Ventilation System
10.2 Windshield Ventilation
The windshield can be lowered to provide ventila-
tion at the helm and improved visibility. The wind-
shield is raised and lowered by hydraulic cylinders
activated by an electric hydraulic pump in the
head compartment. The system is controlled by
the Windshield switch in the hardtop switch panel.
To lower the windshield, press and hold the switch
in the down position until the windshield is lowered
to the desired position, then release the switch.
To close the windshield, hold the switch in the up
position until the windshield is completely closed.
Always release the switch immediately when wind-
shield reaches the full down or closed position.
A limit switch in the slide track prevents the wind-
shield wiper from operating while the windshield
is lowered. Always make sure the windshield is
in the full up position before attempting to use
the wiper.
10.3 Bilge and System
Compartment Ventilation
Ventilation to the bilge is provided by vents lo-
cated on each side of the cockpit liner, below the
gunnels. The vents provide air circulation in the
bilge compartment to reduce odors, mildew and
provide ventilation for the batteries. Make sure
to keep these vents clear and unobstructed.
The air ow that circulates in and out of the bilge
and systems compartment is provided by four
vents located on either side of the cockpit. The
pressure differential created at the vents as the
wind passes over the cockpit provides adequate
air movement.
