2021 OWNERS MANUAL / 298
Location
Vary by model. See the Guide to Individual Models in this Owner’s
Manual to determine the location in your model.
Operation
In using the cooler, ensure that the lid is securely closed prior to
operation of the boat. If the lid is not secure, water, ice and food/
beverage items may become dislodged and spill into the void where
the cooler is stored. Be sure to keep the cooler in the designated
location as shown in the Guide to Individual Models in this Owner’s
Manual. Coolers that are placed in other locations, including on the
deck, are not secure. While the coolers themselves have minimal
weight, if they contain ice, food and beverage, the combined weight
can cause injury if the cooler moves around during operation.
Coolers should always be stowed in the appropriate designated lo-
cation of the boat as noted in the Guide to Individual Models section
of this Owner’s Manual. Stocked coolers can have enough weight to
cause imbalance in the boat and/or cause injury upon contact.
NOTE: 2015 and newer models have shock assisted cooler cush-
ions to eliminate the need to hold the cushion up while remov-
ing and installing the cooler, as well as accessing the cooler for
beverages/food. The shock could have reduced performance if
the cooler cushion is saturated with water. Also, if the seat hinges
become misaligned, and the shock interferes with the clearance
hole, the hinge may be damaged or the substrate or seat base may
be deformed.
Special Attention
As with any similar coolers, routine cleaning with warm soapy water
is advised after each use. Check whether anything from inside the
cooler has been spilled or in some manner ended up in the storage
area in which the cooler is kept. This should be cleaned up imme-
diately to avoid mold, mildew, stains or other damage that is not
covered under warranty.
Food items or anything that can create an odor or leak should not
be left in the cooler, as they could damage the cooler. This type of
damage is not covered under warranty.
Clean the cooler (and the storage compartment in which the cooler
is stored) after each outing in which the cooler is used. Failure to
do so can cause damage that is not covered under warranty.
Additional Special Attention
Do not drink water from melted ice or water that is not in containers.
The cooler may contain contaminants.
