Opening Windshield Center Panel
The center windshield panel is opened by releas-
ing the two latches on the panel and opening it. A
magnetic stop on the deck automatically secures
the windshield section in the open position. Use
caution when opening the windshield panel. The
magnet is very powerful and could cause injury or
damage to the deck or windshield if the window
is allowed to slam against the stop. To close the
windshield panel, pull on the bottom of the panel
until the magnetic stop releases. Then close the
panel and secure it with the locks. Make sure the
center section is properly secured in the open or
closed position before cruising. Refer to the Wind-
shield section of this chapter and the Ventilation
chapter for more information on the windshield.
Always make sure the center windshield panel is
secured in the open or closed position and that
passengers in the bow seating area are properly
seated before operating the boat above idle speed.
The passengers also should not be restricting the
forward visibility of the operator.

Bow Seats and Storage Compartments

The anchor locker and retractable forward board-
ing ladder are 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 Cockpit Lights switch in the
helm switch panel.
The optional cockpit table is mounted to a bracket
on the rear facing bench seat base. Refer to the
cockpit table section in this chapter for instructions
on installing the table.
Seating
The bow seat area is equipped with a molded in,
rear facing bench seat with storage below the seat
cushion. There are also forward facing seats on
each side with folding armrests forward of the
windshield. Removable filler cushions that convert
the seating area to forward or aft facing lounge
seats are an available option. The removable filler
cushions rest on molded fiberglass supports at the
front of the forward facing seats and rear edge
of the bench seat. They are stored in the helm
storage compartment when not being used.
The side seat cushions are secured with special
slide lock brackets. To install the seat cushions,
slide the slotted female receivers on the cushion
into the male receivers on seat base. Simultane-
ously push the cushion firmly outboard against
the receivers and apply down pressure until the
cushion drops behind the inboard block and sits
flat on the base. To remove the cushions, lift the
inboard side of the cushion until it is clear of the
block. Then slide the cushion inboard and out of
the female receivers. Always make sure the seats
are installed and secured before operating the boat.
