Quicksilver 905WE — System & Component Overview and Operation
25. Aft Cockpit Seat
Your boat comes equipped with a sliding seat to maximize the overall cockpit space. The seat consists
of a base, which includes an enclosed storage area, two watertight storage hatches, a backrest and
the transom door. To move the seat, simply lift the barrel bolt latches from the striker plates located
in the deck. On a standard boat, there are two different seat locations: Optimum seating and Engine
trailering.
Optimum Seating
When the seat is in the furthest aft position, the cockpit is at it’s maximum space possible. In this
configuration, you are able to access the entire bilge through the cockpit floor hatches. Do not
attempt to put the engine into trailering position with the seat in the furthest aft position.
Engine Trailering
At anytime you need to trim your engine up to trailer mode, you must move the cockpit seat forward.
This allows for clearance between the backrest and the engine cowl. Failure to do so could lead to
damage to the boat and or engine.
The aft cockpit seat backrest can also recline to lock into three different positions. By lifting the lever
on the starboard of the seat base, you can rotate the backrest aft 30 degrees to a reclined position.
The seat will lock into position so you can safely sit with the backrest reclined.
