Exterior Equipment
Rod Lockers
There are rod storage lockers behind lockable
doors on either side of the cockpit near the bow.
The locker doors are secured with special locking,
ush mounted, “push to close” latches. LED lights
illuminate each locker when the hatches are open.
Always make sure the rods are properly secured
in the racks with the rod tips forward. The lockers
drain by gravity to the cockpit.
Side Storage/Life Jacket Compartments
There are storage compartments on each side of
the cockpit, forward of the helm. The compart-
ments are designed to accommodate life jackets
or dunnage. Each compartment drains to the bilge
and is accessed by a door secured with “push to
close” latches. Large vents in each door provide
air circulation to keep jackets dry and help prevent
mold and mildew.
Forward Below Deck Fishbox
An insulated shbox is located below the cockpit
sole, just forward of the console lounge. The hatch
is equipped with gas charged springs that hold
it in the open position. A ush, twist lock latch
secures the hatch in the closed position. There
is a 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 diaphragm pump in the
cabin bilge activated 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 pump-
ing 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 information on the shbox drainage.
Drain rails around the hatch are equipped with
drains that are connected to thru-hull ttings in
the hull sides.
Cockpit Portable Propane Grill (Optional)
A portable propane gas gunnel mounted grill is
an available option. Propane fuel for the grill is
usually provided by 1 lb. disposable propane fuel
canisters. The fuel canisters are sold separately
and are not included with the grill.
Portable gas grills can be a re hazard if not used
properly and are not intended for use in the cock-
