In-Floor Storage Compartment
There is a large storage compartment located
passenger seats. The compartment drains to the
bilge and is equipped with “dry deck” padding to
allow for better drainage and air circulation in
the compartment. A drain rail around the hatch
channels water away from the compartment to
the bilge.
A gas spring holds the hatch in the open position
on the twist lock latch remains up when the latch
is not secured. Always make sure the hatch is
closed with the latch in the secured position and
above idle speed.
Head and Cabin Compartment Doors
Each door and hatch are made of acrylic plastic
glass. The one piece hatch is supported in the
open position by two gas springs and latches to
the door with a lockable latch when closed.
The door is hinged and swings open against the
side of the walk-through. A magnetic latch secures
each door in the open position. It is very impor-
tant that the cabin or head compartment door is
secured properly in the open or closed position.
The door could be damaged or hurt a passenger
by the motion of the boat if it is allowed to swing
free. The doors and hatches should be closed
and latched whenever the boat is underway. The
magnetic latch that holds the doors in the open
position could allow them to slam closed in rough
water.
When securing the door and hatch, close the door
to latch the hatch to the door.
The door and hatch are made of acrylic plastic
glass. Acrylic glass scratches easily and can chip.
Please refer to the Routine Maintenance chapter
for information on the proper care and mainte-
nance of acrylic plastic glass.
Refer to the Interior Equipment chapter for infor-
mation on cabin and head compartment equip-
ment and operation.
