Exterior Equipment
10.4 Cockpit Equipment - All Models
Hatch Latches
Some of the hatches and doors in the cockpit are
secured with special flush mounted, twist lock
latches with handles that store flush 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 remain
up when the latches are not secured. Always make
sure the hatches are closed with the latches in
the secured position and the handles folded flush
before operating the boat above idle speed.
WARNING
IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS, OPEN DOORS AND HATCHES
THAT ARE NOT SECURED PROPERLY CAN SLAM CLOSED
UNEXPECTEDLY AND CAUSE INJURY TO PASSENGERS OR
DAMAGE TO THE BOAT. MOST DOORS AND HATCHES ARE
EQUIPPED WITH SPECIAL FASTENERS, HATCH 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.
Seat Cushion Friction Latches
Some seat cushions and other components are
secured with special friction latches. These
latches are equipped with a notched male fitting
that seats into a rubber female receiver. These
latches require a firm upward pull to release and
a firm downward push to latch.
Cockpit Carpet (Optional)
Cockpit carpet is an available option on all mod-
els. The carpet is custom made to each model
and includes snaps in the carpet and cockpit sole.
For the safety of your passengers, always make
sure the carpet is secured with the snaps. Car-
pet that is not secured with the snaps can slide
unexpectedly.
Transom/Battery Switch Panel Door
The door that encloses the battery switch panel
can also be used a transom door. The door is
secured automatically in either position by a mag-
netic latch system. It functions as a transom door
when it is latched open across the walkway from
the cockpit to the swim platform. The door en-
closes the battery switch panel when it is latched
closed to the panel.
Twist Lock Latch
Transom/Battery Switch Panel Door
To use the door to close off the walkway to the
platform, swing the door open until it latches in
the transom door position. Swing the door until it
latches in the battery switch panel recess to open
the walkway and enclose the battery switch panel.
The walkway to the swim platform should be open
only when the boat is not in motion. It is impor-
tant that the door be latched in either the transom
door position or in the battery switch panel recess.
Never leave the transom door unsecured.
NOTICE:
Periodically inspect the transom door fit
-
tings for wear, damage, or loose fit. Any
problems should be inspected and corrected
immediately.
