Exterior Equipment
Passenger Seat Base and Fishbox/Storage
Compartment
The passenger seat is mounted on a fiberglass
seat base and fishbox/storage compartment that
drains to the cockpit sole. There is also a storage
compartment with drink holders on the port side
of the passenger seat. A grab rail is mounted
on the bulkhead forward of the seat to provide a
handhold for passengers.
The fishbox/storage compartment hatch is behind
the passenger seat. The hatch is secured with a
“push to close” latch that is activated by a press-
ing a lever in the center rear of the hatch. The
hatch is held open and closed by a gas spring.
The compartment is insulated and the drain is
controlled by a removable plug in the drain fitting
at the rear of the compartment.
Always make sure the hatch is properly closed
before operating the boat. When using the com-
partment as a fishbox, clean and flush it with fresh
water after each use.
Helm and Passenger Seats
The helm and passenger seats are equipped with
a flip up bolster to provide more room between
the seat and the helm or dash area. The bolster
converts the seat to a raised seating position and
allows the operator and passenger to select the
standard seating height or a higher position for
better visibility when needed. To convert the seat
to the raised cushion position, lift the front of the
seat cushion to raise the bolster and push it back
above the seat cushion.
Passenger Seat Base and Insulated Fishbox/Storage
Compartment or Cooler
The forward passenger seat swivels and is
equipped with adjustable armrests. There is one
lever on the starboard side of the seat base and
a lever aft of each arm rest cushion. Lifting the
lever on the seat base allows the seat to swivel.
Releasing the lever locks the seat in position.
