IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS, OPEN EXTERIOR
DOORS AND HATCHES THAT ARE NOT SECURED
PROPERLY CAN SLAM CLOSED UNEXPECTEDLY
AND CAUSE INJURY TO PASSENGERS OR DAMAGE
TO THE BOAT. SOME DOORS AND HATCHES ARE
EQUIPPED WITH SPECIAL FASTENERS, HATCH
LIFTERS, OR SNAPS AND/OR STRAPS, TO SECURE
THEM IN THE OPEN POSITION. ALWAYS MAKE
SURE THAT THESE HATCHES AND DOORS ARE
PROPERLY SECURED WHENEVER THEY ARE IN
THE OPEN POSITION.
Leaning Post Bait Station
The leaning post bait station is equipped with a sink and is
supplied by a fresh water circulating pump. It is equipped with
an overflow that controls the water level and drains overboard.
Refer to the Raw Water System chapter for additional informa-
tion on the livewell.
Storage for fishing tackle is provided by two drawers below
the sink.
Port and Starboard Fishboxs
The fishboxes are located in the floor on the aft port and star-
board sides of the cockpit. A gas spring holds the hatch in the
open and closed position. The fishbox is drained by gravity
through a drain sleeve out the side of the hull. Always make
sure the hatch is properly closed before operating the boat and
clean the fishbox after each use.
Stern Bilge Access
There is an access hatch below the stern seat that provides ac-
cess to the fuel filter, aft bilge pump, automatic switch for the
bilge pump, and other equipment mounted in the stern bilge.
Stern Seat
The seat cushion and backrest is hinged and can be folded to
provide clearance for the engines when they are tilted to the
full up position or to provide access to the stern of the boat.
The backrest is also a wave gate and should always be folded
down before tilting the engines and returned to the up position
before operating the boat above idle speed. Never leave the
transom access open when the boat is underway.
The bottom seat cushion is mounted to a slotted hinge that
allows it to drop in front of the stern seat base where it is
secure and to allow the backrest to fold down. It can also be
removed.
To fold the seat, lift the front of the bottom seat cushion
and pull it toward the bow of the boat. The retaining pins
at the rear of seat will clear the receivers as the seat moves
forward in the slotted hinges. Then lower the cushion until it
is vertical. Pull forward on the wave gate/backrest to release
the friction latches. It is hinged and will lower to rest flat on
the seat base, securing the bottom seat cushion and providing
a standing platform.
To raise the seat, make sure the engines are down and raise
the wave gate/backrest to the full up position. Push firmly
to secure it with the friction latches. Then lift the front of
the bottom seat cushion until it is horizontal, then push it
towards the stern. As the cushion slides back in the slotted
hinges, align the retaining pins at the rear of the seat with
the receivers. Push the front of seat towards the stern and
down to fully seat the retaining pins and secure the seat
cushion.
To remove the seat, lift the front of the bottom seat cushion
and pull it toward the bow of the boat until the retaining pins
at the rear clear the receiver. Then lower the cushion until it
is almost vertical. Align the hinge pin with the top slot in the
in the port slotted hinge. Lift the port side of the cushion until
the pin clears the hinge and remove the seat.
Note: Periodically inspect the folding seat fittings for
