9.3 Cockpit
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.
Cockpit Storage
The helm seat is mounted on a cooler/storage compartment. The cooler can be converted to a
livewell if this option is installed. The cooler/livewell is insulated and drains overboard. The
companion seat is mounted on a storage compartment that includes a tackle locker, storage
compartment, and water ski storage. Behind the side walls at the companion seat and the helm, there
are storage areas. The port storage area is designed for fishing rods, while the starboard side is for
dunnage. Additional rod racks are located under the gunnel. There is also a small storage
compartment in the deck near the windshield just forward of the companion seat.
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.
