Cabin Door / Companionway Door
The acrylic cabin door is equipped with a locking latch, doorstop
and a slide mechanism. To open the door, just press the latch
on the latch assembly to the right and slide the cabin door to the
starboard side. To close the door, slide the door back to the port
side and the latch will engage itself.
The stainless steel doorstop at the bottom of the doorframe can
be utilized to keep the door from sliding shut when you are
anchored. When using the doorstop, take notice of the prevailing
seas. 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.
The lock comes with a set of two numbered keys. We recommend that you make note of the key number
and keep it in a safe place. In the event that you need to replace the keys, you will not need to replace the
entire lock assembly. See the Service and Care section of this manual for cleaning recommendations.
Tackle Box
The tackle box is located in the cockpit behind the aft facing jump
seat. The box is equipped with 4 trays for storing your small
fishing tackle equipment.
Hatches and Latches
Deck Hatches - The fiberglass deck hatches for the anchor locker, bilge and the 2 fish boxes can easily
withstand the weight of passengers and gear; just like the rest of the deck surfaces. The hatches for the
bilge and fish boxes are each equipped with gas shocks. The gas shocks allow you to easily open and
close the hatches. The gas shocks also hold the hatches in place when they are open.
The twist latches that are installed on the fiberglass deck hatches are made of stainless steel. Just lift the
handle of the latch from the recessed area of the hatch, twist it and lift the hatch open. There is a small red
dot on one side of the latch. If the red dot is visible when the hatch is closed, that means that even though
the hatch may be closed, the latch is not secure. Make sure that all hatches are closed and secured before
you get underway. Lift the handle of the latch, turn it 180 degrees so that the latch catches and return the
handle to the recessed area of the hatch. Once the hatch is secure, the red dot will no longer be visible.
