Exterior Equipment
A cooler is built into the seat base between the
stern seats. It drains overboard through the
cockpit drain system. A twist lock latch secures
the cooler hatch in the closed position. Always
make sure the hatch is closed and properly latched
before operating the boat above slow speed.
The cooler hatch and seat backrest cushions
must be closed before tilting the engine beyond
trim range for shallow water operation or to the
trailering position. If the hatch or seat backrests
are open when the engine is tilted, the cowling will
hit the hatch or backrests causing damage to the
engine cowling and boat. Always make sure the
hatch is closed and the seat backrests are folded
down and latched before tilting the engine. We
recommend that the stern seat backrest cushions
always be folded down and latched whenever the
seats are not being used.
Notice:
Periodically inspect the backrest and seat
base latches for wear, damage or loose t.
Any problems should be corrected immedi-
ately.
PASSENGERS SITTING OR STANDING ON THE REAR
DECK WHILE THE BOAT IS CRUISING COULD LOSE
THEIR BALANCE AND FALL OVERBOARD INTO THE BOAT
PROPELLER OR BE LOST IN OPEN WATER. ALWAYS MAKE
SURE PASSENGERS RIDING IN THE REAR OF THE COCKPIT
ARE PROPERLY SEATED IN THE STERN SEATS WHENEVER
THE BOAT IS UNDERWAY.
THE ENGINE COWLING WILL HIT THE COOLER HATCH OR
STERN SEAT BACKRESTS IF THEY ARE OPEN WHEN THE
ENGINE IS TILTED BEYOND TRIM RANGE FOR SHALLOW
WATER OPERATION OR TO THE TRAILERING POSITION.
THIS CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE
COWLING AND THE BOAT. ALWAYS MONITOR THE ENGINE IT
TILTS AND MAKE SURE THE HATCH AND SEAT BACKRESTS
ARE CLOSED BEFORE TILTING THE ENGINE BEYOND THE
TRIM RANGE.
