the bench seat can be opened. A hatch lifter holds the seat in the open position and prevents it from opening
too far.
Removing the fishbox provides the primary access to the stern bilge, optional generator and the other
equipment installed there. Always make sure the bench seat is properly closed and latched before operating
the boat.
THE STERN BENCH SEAT IS HINGED AND COULD OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY IN CERTAIN
CONDITIONS, SUCH AS HARD ACCELERATION OR ROUGH SEAS, IF IT IS NOT PROP-
ERLY SECURED BY THE LATCHES. THIS MAY ALLOW PERSONS TO FALL OVERBOARD
AND INTO BOAT PROPELLERS OR TO BE LOST IN OPEN WATER. IN ROUGH SEAS,
AN OPEN BENCH SEAT MAY ALLOW A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF WATER TO ENTER
THE COCKPIT OR THE BILGE, CREATING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION.
MAKE SURE THE STERN SEAT IS CLOSED AND PROPERLY LATCHED BEFORE OPER-
ATING YOUR BOAT.
DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE COWLINGS, STERN SEAT AND TRANSOM DOOR CAN OC-
CUR IF THE STERN SEAT IS NOT OPENED PROPERLY. THE ENGINES MUST BE
TILTED TO THE FULL DOWN POSITION, THE TRANSOM DOOR OPENED AND THE
LATCHES AT THE FRONT OF THE SEAT RELEASED BEFORE THE BENCH SEAT CAN
BE OPENED.
TRANSOM DOOR
A transom door is incorporated into the rigging station. The transom door should only be operated when the
boat is not in motion. The door must be latched in either the full “OPEN” or full “CLOSED” position. Never
leave the transom door unlatched.
THE TRANSOM DOOR/GATE SHOULD BE CLOSED AND PROPERLY LATCHED WHEN-
EVER THE ENGINE(S) ARE RUNNING. NEVER OPEN THE TRANSOM DOOR WHILE UN-
DERWAY OR IN ROUGH SEA CONDITIONS. IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS, AN OPEN TRAN-
SOM DOOR COULD ALLOW A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF WATER TO ENTER THE
COCKPIT CREATING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION. OPERATING THE
BOAT UNDER POWER WITH THE TRANSOM DOOR/GATE OPEN MAY ALLOW PERSONS
TO FALL OVERBOARD AND INTO BOAT PROPELLERS OR TO BE LOST IN OPEN WA-
TER.
PERIODICALLY INSPECT THE TRANSOM DOOR/GATE FITTINGS FOR WEAR, DAMAGE
OR LOOSE FIT. ANY PROBLEMS SHOULD BE INSPECTED AND CORRECTED IMMEDI-
ATELY.
