Exterior Equipment
Systems Compartment Access
The aft seat assembly is also the access hatch for
the systems compartment in the stern. The seat
recess is hinged at the top and secured in the
down position by two twist lock latches. Two gas
springs help lift the seat/hatch assembly and hold
it in the open and closed positions. To open the
hatch, release the latches and pull the handle at
the bottom of the assembly. By design, the gas
springs hold the hatch firmly in the closed position
and it will take a considerable amount of force to
open it. Once hatch is partially open, the force of
the gas springs will begin to lift the hatch to the
full open position. Push down firmly on the front
of the hatch to close it make sure it is properly
secured with twist latches.
The hatch provides access to the batteries, battery
switches, pumps, strainers, circuit breakers and
other equipment in the stern bilge. The stern bilge
pump 2, aft fishbox pump, baitwell supply pump,
fresh water and raw water pumps, fuse panels
and battery charger are among the equipment in
this compartment.

Bait Station
A bait prep station equipped with a sink, cutting
board and prepped bait storage is located on the
rear of the helm seat base. The sink is plumbed
to the fresh water system and has a removable
spray head that reaches to each side of the sta-
tion or can be used as a fresh water washdown
or shower. The sink and prepped bait cooler are
drained by gravity to a thru-hull fitting in the
hull side. The cutting board is hinged and opens
to provide access to the prepped bait storage/
cooler. Grab rails, cup holders, accommodation
for hooks, knives and tools are built into the top
of the station.
A 94 quart cooler is mounted on a slide track
below the bait station. The cooler can be slid out
for easy access or removal. A spring loaded pin
in the rear of the cooler mount secures the cooler
in any position along the slide track. To slide the
cooler, lift up on the pin and slide the cooler to
the desired position. Then release the pin to hold
the cooler in position.
