The back rest on the helm chair can easily be removed by
releasing the two quick release pins on the back rest brackets.
Push the button in the center of the pins and slide them out
of the brackets. The back rest can then be lifted out of the
brackets.
Lounge Seats
There is a lounge seat forward of the helm and on the port side
of the flybridge. A large storage area is located below each
lounge seat. The bottom seat cushions are hinged to allow the
cushions to be raised and drop in front of the lounge for com-
plete access to the storage compartment. To access the storage
compartment, lift the front of the seat cushion and pull it toward
you. The hinge will rotate forward and allow the cushion to
clear the front of the lounge. Then lower the cushion until it
rests against the vertical face of the lounge base.
Storage Compartments and Optional Air Conditioner
There is a large storage compartment in the forward section of
the flybridge. Two doors provide access to the compartment. If
your boat is equipped with the optional flybridge air conditioner
it will be installed in this compartment.
The air conditioning unit is the reverse cycle type and operates
on AC power. It is equipped with reverse cycle heat and can be
operated as a cooling or heating unit and is protected by circuit
breakers in the cabin 240-volt AC breaker panel.
To operate, make sure the thru-hull valve for the air conditioner
raw water supply pump, located in the rear of the engine com-
partment bilge, is on. Turn the Air Conditioner breakers in the
AC breaker panel to the “ON” position. The air conditioning
or heat then will be controlled by the electronic control panel
in the console near the helm. When activated, water should
continuously flow from the overboard drain thru-hull.
The air conditioning system produces heat when it is operated
in the reverse cycle mode. The ability of the unit to produce
heat is affected by the temperature of the seawater. As the
seawater temperature lowers, the air conditioner’s ability to
produce warm air decreases. When the seawater temperature
drops below 40 - 45 degrees, the air conditioner will not be
able to produce heat. You should not operate the air condi-
tioner to produce heat when the water temperature is below
40 degrees.
The air conditioning unit creates condensation that drips into
the pan at the base of the unit. A hose attached to the pan drains
the water to the flybridge drain system. The condensation pan
should be checked periodically to make sure it is draining prop-
erly. The drain hoses and condensation pan should be flushed
clean if they become restricted by mold or debris.
The intake line for the pump is equipped with a sea strainer that
must be checked for debris frequently and cleaned as neces-
sary. The procedure for cleaning the strainer is the same as for
the generator sea strainer Refer to the Electrical Systems and
Raw Water System chapters and the for information on the air
conditioning pumps and cleaning the sea strainers.
You also should refer to the air conditioner owner’s manual for
additional operating and maintenance instructions.
Note: Air conditioners use surface water as a cooling me-
dium. The boat must be in the water and the raw
water supply system must be properly activated
prior to use. Operation without proper cooling
could cause the air conditioning circuit breaker to
trip and could cause system damage. Always check
for proper water flow out of the air conditioning
pump discharge thru-hull when the air conditioner
is operating.
