Cockpit Seating
WARNING
DROWNING OR LOSS OF CONTROL HAZARD
Ejection or sudden loss of control can cause death or serious injury from
improper use of seating. DO NOT stand while driving above the engine idle
speeds and make sure cockpit seat is in the locked/secured position and all
passengers are seated when the boat is underway.
EIDB Dual-Battery System—If Equipped
The EIDB dual-battery system protects your starting battery from discharging
when high amperage accessories, like a high-output stereo system, are being
used. The system allows the amperage to be drawn from the accessory battery
only, without drawing from the starter battery. When the engine is restarted,
both batteries will be charged, but will direct the charge to the weaker bat-
tery first.
Batteries
The standard battery is a heavy duty, marine grade 12 V battery. This battery
primarily serves as the cranking battery and can operate standard equipment. A
cranking battery is not designed to fully discharge like a deep cycle battery which
can be fully discharged more often. It is not recommended to fully discharge
the cranking battery. Do not have the battery switch on Combine while op-
erating the boat. The battery switch should only be on Combine in case of an
emergency.
The EIDB Dual-Battery System includes a cranking battery and a deep cycle bat-
tery. A Deep Cycle Battery is designed specifically for providing constant power
to high-output stereo systems for extended periods of time.
Engine Compartment Cover
The engine compartment cover is a machinery guard and must be in place and
closed whenever the engine is running. DO NOT operate your boat without the
cover in place or closed unless you are performing a check or maintenance.
WARNING
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
Contact with moving parts can entangle, cut and cause death or serious
injury. Never get close enough to make contact with any running machinery
moving parts, i.e. engine or propeller. Contact can result in loss of body parts,
strangulation, burns and/or severe loss of blood resulting in serious injury or
death.
V-Drive Models
To open the engine cover, first open both rear storage compartments by lifting.
Next remove the storage tub. To close, place the storage tub back over the
engine and slowly lower the back hatches. Keep hands, fingers or any other
obstructions clear when closing.
Observer’s Seat
Lift up on the bottom of the observer’s seat to access storage under the glove
box. Leave the seat up periodically to help keep the storage area dry.
Reversible Bench — Reversible Bench
The rear bench seat can be turned to an aft facing position. To do this, lift the
port and starboard bench cushions. Grab the handle in the reversible bench,
pick up the seat, and turn it around. Insert the black plastic tabs into the open-
ings on either side of the cockpit, ensuring that the plastic slides underneath the
aluminum retainers on both sides. If the tabs of the bench are not beneath the
retainers, the bench could tip backwards, causing injury. Lower the port and
starboard bench cushions.
