OPERATING THE BOAT UNDER POWER WITH THE TRANSOM
DOOR OPEN MAY ALLOW PERSONS TO FALL OVERBOARD
AND INTO BOAT PROPELLERS OR TO BE LOST IN OPEN
WATER. ALWAYS CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE TRANSOM
DOOR IS PROPERLY CLOSED AND LATCHED BEFORE
STARTING THE ENGINES AND NEVER OPERATE THE BOAT
UNDER POWER WITH THE TRANSOM DOOR OPEN.
Rod Racks
There are recessed storage racks located be-
low the gunnel on each side of the cockpit. The
starboard rack is designed for rod storage and
equipped with stretch cords to secure the rods
to the racks. Always make sure the rods are
properly secured in the storage racks with the
rod tips forward.
The port rack is designed for deck brushes, boat
hooks or shing gas. It is also equipped with
stretch cords to secure equipment to the racks.
Always make sure equipment stored in the rack
is properly secured with the stretch cords.
UNPROTECTED FISHING GAFF HOOKS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
INJURY TO PASSENGERS IF THE GAFF IS NOT STORED
PROPERLY IN THE RACK. TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY
FOR INJURY, ALWAYS STORE GAFFS WITH THE GUARD
INSTALLED AND THE GAFF ROTATED SO THE HOOK IS
LAYING FLUSH AGAINST THE SIDE OF THE COCKPIT.
NEVER STORE A GAFF WITH THE HOOK UNPROTECTED
AND ROTATED SUCH THAT THE HOOK IS FACING TOWARD
THE COCKPIT.

A hatch in the rear of the cockpit provides ac-
cess to fuel lters, pumps, strainers and other
equipment in the stern bilge. The aft bilge pump,
baitwell pump, raw water pump and shbox pumps
are among the equipment in this compartment.
The hatch is held open by two gas charged springs
and secured closed with two ush, lift to release
latches. Always make sure the hatch is closed with
the latches in the secured position before operat-
ing the boat above idle speed.
Aft below Deck Fishboxes
Two large below deck shboxes are located on
each side of the cockpit. Each shbox hatch is
equipped with gas charged springs that hold the
Starboard Cockpit Rod Rack
hatch in the open position. Flush, lift to release
latches secure the hatches in the closed position.
Always make sure the hatch is closed with the
latches in the secured position before operating
the boat above idle speed.
Each shbox is drained by removing a drain plug
at the rear of the box or by an optional diaphragm
pump out system located in the aft systems
