Cabin/Companionway Door
The poly bi-fold cabin/companionway door comes equipped with a latch, strap and poly hatch. To open the door,
twist the latch to the left to disengage the latch, lift the hatch and pull the door open. Use the black strap and
snap to secure the door when it is open. To close the door, slide the door back into place and replace the hatch.
Then, twist the latch to the right to engage the latch.
The door should never remain open when you are underway or when conditions might cause a passenger to lose
their balance and accidentally fall through the doorway.
See the Service and Care section of this manual for cleaning recommendations.
Transom Door
The poly transom door is located on the starboard aft corner of the boat. The sliding bolt style latch secures the
door in the closed position. To open the door, slide the latch starboard (to the left when standing in the cockpit
area). The transom door should always remain closed while underway.
Windows
Two (2) styles of windows have been installed in the cabin.
Cabin Hatch - A cabin hatch complete with a screen is installed in the ceiling
of the cabin. To open the window, remove the screen, turn both levers
forward and push the hatch open to the desired position. To hold the hatch in
place, tighten the black plastic cylinders on both of the mounting arms. Then
replace the screen. DO NOT allow passengers to sit or stand on the hatch as
they could break the hatch. The hatch should be in the closed and latched
position when the vessel is underway.
Cabin Portholes - Two portholes are installed in the cabin. One is located on
each side of the cabin.
Hardware
Cleats
Your boat is equipped with 7 standard cleats. They are installed to provide areas to permit you to tie off the boat
at dockside, tie off to another boat that is anchored, secure bumpers/fenders, and/or tie off the anchor (when
dropped) to prevent the line from pulling on the windlass, etc. You should never use the cleats for towing another
boat or skier.
Hand Rails
Bow Handrail - The bow handrail is constructed of stainless steel. The railing, which is through bolted to the
gunwale, is provided for safety. Never use the bow rail to tie off to anything heavier than a bumper/fender. Do
not use the bow rail for anchoring, or to tie off to the dock or another boat. Do not use the bow rail to tow another
boat or skier. Never stand on the bow rail or use it as leverage when pulling up an anchor, a fish or any other
objects. Do not use the bow rail to tie off and/or secure a large catch, etc.
Grab Rail – Stainless steel grab rails have been installed at the boarding ladder, at the entry to the cabin and on
top of the hard top to provide safe boarding and navigation on the boat.
Gunwale Trim / Rubrail
A white rigid vinyl gunwale trim with a stainless steel insert is installed at the juncture of the deck and hull. This
durable trim provides a nice clean look and serves as somewhat of a cushion when you are docking, coming
along side another vessel, etc.
