10.2 Windshield Ventilation
The windshield can be lowered to provide ven-
tilation at the helm and improved visibility. The
windshield is raised and lowered by hydraulic
cylinders activated by an electric hydraulic pump
in the aft systems compartment. The system is
controlled by the Windshield switches in the helm
switch panel.
To lower the windshield, press and hold the Down
switch until the windshield is lowered to the de-
sired position, then release the switch. To close
the windshield, press and hold the Up switch
until the windshield is completely closed. Always
release the switch immediately when windshield
reaches the full down or closed position.
10.3 Bilge 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.
10.4 Maintenance
• Periodically lubricate all hinges and latch
assemblies with a light oil.
• Keep the windshield slide tracks clean.
Periodically coating the tracks with silicone
spray will reduce friction and keep the
windshield sliding smoothly.
• Periodically clean and coat gasket materials
with silicone to help keep them pliable.
