Bow Seats and Storage Compartments
The bow seat area is accessed by releasing the
two latches on the center windshield panel and
opening it. A spring loaded latch on the deck
automatically secures the windshield section in
the open position. Use caution when opening the
windshield walkthrough. The latch must be set
in the open to receive the pawl on the windshield
panel and secure it. To close the windshield panel,
pull the spring loaded release button on the latch,
then close the panel and secure it with the latches.
Always make sure the center windshield panel is
secured in the open or closed position and that
passengers in the bow seating area are properly
seated before operating the boat above idle speed.
The passengers also should not be restricting the
forward visibility of the operator.
There are seats and built in drink holders that
drain to the bilge forward of the windshield. For-
ward facing backrests with folding armrests on
each side create lounge seats.
The bow seat cushions are secured with special
friction latches. These latches are equipped with a
notched male fitting that seats in a female receiver.
The latches require a firm upward pull to release
and a firm downward push to latch. The bow seat
cushions should be removed and stored when the
boat is not being used.
