Exterior Equipment
The bow seat cushions are removable and are
secured to the hatches with snaps. The cushions
should be removed and stored in the head compart-
ment or another safe location out of the weather
when the boat is not being used.
Casting Deck, Sun Lounge and Table
A retractable table con-
verts the bow area into
either a sitting area with
a table, a sun lounge or a
casting/fishing deck. The
table is mounted on an
electrically actuated ped-
estal that is controlled by
a rocker switch in the side
of the cockpit. The switch
is a three position momen-
tary switch. The center
position is OFF. Press the
top of the switch to raise
the table, press the bottom of the switch to lower
it. The pedestal will stop immediately when the
switch is released or when the pedestal reaches
the full up or down position.
To use bow area as a casting/fishing deck, lower
the table to full down position and make sure it is
sitting firmly on the support rails in the recess. In -
stall the seat cushions and the table filler cushion
to use the area as a sun lounge. Remove the filler
cushion and raise the table to the full up position
to convert the bow area to a sitting or eating area.
To avoid damage to the table and pedestal, always
make sure the table is in the full down position
and sitting firmly on the support rails whenever
the boat is operating above slow speed. This is
particularly important when the boat is being run
offshore.
Rod Lockers
There are rod storage lockers located behind lock-
able hatches on either side of the cockpit near the
bow. The hatches are secured with special locking,
flush mounted, “push to close” latches. LED lights
illuminate each locker when the hatches are open.
The rod racks are equipped with stretch cords to
secure the rods. Always make sure the rods are
properly secured to the racks with the rod tips aft.
The lockers drain by gravity to the bilge.
