11.7 Bow Area Seats & Compartments
Bow Seats and Storage Compartments
There are two storage compartments located in the
bow below the port and starboard seats that drain
to the cockpit. Each drain fitting is equipped with a
removable plug that can be installed to water from
draining from the compartments when they are
used for coolers. The hatches are equipped with
gas charged springs that help raise the hatches and
hold them in the open or closed position.
A “push to close” latch secures each hatch in
the closed position. To prevent the hatches from
opening unexpectedly, always make sure they are
closed and secured with the latch before operating
the boat above idle speed.
The bow seat cushions are removable and are
secured to the hatches with snaps. The cushions
should be removed and stored in the cabin or an-
other safe location out of the weather when the
boat is not being used.
The bow seats are equipped with removable
backrest cushions that convert each seat to a
forward facing lounge. The backrest cushions are
equipped with supports that slide into receivers
at the rear of each bow seat. The backrests are
removed and stored in the cabin or another safe
location when not in use.
To install the backrests, slide the backrest sup-
ports into the receivers in the bow seat base and
push firmly until the supports are tight against
the seat base.
To remove and store the backrests, slide the
backrest supports out of the receivers. You may
have to work each support out a little at a time
to get them started when removing the backrest.
