Windshield
Your boat is equipped with a tempered safety glass
windshield. The front and side panels are also
tempered safety glass.
The windshield slides down to provide ventilation at
the helm and improved visibility. It is lowered and
raised by hydraulic cylinders on each side of the
windshield. The cylinders are activated by an elec-
tric hydraulic pump located in the head compart-
ment bilge that is controlled by the WINDSHIELD
UP/DOWN switches in the helm switch panels or
touch screen display.
You should always monitor the travel of the wind-
shield as it is opened or closed and be ready to re-
lease the switch immediately when the windshield
reaches the full up or full down position. Refer to
the Ventilation chapter for instructions on operat-
ing the windshield.
The windshield wiper and washer is standard equip-
ment on your boat. A special lockout mechanism
prevents the windshield wiper or washer from ac-
tivating unless the windshield is closed. You should
always make sure the windshield is in the full up
position before activating the windshield wiper.
