Exterior Equipment
A molded recess located in the seat base below
the seats is designed for re extinguishers. The
recessed mounting location keeps the re extin-
guishers out of the way and readily available.
Bow Seats and Storage Compartments
There are 2 storage compartments located in the
bow below the seats that are secured with lockable
“push to close” latches. The bow seat cushions
are secured to the hatches with snaps and should
be removed and stored when the boat is not be-
ing used. The compartments drain by gravity to
the bilge.
Forward below Deck Fishbox
An insulated shbox is located below the cockpit
sole, just forward of the console seats. The hatch
is equipped with a gas charged spring that holds
the hatch in the open position. Drain rails around
the hatch are equipped with drains that are con-
nected to thru-hull ttings in the hull below the
water line. A ush, twist lock latch secures the
hatch in the closed position. There is a large red
dot in the handle that indicates that the latch is
in the open position and the hatch is not secure.
Always make sure the hatch is closed with the
latch in the secured position before operating the
boat above idle speed.
The shbox is drained by a centrifugal pump ac-
tivated by a switch in the helm switch panel. Be
sure to monitor the water level in the shbox and
turn the pump off as soon as pumping is complete.
The pump could be damaged if it is allowed to run
dry for extended periods. The shbox should be
pumped out and cleaned after each use. Refer to
the Drainage Systems chapter for more informa-
tion on the shbox drainage.
