Exterior Equipment
In-Floor Storage Compartment
There is a large storage compartment located
below the cockpit floor between the forward bow
seats. The compartment is drained overboard
by a bilge pump with an integrated automatic
switch. The compartment floor is equipped with
“dry deck” padding to allow for better drainage
and air circulation in the compartment. A drain
rail around the hatch channels water away from
the compartment and overboard through a fitting
in the hull side.
A gas charged spring holds the hatch in the open
position and a flush twist latch holds it closed.
There is a large red dot in the handle of the latch
that indicates that the latch is in the open position
and the hatch is not secure. Always make sure
the hatch is closed with the latch in the secured
position and the handle folded flush to the deck
before operating the boat above idle speed.
The forward cockpit table and pedestal are
mounted to a special brackets in the rear of the
compartment.
Refer to the cockpit table section in this chapter
for instructions on installing the table.
Bow Seats and Storage Compartments
The bow area is equipped with seats, grab rails
and built in drink holders that drain to the bilge.
The anchor locker is located just forward of the
bow seating area. The area is illuminated by LED
lights recessed into the seat bases. The lights
are activated by the Courtesy Lights switch in the
helm switch panel.
Seating
The bow seat area is equipped with a molded in,
rear facing bench seat with a removable cooler
and freshwater washdown hose below the seat
cushion. There are forward facing seats on each
side with folding armrests forward of the head
and cabin companionways. 12 volt accessory and
USB/MP3 plugs are located on each side of the
bow seating area. There is also a remote control
panel for the stereo on the starboard side.
A removable filler cushion for the starboard bow
seat converts the seating area to a forward or
aft facing lounge seat. The seat cushion rests
on molded fiberglass supports at the front of the
forward facing seat and rear edge of the bench
seat. The removable filler cushion is stored in the
cabin when not being used.
