The convertible seat backs at the transom and the molded tran-
som lounge seats are intended to be used only when the boat is
stationary and the engine is OFF. The seat backs must be in the
stowed position when the engine is running or the boat is underway.
Positioned aft facing, the seat back offers no security to persons
seated at the back of the boat and they could slide off and into the
water, with the possibility of making contact with the transom or
swim platform, which could result in injury. The engine should be off
when individuals occupy rear facing transom seating, individuals
may be exposed to carbon monoxide if the engine is running.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, odorless and poisonous
gas that accumulates rapidly and can cause serious injury or
death. Exposure to carbon monoxide can be fatal in a matter of
minutes. Exposure to even low concentrations of carbon monoxide
must not be ignored because the effects of exposure to carbon
monoxide can build up and be just as lethal as high concentrations.
Carbon Monoxide from exhaust pipes of inboard or outboard
engines may build up inside and outside the boat in areas near
exhaust vents, particularly during slow-speed operations. STAY
AWAY from these exhaust vent areas, which are located at the
stern of the boat when the boat engine is running.
Aft-facing seat backs at the transom or sun pad should always be
in the stowed position when the boat is underway. Anyone seated
facing aft could become dislodged when the boat is underway,
which could result in sliding off the seating and making contact
with the transom or swim platform. Jump seats should be secured
against the deck with a lock pin accessible under the observer
seat to avoid dislodging passengers while the boat is underway.
Removable seat backing should always be secured prior to use.
Care should be taken to avoid pinching fingers or other skin when
sliding the backing or securing/removing the removable seats.
Special Attention
In models equipped with a judge’s seat, the observer seat must
always be closed prior to any adjustments to the judge’s seat back
rest, including installing or removing the seat. Failure to close the
observer seat can result in damage to the observer seat upholstery.
Such damage may not be covered by the warranty.
Special Attention
In some models, removable cushions are available as an option. In
those instances, regardless of where the cushions are custom-built
to be placed, they will be constructed of the same materials as the
rest of the upholstery material. That means that they will require the
