Bow Seats and Storage Compartments
There are two bench seats with cup holders in
the bow, forward of the windshield. Storage
boxes located below each seat drain by gravity
to the bilge. The bow seat cushions are secured
to the storage compartment hatches with special
bolts and wing nuts. The hatches are hinged and
equipped with “push to close” latches that secure
each hatch when they are closed. A push lever
in the center of each hatch releases the latch so
the hatch can be opened. Always make sure the
hatches are completely closed and latched before
operating the boat.
The bow seat area is accessed by releasing the
cam latch on the center windshield panel and
opening it. A magnetic stop on the deck automati-
cally secures the windshield section in the open
position. A gas charged shock helps prevent the
panel from being slammed open or closed, which
will damage the latch or break the panel. Use
caution when opening the windshield walk-thru.
The magnet is very powerful and could cause
injury or damage to the deck or windshield if the
window is allowed to slam against the stop. To
close the windshield panel, pull rmly on the bot-
tom of the panel until the magnetic stop releases.
Then close the panel and secure it with the cam
