2016 OWNERS MANUAL / 0289
Special Attention
In models equipped with a judge’s seat, the observer seat must
always be closed prior to any adjustments to the judge’s seat back
rest, including installing or removing the seat. Failure to close the
observer seat can result in damage to the observer seat upholstery.
Such damage may not be covered by the warranty.
Special Attention
In some models, removable cushions are available as an option. In
those instances, regardless of where the cushions are custom-built
to be placed, they will be constructed of the same materials as the
rest of the upholstery material. That means that they will require the
same cleaning and care. (See Care and Maintenance upholstery
information in this Owner’s Manual.) Removable cushions should
also be stowed in storage when the boat is underway unless they
are snapped into position. Failure to stow or snap removable
cushions could result in the cushion being lost overboard.
Carbon monoxide from exhaust pipes of inboard or outboard
engines may build up inside and outside the boat in areas near
exhaust vents, particularly during slow-speed operations. STAY
AWAY from these exhaust vent areas, which are located at the
stern of the boat when the boat engine is running.
Optional jump seats also have latches to hold them in place. Open
the observer seat adjacent to the jump seat and note that there
is a lock pin that should be inserted to hold the jump seat secure
against the side deck of the observer seat. Failure to do this could
allow the jump seat to move during boat operation, which could
result in passenger injury.
Aft-facing seat backs at the transom or sun pad should always be
in the stowed position when the boat is underway. Anyone seated
facing aft could become dislodged when the boat is underway,
which could result in sliding off the seating and making contact
with the transom or swim platform. Jump seats should be secured
against the deck with a lock pin accessible under the observer
seat to avoid dislodging passengers while the boat is underway.
Removable seat backing should always be secured prior to use.
Care should be taken to avoid pinching fingers or other skin when
sliding the backing or securing/removing the removable seats.
