3070 OFFSHORE
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE HELM STATION CLAMPS AND TILT RAM ARE PROP-
ERLY 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(S) ARE RUNNING. IN SOME SITUATIONS IT IS POSSIBLE TO ACCIDEN-
TALLY ENGAGE THE ENGINE 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 PASSENGERS.
THE HELM IS HEAVY AND WILL OPEN SUDDENLY IF THE HELM CLAMPS ARE
RELEASED AND THE TILT RAM PIN IS REMOVED FROM THE RAM. THIS COULD
CAUSE INJURY TO PEOPLE NEAR THE HELM OR DAMAGE THE BOAT. IT IS
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT THE HELM CLAMPS ARE SECURED BEFORE RE-
MOVING THE PIN FROM THE TILT RAM. ONCE THE RAM PIN IS REMOVED,
THE HELM CLAMPS CAN BE RELEASED AND THE CONSOLE CAN BE LOWERED
AGAINST THE RETAINING STRAPS.
Console Cooler
A molded insulated cooler is installed under the front seat of the console. The cooler drains
overboard thru the shower sump drain system. The cooler should be cleaned thoroughly after
each use.
Console Storage
A storage compartment is under the seat on starboard of the console cooler. The engine batteries
and oil tanks are mounted in this compartment.
Cabin door
The sliding cabin door is made of acrylic plastic glass and slides on a top and bottom track. A
lockable latch secures the door in the closed position. A special vinyl-covered latch secures the
door in the open position.
It is very important that the cabin door is secured properly in the open or closed position. The
cabin door is heavy and if the door is not properly latched, it could slide when the boat rocks and
pinch someone’s fingers between the door and the bulkhead or damage the door.
When closing the door, make sure you push the door against the door jam with enough pressure
to allow the latch to secure the door. When the door is open, it must be properly secured with
the latch near the bottom door track and to the port side of the companionway. To latch the door
in the open position, open the door until it hits the rubber bumper on the bulkhead. Then push
the door against the bumper, slightly compressing the bumper and allowing the vinyl covered
latch to secure the door in the open position.
