Ventilation System
The companionway door is used to close off the
walk-thru area below the opening windshield panel
when desired and is designed to “nest” against
the starboard storage compartment door when
it is open. To secure the door in either position,
push the door until the latch catches.
The windshield panel and door could be damaged
or hurt a passenger by the motion of the boat if
allowed to swing free. Always make sure the
center windshield panel and companionway door
are properly secured in the open or closed posi-
tion. This is particularly important when the boat
is underway.
10.3 Maintenance
• Periodically lubricate friction knobs, hinges and
latch assemblies with a light oil.
• Periodically clean and coat gasket materials
with silicone to help keep them pliable.
