Bow Seating Area Access
The bow seat area is accessed by opening the
walk-through door and the center windshield panel.
Walk-Through Door
An acrylic door secured with a ush, push to
close latch provides the ability to close o the
walk-through area below the opening windshield
panel when desired. The door is designed to nest
against the helm storage compartment door when
it is open. The latch secures the door in the open
or closed position. To secure the door in either
position, push the door until the latch catches.
Both doors need to be opened simultaneously to
access the helm storage compartment when the
walk-through door is nested and latched against
the storage compartment door.
Always make sure the walk-through door is se-
curely latched in the open or close position before
operating the boat. Periodically clean and lubri-
cate the latches to protect them from corrosion
and help keep them operating properly.
Opening Windshield Center Panel
The center windshield panel is opened by releas-
ing the two latches on the panel and opening it. A
magnetic stop on the deck automatically secures
the windshield section in the open position. Use
caution when opening the windshield panel. The
magnet is very powerful and could cause injury or
damage to the deck or windshield if the window
is allowed to slam against the stop. To close the
windshield panel, pull on the bottom of the panel
until the magnetic stop releases. Then close the
panel and secure it with the locks.
Always make sure the center windshield panel is
secured in the open or closed position and that
passengers in the bow seating area are properly
seated before operating the boat above idle speed.
The passengers also should not be restricting the
forward visibility of the operator.
PASSENGERS RIDING IN THE BOW SEATING AREA WHILE
CRUISING COULD RESTRICT THE OPERATOR’S VISIBILITY.
THIS IS A FREQUENT CAUSE OF ACCIDENTS. POSITION
PASSENGERS SO THEY DON’T BLOCK THE OPERATOR’S
VISIBILITY OR MOVE THEM TO SEATS IN THE MAIN COCKPIT
WHILE THE BOAT IS CRUISING.
