330 SPORT YACHT
The compartment below the sun lounge provides
storage for the shore cords, water hose, and fend-
ers. The hatch is equipped with special mounting
brackets for the cockpit table and pedestal. It
is drained by gravity to the engine hatch drain
system. Gas charged springs on the storage com-
partment hatch help lift the hatch and support it
when it is in the open position. A lift to release
latch secures the hatch when it is closed and a
LED light comes on when it is open.
DO NOT STORE FUEL OR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS
IN THE TRANSOM STORAGE COMPARTMENT.
VENTILATION WAS NOT PROVIDED FOR EXPLOSIVE
VAPORS.
Trim Tabs
The trim actuators are mounted to the hull at the
transom. The trim tabs are an important part of
the control systems. Please refer to the Helm
Control Systems chapter for detailed information
on the trim tabs.
9.3 Cockpit
General
Some of the hatches and doors in the cockpit are
secured with special fl ush mounted, twist lock
latches with handles that store fl ush in the latch.
Others are secured with push to close latches.
Gas charged springs are used on some hatches
that help raise the hatches and hold them in the
open position.
The latch handles on the twist lock latches can be
stored in the open or secured positions. There
is a red dot in the handle that indicates that the
latch is in the open position and the hatch is not
secure. Always make sure the hatches are closed
with the latches in the secured position before
operating the boat above idle speed.

LIFTERS, OR SNAPS AND/OR STRAPS, TO SECURE
THEM IN THE OPEN POSITION. ALWAYS MAKE
SURE THAT THESE HATCHES AND DOORS ARE
PROPERLY SECURED WHENEVER THEY ARE IN
THE OPEN POSITION.
