Salt Water Washdown
Salt water washdown is standard on the 296 center console model. The pump is located in the port bilge and is accessible
through the flip up seat opening. To operate, hook a hose to the salt water receptacle located by the transom gate above the
port deck drain. Flip the switch labeled “Saltwater Washdown”. The pump will pressurize the system with salt water. Once the
system is pressurized, the pump will shut itself off with an internal pressure switch and will switch itself back on as you
demand water. Make sure to occasionally clean the strainer with pump in the “OFF” position. There is also a spray nozzle
installed into the leaning post for rinsing the cockpit floor. Be careful to only spray gel-coated fiberglass surfaces
with saltwater and avoid all other areas. Always rinse your boat with freshwater as soon as you return to the dock or home if
the boat is being trailered.

Gas Shocks
Located on the aft seating panel, cooler lid access, and console head access are gas shocks that insure that the entranceways
are safe and secure in choppy waters. Once open all the way, the shocks lock into place and can only be released by pushing
up on the metal slide that covers the shock. Before closing, make sure to disengage the catch on the supporting gas shock.
Failure to do so will break the gas shock.
