NEVER LEAVE THE STORAGE COMPARTMENT DOORS
UNLATCHED. THE DOORS ARE HEAVY AND SWING EASILY. IF
A DOOR IS LEFT UNLATCHED, IT COULD SLAM UNEXPECTEDLY
AS THE BOAT ROCKS, DAMAGING THE DOOR OR CAUSING AN
INJURY TO A PASSENGER. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE DOORS
ARE PROPERLY SECURED IN THE CLOSED POSITION.
Windshield
The boat is equipped with an acrylic windshield
mounted to the front of the center console. Acrylic
panels on each console provide additional protec-
tion. Acrylic glass scratches easily. Never use a
dry cloth or glass cleaning solutions on acrylic.
Use a soft cloth and mild soap and water for rou-
tine cleaning. Solvents and products containing
ammonia can permanently damage acrylic. Please
refer to the Routine Maintenance chapter for more
information on the proper care and maintenance
of acrylic plastic glass.
The windshield slides in a track and can be lowered
to provide ventilation at the helm and improved
visibility. The windshield is raised and lowered
manually by two handles on the forward side of
the windshield. Special friction knobs in the track
on each side of the windshield secure it in the
desired position. Refer to the Ventilation chapter
for instructions on operating the windshield vent.
The windshield/hardtop frame is powder coated
aluminum. Powder coated aluminum is very
durable and provides excellent resistance to the
corrosive effects of saltwater, however, it must
be maintained properly and certain precautions
must be observed.
The windshield should be washed after each use
with soap water to keep it clean and reduce the
corrosive effects of the saltwater. Saltwater al-
lowed 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.
