Exterior Equipment
Port Aft Transom Compartment
The retractable shore power cord and reel and
electrohydraulic system for the beach platform
are located in this compartment. A hinged door
with a “push to close” latch provides access to the
compartment.
Bow Seats and Storage Compartments
The bow seat cushions are secured to the hatch
lids with special friction latches. These latches are
equipped with a notched male fitting that seats in
a female receiver. These latches require a firm up -
ward 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.
There are two storage/cooler compartments lo-
cated below the port and starboard bow seats.
Another storage compartment below the forward
seat is equipped with a removable hatch that
provides access to the rope locker. The storage
compartment hatches are equipped with gas
hatch lifters that hold them in the open or closed
position.
The port and starboard compartments are in-
sulated and can be used for dunnage, coolers
or fishboxes. They drain overboard by gravity
through fittings in the hull sides. Drain plugs can
be inserted in each drain fitting to control drainage
or isolate the compartments from the seawater. If
the compartments are used as fishboxes or cool -
ers, they should be cleaned and flushed thoroughly
with fresh water after each use.
Another storage compartment is located below the
table and cockpit sole between the bow seats. It
