Exterior Equipment
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
electric hydraulic pump located in the aft systems
compartment 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.
The windshield wiper should only be used when
the windshield is wet. The windshield glass can be
scratched by activating the wiper when there is dried
salt or dirt on the windshield. The windshield wash-
ers are supplied by the fresh water system. Always
make sure the fresh water pump is activated before
using the windshield washers.
The windshield/hardtop frame is powder coated alu-
minum. 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 and water to keep it clean and reduce the cor-
rosive eects of the saltwater. Saltwater allowed 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.
Head Compartment Door
The door is on the port side of the console. A mag-
netic latch automatically secures the door in the open
position and a lockable, push to close latch secures
the door when it is closed.
It is very important that the door is secured properly
in the closed position whenever the boat is operated
above idle speed. The door is heavy and if it is not
closed and properly latched, it could slam shut when
the boat rocks and pinch someone’s ngers between
the door and console or damage the door.
