Motorbox Cover
The upholstered motorbox reduces engine noise and
provides protection for the passengers on board. To open,
stand on the port side of the box near the observer seat,
grasp the handle near the floor and pull open. The motor
box is equipped with either one or two gas-filled shock
absorbers (depending on model) to provide support for the
compartment when opened.
Running the engine with the motor
box open exposes rotating
machinery which can cause injury
to occupants of the boat.
Driver’s Seat
The driver’s seat may be adjusted by moving the seat
forward or backward while pulling outward on the lever
located under the front left portion of the seat. Once the
seat is in place, you may release the lever to secure it.
Adjustments to driver’s seats equipped with a lumbar
support can be done by pressing the button located on the
left underside. To decrease the amount of support, press
your back against the seat and press the button. To
increase the amount of support, lean forward while
pressing the button.
Integral Self Draining Ice Chest
This item is available on most boat models and is located under the seat cushion of the
observer’s seat. The ice chest drains into the bilge area.
