Exterior Equipment
Notice:
Periodically inspect the backrest and seat
base latches and supports for wear, damage
or loose t. Any problems should be cor-
rected immediately.
PASSENGERS SITTING OR STANDING ON THE REAR
DECK WHILE THE BOAT IS CRUISING COULD LOOSE
THEIR BALANCE AND FALL OVERBOARD INTO THE BOAT
PROPELLER OR BE LOST IN OPEN WATER. ALWAYS MAKE
SURE PASSENGERS RIDING IN THE REAR OF THE COCKPIT
ARE PROPERLY SEATED IN THE STERN SEAT SEATS
WHENEVER THE BOAT IS UNDERWAY.
THE ENGINE COWLINGS WILL HIT THE COOLER HATCH
OR STERN SEAT BACKRESTS IF THEY ARE OPEN WHEN
THE ENGINES ARE TILTED BEYOND TRIM RANGE FOR
SHALLOW WATER OPERATION OR TO THE TRAILERING
POSITION. THIS CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE
ENGINE COWLINGS AND THE BOAT. ALWAYS MONITOR
THE ENGINES AS THEY TILT AND MAKE SURE THE HATCH
AND SEAT BACKRESTS ARE CLOSED BEFORE TILTING THE
ENGINES BEYOND THE TRIM RANGE.
Stern Seat Base & Aft Systems Compartment
The seat base is hinged at the rear and opens
to provide access to the aft bilge and systems
compartment. The batteries, fuel lters, fresh
water pump and raw water pump are among the
equipment installed in the compartment below
the stern seat base.
The system compartment is illuminated by an
overhead light with a touch activated switch. A
dim LED light near the center of the light indicates
the location of the switch. Touch the switch once
to turn the light on. Touch the switch again to
turn it o.
Notice:
The cooler hatch and seat backrest cushions
must be closed before opening the stern seat
base to access the aft systems compartment.
If the hatch or seat backrests are open when
the seat base is opened, the cowlings could
be hit by the hatch or backrests causing dam-
age to the engine cowlings and boat. Always
make sure the hatch is closed and the seat
backrests are folded down and latched before
raising the seat base.
