Exterior Equipment
Special cam action compression latches on each
side secure the seat base in the closed position. A
gas charged spring helps lift the seat and secures
it in the open position. The gas spring is equipped
with an integrated support strut that secures the
spring and seat base in the open position and
prevents it from closing accidentally.
To engage the support strut, open the seat base,
then lift the front of the base while pressing the
strut toward the spring ram until the strut seats
against the ram above the cylinder housing. To
release the strut and close the seat base, lift the
front of the seat base while pressing the strut
away from the spring ram until it clears the cyl-
inder housing. Lower the seat base slightly and
the strut will slide along the side of the cylinder
housing allowing the seat base to close.
NOTICE:
To avoid damage to the seat base and gas
spring, the support strut must released be-
fore closing the seat base.
When the seat base is closed, it must be latched
with both cam latches to secure the base and
prevent it from opening while underway. It is also
important to make sure the seat backrests, cooler
hatch and seat base are properly latched before
trailering the boat. Never operate or trailer the
boat with seat the base, seat backrests or cooler
hatch unlatched.
Rod Racks
There are recessed rod storage racks located
below the gunnel on each side of the cockpit.
They are 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.
Bait Station and Baitwell
A bait prep station equipped with a sink, cutting
board, baitwell and tackle storage is on the rear
of the helm seat base. The is also a recess on
each side for re extinguishers.
The sink is plumbed to the fresh water system
and has a removable spray head that reaches to
each side of the station or can be used as a fresh
water shower. The sink and baitwell are drained
by gravity to a thru-hull tting in the hull side.
Grab rails, cup holder, accommodation for hooks,
knives and tools are built into the top of the sta-
tion. There is a tackle locker on each side with
