ATTEMPTING TO BOARD. ALWAYS REMOVE AND PROPERLY STORE THE LADDER BE-
FORE STARTING THE ENGINE.

11.3 Cockpit Equipment
IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS, OPEN EXTERIOR DOORS AND HATCHES THAT ARE NOT SE-
CURED PROPERLY CAN SLAM CLOSED UNEXPECTEDLY AND CAUSE INJURY TO PAS-
SENGERS 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.
Helm
The helm and engine controls are located on an opening helm
station. The helm station is hinged at the bottom and opens to
provide access to service the helm equipment or to install
electronics.
To open the helm station, release the clamps at the top of the
helm. A strap holds the helm in the open position and prevents
it from opening too far. Always make sure the helm station
clamps are properly secured when the helm is closed.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE HELM STATION CLAMPS ARE PROPERLY SECURED BEFORE
OPERATING OR TRAILERING YOUR BOAT. IF THE HELM STATION IS NOT PROPERLY
SECURED, IT COULD OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY AND DAMAGE THE BOAT OR CAUSE LOSS
OF CONTROL.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE HELM BE OPENED WHEN THE ENGINE IS
RUNNING. IN SOME SITUATIONS IT IS POSSIBLE TO ACCIDENTALLY ENGAGE THE EN-
GINE SHIFT AND THROTTLE CONTROL INTO GEAR AS THE HELM IS OPENING. THIS
COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL, DAMAGE TO THE BOAT, AND INJURY TO PAS-
SENGERS.
