Integral Self Draining Ice Chest
This item is available on most model boats and can be found either in the starboard
passenger seat or center floor. Some models also have an insulated removable bag. The
melted ice will drain into the bilge area of your boat.
Sundeck
Most boat models are equipped with a standard sundeck
feature designed for sunbathing comfort.
The Sundeck is not to be used while
the engine is running. Serious
injuries or death could occur to
persons not seated properly should
the boat come to an abrupt halt.

V-Drive Engine Access Hatch
An engine access hatch is located behind the rear
observers’ seat on the V-Drive. Access allows the ability
to service the engine for required maintenance and for
additional storage on both sides of the engine.
Ensure the hatches are securely
latched. Failure to do this could allow
your engine hatch door to open while
under way causing damage to your
boat and others.
Ski Pylon
The patented, pivoting-head ski pylon is an aluminum post located directly in front of the
motorbox. V-Drive models feature a telescopic version. Minimal maintenance is required,
but once a year remove the swivel pylon head and re-grease with a high temperature
bearing grease. This will reduce wear. To use the telescopic version, pull pylon up, rotate
clockwise and lower until in locked position.
