Helm Seats
The helm seats are pedestal seats that
swivel and adjust fore and aft. A friction knob
adjusts the tension of the seat base on the
pedestal and is located on the side of the
seat. Adjust it to eliminate play between the
seat base and the pedestal.
Stern Bench Seat
The stern bench seat is hinged and opens to
allow access to the removable fishbox. 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 bench seat can be opened. A hatch
lifter holds the seat in the open position and
prevents it from opening too far. Remove the
fishbox underneath the seat to access the
bilge. Refer to the Drainage section of the
Plumbing Systems chapter.
Machinery Space
The machinery space is located between the
two rear facing helm seats. The equipment
in this space includes the water tank, water
heater, waste tank, waste tank macerator, air
conditioning pump, baitwell pickup, head
pickup, livewell strainer and livewell circulat-
ing pump, windshield washer solenoid, bat-
tery switch panel and electric distribution
enclosure.
Cockpit Shower
A fresh water shower is located behind a
small door on the swim platform. It is sup-
plied hot and cold water by the fresh water
system and works much like the shower in
the head.
Hard Top
The hard top consists of a laminated fiber-
glass top mounted to a welded aluminum
frame bolted to the deck. It is designed to
accommodate radio antennas, radar anten-
nas and navigation lights. It could also be
equipped with optional outriggers and/or rod
holders.
!
WARNING
Serious or fatal injury can occur due
to the rotation of the seat if the swivel
is not locked. Lock the swivel when
the boat speed exceeds 5 miles per
hour.
!
WARNING
The stern bench seat is hinged and
could open unexpectedly in certain
conditions, such as hard acceleration
or rough seas, if it is not properly
closed and secured by the latches.
This may allow persons to fall over-
board and into boat propellers or to be
lost in open water. In rough seas, an
open bench seat may allow a substan-
tial amount of water to enter the cock-
pit or the bilge, creating a potentially
dangerous condition. Close and prop-
erly latch the stern seat before operat-
ing your boat.
!
CAUTION
Damage to the engine cowlings, stern
seat and transom door can occur 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.
!
DANGER
Moving propellers are dangerous.
They can cause death, loss of limbs,
or other severe injury. Do not use the
swim platform while the engine(s) are
running.
