THE TRANSOM DOOR AND GATE SHOULD BE CLOSED AND PROPERLY LATCHED
WHENEVER THE ENGINE(S) ARE RUNNING. NEVER OPEN THE TRANSOM DOOR WHILE
UNDERWAY OR IN ROUGH SEA CONDITIONS. IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS, AN OPEN
TRANSOM 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 AND GATE OPEN MAY ALLOW PER-
SONS TO FALL OVERBOARD AND INTO BOAT PROPELLERS OR TO BE LOST IN OPEN
WATER.
PERIODICALLY INSPECT THE TRANSOM DOOR AND GATE FITTINGS FOR WEAR, DAM-
AGE OR LOOSE FIT. ANY PROBLEMS SHOULD BE INSPECTED AND CORRECTED IM-
MEDIATELY.
Below Deck Stern Fishbox
A fishbox is located in the stern below the cockpit sole. The fishbox is drained by a macerator pump located
in the bilge and activated by a momentary switch in the rear of the cockpit near the transom door. A momentary
switch is used because the pump will be damaged if it is allowed to run dry for more than 30 seconds. The
fishbox should be pumped out and cleaned after each use. Refer to the Drainage Systems chapter for more
information on the fishbox drainage.
Cockpit Shower (Optional)
A fresh water shower is located behind a small door in the cockpit. It is supplied hot and cold water by the
fresh water system and works much like the shower in the head.
Stern Seat
A recessed fold down seat is built into the rear of the cockpit. To
use the seat, release the latches by pulling sharply on the lower edge
of the seat. Then pull the strap at the bottom of the seat toward the
cockpit. The seat will move into the proper position as it slides out
from the stored position. Make sure the rear of the seat locks into
the slot in the center of the recess. To store the seat, pull the seat
forward and simultaneously push the front down and toward the rear
of the cockpit. This will cause the seat to fold into the recess in the
rear of the cockpit. To secure the seat in the stored position, make
sure the male studs on the seat line up properly with the female
sockets mounted on the rear of the recess for the seat. Secure the seat
with a sharp push to snap the studs into the sockets.
Helm Seat (Pedestal)
The helm seat is a pedestal seat that swivels and adjusts fore and aft.
There are two levers and one tension knob on the seat base. Lifting
the lever located at the front of the seat base allows the seat to be
adjusted fore and aft. Releasing the lever locks the seat in that position. Lifting the lever on the port side of
the seat base releases the pivot lock and allows the helm seat to be swiveled on the pedestal. The helm seat
will automatically lock when it is swiveled back to the operating position. The friction knob adjusts the tension
of the seat base on the pedestal and is also located on the port side of the seat. It should be adjusted to allow
the seat to be swiveled when the swivel lock is released and tight enough to eliminate play between the seat
base and the pedestal.
