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.
See the Service and Care section of this manual for cleaning recommendations.
Drain Plug
Before launching the boat, always make sure that the drain plug has been installed in the fitting on the
transom at the keel. If your boat is being transported, remove the drain plug once the boat is secured on
the trailer so that any excess water can be drained via the fitting. Never remove the drain plug when the
boat is sitting static in the water.
If you live in an area where it snows and you are storing your boat on a lift during the winter, make sure
that you remove the drain plug. When the snow melts, if the float switch for the bilge pump happens to fail,
it could flood the bilge and damage electrical components in the bilge.
Cockpit / Deck Drains
There are four (4) cockpit/deck drains in the aft area of the cockpit
that allow excess water in the cockpit to drain overboard via thru
hulls on each side of the boat. To ensure that there is no blockage
in any of the hoses connected to the drains, it is recommended
that you occasionally run water through each of the cockpit drains
and visually inspect the thru hulls to verify that water flows freely
and that there is no blockage. To trouble shoot, check the hoses
for leaks and make certain that all hose connections are secure.
Rod Holder Storage
In addition to the rod holders installed on the optional hard top frame, the following rod holder storage is
available:
Rod Holders w/Inserts - Two pair of flush mounted stainless steel rod holders with PVC
inserts to protect your rods
Rod Racks - A pair of rod racks is installed in the port and starboard freeboard of the aft
cockpit. Combined, they can accommodate up to 4 fishing rods.
Vertical rod holders (4) on the optional hard top frame
Fire Extinguisher Holder
This boat comes equipped with a fire extinguisher holder installed on the aft facing jump seat and can be
reached easily from the cockpit.
Thru Hull Fittings
Thru hull fittings provide overboard drainage. The following photos indicate the source of drainage for
each of the thru hulls:
