down position. Refer to the Ventilation chapter
for instructions on operating the windshield.
The windshield wiper and washer is standard on
your Everglades boat. A special lockout mecha-
nism prevents the windshield wiper or washer from
activating unless the windshield is in the full up
(closed) position. You should always make sure
the windshield is in the full up position before
activating the windshield wiper.
The windshield wiper should only be used when
the windshield is wet. The windshield glass can
be scratched by activating the wiper when there
is dried salt or dirt on the windshield. The wind-
shield washers are supplied by the fresh water
system. Always make sure the fresh water pump
is activated before using the windshield washers.
The windshield/hardtop frame is powder coated
aluminum. Powder coated aluminum is very
durable and provides excellent resistance to the
corrosive effects of saltwater, however, it must
be maintained properly and certain precautions
must be observed.
The windshield should be washed after each use
with soap water to keep it clean and reduce the
corrosive effects of the saltwater. Saltwater al-
lowed to remain on the windshield frame will
eventually begin to attack the aluminum, usually
around fasteners and hardware mounted to the
frame.
Do not drill into or install any hardware to the alu-
minum frame. Poor maintenance or hardware and
snaps mounted to the frame can void the warranty
on the powder coated windshield/hardtop frame.
Refer to the Routine Maintenance chapter for
more information on the care and maintenance
of powder coated aluminum.
Head Compartment Door
The head compartment door on the port side of
the console is equipped with vents in the lower
section. A magnetic latch automatically secures
the door in the open position and a lockable, push
to close latch secures the door when it is closed.
It is very important that the head compartment
door is secured properly in the closed position
whenever the boat is operated above idle speed.
The head compartment door is heavy and if the

slam shut when the boat rocks and pinch some-
one’s fingers between the door and cabin or dam -
age the door.

THE DOOR IS HEAVY SWINGS EASILY. IF THE DOOR IS LEFT
UNLATCHED, IT COULD SLAM UNEXPECTEDLY AS THE BOAT
ROCKS, DAMAGING THE DOOR OR CAUSING AN INJURY TO A
PASSENGER. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE DOOR IS PROPERLY
SECURED IN THE OPEN OR CLOSED POSITION.
