fittings to ensure they are double clamped where needed and that there are no fuel leaks in any of the hoses.
Also, inspect the oil system, if applicable, and ensure that the oil tank and hoses remain properly connected and
secured.
If you notice a fuel odor or see fuel in the bilge, there may be a leak somewhere in the fuel system. Correct any
fuel leaks before operating the vessel.
Caution: If at all possible
, any fuel tank and or fuel system repair should be handled by your
dealer’s service department or by another qualified professional.
Seating
The following seating comes standard on the 35 Express:
Command Seat at the Helm
Lounge w/Bolster and Storage (Port)
Rear Facing Seat (Port)
Transom Fold Down Seat
Hatches, Windows, Doors, and Storage
Hatches and Latches
Deck Hatches - The deck hatches for the anchor locker, bilge, cockpit storage compartment and the 2 fish boxes
are made of fiberglass and can easily withstand the weight of passengers and gear; just like the rest of the deck
surfaces.
The twist latches that are installed on the fiberglass deck hatches are made of stainless steel. Just lift the handle
of the latch from the recessed area of the hatch, twist it and lift the hatch open. Make sure that all hatches are
closed and secured before you get underway. Lift the handle of the latch, turn it 180 degrees so that the latch
catches and return the handle to the recessed area of the hatch.
Some of the fiberglass hatches are equipped with gas shocks. The gas shocks allow you to easily open and
close the hatches. The gas shocks also hold the hatches in place when they are open. The latch for the cockpit
storage compartment is equipped with a locking latch and comes with a set of 2 numbered keys. We recommend
that you make note of the key number and keep it in a safe place. In the event that you need to replace the keys,
you will not need to replace the entire lock assembly.
