Cockpit Shower
To operate the cockpit shower, the freshwater switch located on the switch panel must be in the
“on” position. Open the cover and pull the shower wand out from the recessed deck fitting. Depress
the button on the back of the wand to spray water. To reinstall the shower wand, gently feed the
hose down through the deck and replace the cover on the deck fitting.
Cockpit Step
The cockpit step is used to provide passengers easier access in and out of the boat. To deploy,
lift up and hold the step then pull down the support leg. Lower the step onto the support leg making
sure the support leg is engaged with the keeper block on the underside of the step. To stow, lift up
the step and push the support leg back under the gunwale making sure it locks into the storage
clips. Lower the step under the gunwale making sure the support leg also locks into the storage
clips on the underside of the step.
C A U T I O N
Do not use the cockpit step as a seat. Your boat is not equipped with the proper handholds for a
passenger seated on the step while the boat is in motion. Stow the cockpit step when the boat
is n motion.
Compass
The compass is located at the helm station in direct view of the operator when navigating the
boat. Follow the compass instructions in your Owners Packet to make compensation adjustments.
Engine Flushing System
The onboard engine flushing system is used to clean the cooling water passages of your engines
using a garden hose and tap water. To operate this system, do the following steps:
1. Screw the garden hose adapter included in your owner’s manual packet onto a garden
hose that is connected to an external freshwater supply.
Note: The freshwater system on your boat is not a suitable water supply for the engine
flushing system; it will not supply enough water or pressure to properly flush the engines.
2. Next, locate the engine flush panel near the transom door and connect the garden hose to
one of the fittings on the panel. Each fitting is labeled with the corresponding engine.
3. With the engines off, turn on the water supply and let the water flush the passages.
Repeat this process until all engines have been flushed. Follow the engine manufacturer’s
recommendations for duration and frequency of flushing. The water supply does not need to be
turned off before disconnecting the garden hose from a fitting. When flushing the engines when
your boat is in water, tilt the engines up to achieve better results.
