Stern Bilge Access
There is a removable access hatch below the stern seat that
provides access to the fuel filter, aft bilge pump, automatic
switch for the bilge pump, and other equipment mounted in
the stern bilge.

Bow Storage Compartments, Fishboxes and Coolers
There are three large storage compartments and a below deck
compartment/cooler located below the seats in the bow. The
hatches are equipped with gas hatch springs and latches to se-
cure the hatches in the closed position. The side compartments
are insulated and can be used for dunnage, fishboxes or coolers.
The center hatch provides access to a storage compartment and
the anchor/rope locker. Optional seat cushions are secured to
the port and starboard seat hatches with snaps.
Port and starboard bow compartments and the anchor locker
drain overboard to thru-hull fittings in the hull sides. The center
storage box drains into the bilge. Always make sure the hatches
are closed and properly latched before operating the boat.
A fold out table and drink holders are located in the bow be-
tween the port and starboard seats. It is hinged and held in
the open and closed position with gas springs. Hatches that
provide access to a storage compartment and the anchor locker
are located below the table. The table should only be used when
the boat is moored or at anchor. Always make sure to fold the
table to the stored position before operating the boat.
Another hatch in the sole just aft of the table provides access
to the below deck storage compartment/cooler. A gas spring
holds the hatch open and a twist latch secures it in the closed
position. The fishbox is drained by gravity to the bilge.
Console Cooler
A molded insulated cooler is installed under the front seat of the
console. The cooler drains to the bilge and should be cleaned
thoroughly after each use.
Rod Racks
There are two recessed rod storage racks located below each
gunnel in the cockpit. Always make sure the rods are properly
secured in the storage racks with the rod tips forward.

livewell are available options for the leaning post.
