Exterior Equipment
Windshield
The boat is equipped with an acrylic windshield
mounted to the front of the center console. Acrylic
panels on each side of the console provide addi-
tional protection. Acrylic glass scratches easily.
Never use a dry cloth or glass cleaning solutions
on acrylic. Use a soft cloth and mild soap and
water for routine cleaning. Solvents and products
containing ammonia can permanently damage
acrylic. Please refer to the Routine Maintenance
chapter for more information on the proper care
and maintenance of acrylic plastic glass.
The windshield slides in a track and can be lowered
to provide ventilation at the helm and improved
visibility. The windshield is raised and lowered
manually by two handles on the forward side of
the windshield. Special friction knobs in the track
on each side of the windshield secure it in the
desired position. Refer to the Ventilation chapter
for instructions on operating the windshield vent.
The windshield/hardtop frame is powder coated
aluminum. Powder coated aluminum is very
durable and provides excellent resistance to the
corrosive eects of saltwater, however, it must
be maintained properly and certain precautions
must be observed.
The windshield should be washed after each use
with soap water to keep it clean and reduce the
corrosive eects of the saltwater. Saltwater al-
lowed to remain on the windshield frame will
eventually begin to attack the aluminum, usually
around fasteners and hardware mounted to the
frame.
Do not drill into or install any hardware to the alu-
minum frame. Poor maintenance or hardware and
snaps mounted to the frame can void the warranty
on the powder coated windshield/hardtop frame.
Refer to the Routine Maintenance chapter for
more information on the care and maintenance
of powder coated aluminum.
