A. Companion Helm Seat
The companion helm seat on all Vista models is stan-
dard and can seat two to three people comfortably. The
backrest can be adjusted forward or aft on the 278 model.
This allows seating in either the forward or aft position.
On the 238 and 258 models, the seat is standard with a
fixed backrest. The adjustable backrest with aft facing
seat is an option. See Figure K4.
Figure K4: Companion Helm Seat
To slide the seat forward or back, a handle is located
below the seat. Push the handle to disengage the slide
mechanism’s teeth and slide the seat to the desired po-
sition. Pull the handle back up to reengage the teeth.
Make sure the teeth have engaged or locked into the
slide mechanism before using the seat. Refer to Figure
K5.
DO NOT sit on the backrest portion of any coc-
kpit seat. The helmsman could lose control of
the boat or passengers could be thrown from the
boat. The seat could also be damaged if exces-
sive force is applied.
To prevent injury, be sure the slide mechanism’s
teeth are engaged to prevent sliding.
