3070 OFFSHORE
9.3 Cockpit
IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS, OPEN EXTERIOR DOORS AND HATCHES THAT ARE
NOT SECURED PROPERLY CAN SLAM CLOSED UNEXPECTEDLY AND CAUSE IN-
JURY TO PASSENGERS 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.
Rod Storage
A large storage or rod compartment is
located below the leaning post and
tackle station. The rod storage hatch
lifter switch in the cockpit activates an
electric ram that raises the rear of the
bridge deck and the leaning post pro-
viding access to the rod storage area. A
limit switch on the leaning post seat
adjuster prevents the rod storage hatch
from opening unless the seat is in the
full aft position. This prevents the seat
and helm equipment from being dam-
aged when the leaning post and bridge
deck is lifted to access the rod storage.
If the bridge deck is closed and the hatch lifter should malfunction, it can be accessed by removing
the tackle locker in the leaning post tackle station.
The compartment is equipped with overboard drainage and rod racks for secure rod storage.
Leaning Post and Tackle Station
The leaning post is equipped with an adjustable seat. An electric ram activated by a switch at
the helm moves the seat forward or backward. The seat is in the leaning post position when it
is in the aft position and can be used as a seat when it is adjusted forward. Always make sure the
seat is in the full aft position before opening the helm or the rod locker.
There are four tackle drawers and two storage compartments built into the rear of the leaning post.
The tackle station doors can be locked to secure the drawers when the boat is unattended.
