Bilge Access
Latch
Accessing the bilge in the 296 is made easy in a few brief steps. First, locate and disengage the latch on the starboard bottom
of the aft seating. Next, lift the entire back panel up so that the compartment is revealed behind the seat. This compartment
holds the bilge and other important features. With this effortless accessibility comes peace of mind on the water because in
case of an emergency, the ball valves can be easily located without straining to find them. Maintenance and servicing also
become easier with a more spacious work area. Before closing, make sure to disengage the catch on the supporting gas
shock. Failure to do so will break the gas shock.
