deck
aft of the leaning post. Use your body weight on
the rear corner of the top to pull down and stretch
the fabric until the stanchion eye end lines up with
the hole in the deck hinge. Secure each eye end
to the deck hinge with the quick release pins. If
the top is adjusted to factory specifications, the
top will be level and the canvas tight.

Notice:
The front straps of the Bimini must be se -
cured to the front eye straps before the rear
stanchions are secured to the deck. If the
rear stanchions are secured first, it will be
difficult to secure the front straps without
loosening them. If the front straps are loos -
ened, the Bimini top will be too loose.
