Owner`s manual

Some specialized optional seating adds more comfort. Convertible seats allow the
seat back to be moved forward or back, changing the orientation. Note that there is
a button that is depressed to allow the seat back to slide. Be sure that the seat back
locking mechanism is securely engaged before using the seat back. Failure to engage
the locking mechanism may allow unintended movement that could result in a per-
son losing balance or even falling. e convertible seat back at the transom seating is
intended to be used only when the boat is stationary and the engine is OFF. e seat
back must be in the forward facing position, never aft facing, when the engine is run
-
ning or the boat is underway. Positioned aft facing, the seat back offers no security to
persons seated at the back of the boat and they could slide off and into the water, with
the possibility of making contact with the transom or swim platform, which could
result in injury. Also, while the seat back is positioned to allow aft seating, individuals
may be exposed to carbon monoxide if the 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.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, odorless and poisonous gas that accumulates rapidly and
can cause serious injury or death. Exposure to carbon monoxide can be fatal in a matter of minutes.
Exposure to even low concentrations of carbon monoxide must not be ignored because the effects
of exposure to carbon monoxide can build up and be just as lethal as high concentrations. 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, and DO NOT swim or engage in any
watersports or other activities in or near the stern area of the boat, including, without limitation,
the swim platform and the rear sun deck, when the engine is in operation. Under no circumstances
should the owner and/or operator allow persons to hold onto the swim platform while the engine is
operating and the boat is in motion. These activities (sometimes known as “teak surfing” or “plat-
form dragging,” where the participant holds onto the swim platform and is pulled through the water,
and/or “body surfs” immediately behind the boat) are extremely dangerous, highly likely to result in
death or serious bodily injury, and are a misuse of this product.
Convertible seat backs should always be in the forward-facing 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 pas-
sengers while the boat is underway. Convertible seat backing should always be secured prior to use.
Care should be taken to avoid pinching fingers or other skin when sliding the backing.
Shower or Wash Down
Many models offer a shower or wash down option. A single three-position switch mounted in an aft position
storage area controls the optional shower and optional Slick Boot functions. e switch is marked for each. Turn
the switch toward the Shower marking to turn ON the shower. Return to center for OFF. Turn to the other direc-
tion to turn ON the Slick Boot. Return to center for OFF. ese instructions work whether the boat is equipped
with one (1) or both of the options, but will not be found in boats that are not equipped with either option.
On V Series, CSX 220 or 265, the X-Star and the Saltwater Series a tank option within available models can
provide a fresh-water wash of the boat interior. e tank will be eight (8), ten (10) or twenty-five (25) gallons
capacity, depending on the boat model. e two-position switch is pressed up for ON and down for OFF.
Do not use the shower with the engine running.
Carbon monoxide is emitted from the engine’s exhaust system. Never run the engine without proper
ventilation. Do not run the engine in a confined space or where fumes may be trapped.
Routine maintenance is not required beyond occasionally checking the lines and shower head to be certain
these elements are not damaged in any fashion. Be certain to follow the Storage & Winterization section’s in-
structions found elsewhere in this Owner’s Manual.
