Ventilation System
10.2 Windshield Ventilation
The windshield can be lowered to provide ven-
tilation at the helm and improved visibility. The
windshield is raised and lowered by an hydraulic
cylinders activated by an electric hydraulic pump in
the head compartment. The system is controlled
by the Windshield switch in the hardtop switch
panel. To lower the windshield, press and hold the
switch in the down position until the windshield is
lowered to the desired position, then release the
switch. To close the windshield, hold the switch in
the up position until the windshield is completely
closed. Always release the switch immediately
when windshield reaches the full down or closed
position.
10.3 Bilge Ventilation
Ventilation to the bilge is provided by vents lo-
cated on each side of the cockpit liner, below the
gunnels. The vents provide air circulation in the
bilge compartment to reduce odors, mildew and
provide ventilation for the batteries. Make sure
to keep these vents clear and unobstructed.
10.4 Maintenance
• Periodically lubricate all hinges and latch
assemblies with a light oil.
• Keep the windshield slide tracks clean.
Periodically coating the tracks with silicone
spray will reduce friction and keep the
windshield sliding smoothly.
• Periodically clean and coat gasket materials
with silicone to help keep them pliable.
