Forward Console Cooler/Seat
There is a removable cooler with a seat cushion
just forward of the console. It is secured to the
cockpit sole by special brackets and stretch cords.
The removable seat cushion is secured to the
cooler lid with snaps and a bolster on the hardtop
frame just above the cooler provides a backrest for
the cooler seat. The cooler drains to the cockpit
and should be cleaned thoroughly after each use.
THE COOLER COULD SLIDE UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE
UNDERWAY CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE BOAT OR INJURY TO
A PASSENGER SITTING ON THE COOLER SEAT IF IT IS NOT
SECURED PROPERLY. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE COOLER IS
SECURED PROPERLY IN THE BRACKETS WITH THE STRAPS
BEFORE OPERATING THE BOAT.
