the warranty could be void. If you intend to add
equipment or make modifications to the hard top,

or your dealer to make sure the equipment you

11.7 Upper Station (Optional)
The upper station is a powder coated, welded
aluminum frame that is attached topside of the
hardtop. It is equipped with a second station that
provides full control of the boat from the upper
helm and a sunshade. A hinged access panel
on the underside of the helm provides access to
service helm equipment and electrical circuits.
A ladder built into the center rear of the hardtop
provides access to the upper station from the
cockpit. The rear jump seat and top of the work-
station are incorporated into the upper station
access system to provide steps to the ladder. Grab
Rails on the ladder provide hand holds for safety.
An access hatch in the hardtop above the ladder
is opened when accessing the upper station and
closed for safety during operation.
The access hatch is supported in the open posi-
tion by a gas spring. It is secured in the closed
position by two twist action cam levers on the
bottom and top of the hatch. There is a sliding
lock on each bottom cam lever to prevent them
from opening accidentally.
To open the hatch, release the lock and rotate each
cam lever to the open position. The gas spring will
automatically lift the hatch to the full open posi-
tion. To close the hatch, push or pull the hatch to
the full down position and secure it in the closed
position with the cam latches. Always secure the
hatch in the closed position when people are in
the upper station.
