Gunwale Trim / Rubrail
A white rigid vinyl gunwale trim with a stainless steel insert is installed at the juncture of the deck and hull.
This durable trim provides a nice clean look and serves as somewhat of a cushion when you are docking,
coming along side another vessel, etc.
See the Service and Care section of this manual for cleaning recommendations.
Outriggers (Optional)
This option requires the installation of the optional hard top frame. The outrigger installation includes a
pair of outrigger bases, poles and lines. The bases are constructed of anodized aluminum and are
installed on each side of the optional hard top. Turn the handle at the bottom of the outrigger base to
rotate the outriggers 90
o
(from the side to the aft end of the boat).
Drain Plug
Before launching the boat, always make sure that the drain plug has been installed in the fitting on the
transom at the keel. If your boat is being transported, remove the drain plug once the boat is secured on
the trailer so that any excess water can be drained via the fitting. Never remove the drain plug when the
boat is sitting static in the water.
If you live in an area where it snows and you are storing your boat on a lift during the winter, make sure
that you remove the drain plug. When the snow melts, if the float switch for the bilge pump happens to
fail, it could flood the bilge and damage electrical components in the bilge.
Cockpit / Deck Drains
Cockpit/deck drains are installed in the aft area of the cockpit and
allow excess water in the cockpit to drain overboard via thru hulls
on each side of the boat. To ensure that there is no blockage in
any of the hoses connected to the drains, it is recommended that
you occasionally run water through each of the cockpit drains and
visually inspect the thru hulls to verify that water flows freely and
that there is no blockage. To trouble shoot, check the hoses for
leaks and make certain that all hose connections are secure.
Thru Hull Fittings
Thru hull fittings provide overboard drainage. The following photos indicate the source of drainage for
each of the thru hulls:
