Exterior Equipment
Aft Systems Compartment Access Hatch
A hatch in the rear of the cockpit provides access
to the fuel lters, pumps, strainers and other
equipment in the stern bilge. The stern bilge
pump, baitwell pump, raw water pump and op-
tional shbox pumps are among the equipment
in this compartment. The hatch is held open by
two gas charged hatch lifters 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 operating 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 hatch lifters that hold
the 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
compartment bilge.
The pumps are activated by a switch in the helm
switch panel. Be sure to monitor the water level
in the shbox and turn the pump o as soon as
pumping is complete. A pump could be damaged
if it is allowed to run dry for extended periods.
The shboxes should be drained and cleaned after
each use. Refer to the Drainage Systems chapter
for more information on the shbox drainage.
