The rear facing bench seat converts to a sun lounge. To convert the seat to a lounge, release the latch just below
the port and starboard corners of the rear seat cushion and slide the rear seat base out. To convert the lounge
to a bench seat, lift the center cushions slightly, and then push the seat base toward the front of the lounge until
the seat backs are in the upright position. The spring latch will automatically lock when the seat is in the full
up position.
STERN COCKPIT EQUIPMENT
The stern cockpit area is equipped with a sink, removable cutting board, bench seat, livewell and cooler. The
sink is plumbed to the freshwater system and drains overboard. Refer to the Plumbing Systems chapter for
additional information on the freshwater system. A hatch below the sink provides access to the starboard stern
bilge. The raw water pump, livewell pump, fishbox macerator pump, and engine rigging are among the
equipment mounted in this area.
The livewell is supplied by a raw water circulating pump and drains overboard. Refer to the Plumbing Systems
chapter for additional information on the livewell.
The stern bench seat is hinged and opens in two sections to allow access to the livewell and removable cooler.
The cooler is drained overboard by gravity. Removing the cooler provides access to the stern bilge, the stern
bilge pumps and other equipment installed there.
BELOW DECK 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 sink. A momentary switch
is used because the pump will be damaged if it is allowed to run dry for more than a few seconds. The fishbox
should be pumped out and cleaned after each use. Refer to the Plumbing Systems chapter for more information
on the fishbox drainage.
TRANSOM DOOR
A transom door is incorporated into the cockpit and stern bench seat. The transom door should only be opened
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.
Periodically inspect the transom door fittings for wear, damage, or loose fit. Any problems should be inspected
and corrected immediately.
THE TRANSOM DOOR 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 CRE-
ATING 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 WATER.
PERIODICALLY INSPECT THE TRANSOM DOOR/GATE FITTINGS FOR WEAR, DAMAGE
OR LOOSE FIT. ANY PROBLEMS SHOULD BE INSPECTED AND CORRECTED IMMEDI-
ATELY.
