CAUTION
Trolling Motor (Optional)
A trolling motor mounted near the bow can be
installed as optional equipment. The features,
operation and controls are unique to the trolling
motor system and options you choose. A special
DC electrical circuit activated by a heavy duty
main switch and/or circuit breaker in the center
console or head compartment connects the three
trolling motor batteries in series to supply 36-volt
current to the trolling motor system. Make sure
the 36-volt circuit is activated before using the
trolling motor and turned off when the system is
not in use.
A special heavy duty outlet plug with a protective
cover, located in the cockpit liner near the bow,
provides the connection for the trolling motor.
The protective cover protects the plug from the
elements when it is not use. Make sure the cover
is securely in place whenever the trolling motor
power cord is not connected to the plug.
An owners manual will be included with the trolling
motor. It is essential that you read the manual
and be completely familiar with the operation of
the trolling motor and the trolling motor controls
before using your boat.
9.3 Cockpit Features All Models
General
Most hatches and doors in the cockpit are secured
with special cam action, draw or automatic, push
to close, latches. Gas charged springs are used
on some hatches above the cockpit sole that
help raise the hatches and hold them in the open
position.
Always make sure the hatches are closed with the
latches in the secured position before operating
the boat above idle speed.
IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS, OPEN EXTERIOR DOORS AND
HATCHES THAT ARE NOT SECURED PROPERLY CAN
SLAM CLOSED UNEXPECTEDLY AND CAUSE INJURY TO
PASSENGERS OR DAMAGE TO THE BOAT. SOME DOORS AND
HATCHES ARE EQUIPPED WITH SPECIAL FASTENERS, HATCH
LIFTERS, OR SNAPS AND/OR STRAPS, TO SECURE THEM IN
THE OPEN POSITION. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THESE
HATCHES AND DOORS ARE PROPERLY SECURED WHENEVER
THEY ARE IN THE OPEN POSITION.
Stern Bilge Access
There is a removable access hatch in the splash-
well that provides access to the fuel filters, aft
Center Bilge Access in Splashwell
bilge pump and other equipment mounted in the
center stern bilge. Other hatches located behind
the port and starboard stern seats provide ac-
cesses to the port and starboard stern bilge and
equipment installed there. Always make sure
these hatches are closed before operating the
boat.
Stern Seats, Baitwell & Cooler
The stern baitwell is below the starboard stern
seat. A cooler is below the port stern seat. The
baitwell and cooler are insulated and drained by
gravity to thru-hull fittings in the transom. The
baitwell is supplied seawater by the raw water
pumps and manifold system located in the stern
bilge. Another pump can be activated by a switch
in the helm panel to recirculate and aerate the
water in the baitwell. An overflow built into the
side of the baitwell automatically controls the wa-
ter level. The port side cooler can be converted
to a baitwell as optional equipment.
