ting in the hull. The baitwell is supplied seawater
by a raw water pump located in the stern bilge.
Another pump can be activated by a switch in the
helm panel to recirculate and aerate the water in
the baitwell. The overflow built into the side of
the baitwell automatically controls the water level.
The baitwell should be drained and rinsed clean
with fresh water after each use. Refer to the Raw
Water System and Drainage Systems chapters for
more information on the operation of the baitwell.
Aft below Deck Fishbox
An insulated fishbox is located below the aft
cockpit sole. The hatch is equipped with a gas
charged spring that holds the hatch in the open
position. A flush, twist lock latch secures the
hatch in the closed position. There is a large red
dot in the handle that indicates that the latch is
in the open position and the hatch is not secure.
Always make sure the hatch is closed with the
latch in the secured position before operating the
boat above idle speed.
The fishbox is drained by a centrifugal pump ac -
tivated by a switch in the helm switch panel. Be
sure to monitor the water level in the fishbox and
turn the pump off as soon as pumping is complete.
The pump could be damaged if it is allowed to run
dry for extended periods. The fishbox should be
pumped out and cleaned after each use. Refer to
the Drainage Systems chapter for more informa-
tion on the fishbox drainage.
Aft Bench Seat
Your boat is equipped with an aft bench seat. The
seat is designed to fold flush against the rear of the
cockpit when it is not in use. The seat is secured
in the folded position by a magnetically assisted
dead bolt latch.
To use the seat, release the latch then pull the
top of the seat toward the cockpit using the top
handle. The bottom of the seat slides in a track
and two side supports move out with the seat as
it folds out. The seat automatically locks into the
seating position when the cushion reaches the full
down position.
To store the seat, pull the seat out slightly as
you raise the front of the seat with the handle.
The rear supports will release and slide down in
the track as the seat and side supports fold into
the recess. Fold the seat in until it is flush with
the recess and align the latch dead bolt with the
receiver. The magnet in the latch should pull the
dead bolt into the receiver. Make sure the dead
