Coolers and Transom Door

Transom Door

A transom door is incorporated in-between the

stern coolers. The transom door should only be

opened when the boat is not in motion. The door

must be latched in the “CLOSED” position

before operating the boat. Never leave the

transom door unlatched.

Note: Periodically inspect the transom door fittings for wear, damage, or loose fit. Any

problems should be inspected and corrected immediately.

NEVER OPEN THE TRANSOM DOOR WHILE UNDERWAY OR IN ROUGH SEA CONDITIONS.

IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS, AN OPEN TRANSOM DOOR COULD ALLOW A SUBSTANTIAL

AMOUNT OF WATER TO ENTER THE COCKPIT CREATING A POTENTIALLY DANGER-

OUS CONDITION. THE TRANSOM DOOR SHOULD BE CLOSED AND PROPERLY LATCHED

WHENEVER THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.

OPERATING THE BOAT UNDER POWER WITH THE TRANSOM DOOR OPEN MAY AL-

LOW PERSONS TO FALL OVERBOARD AND INTO BOAT PROPELLERS OR TO BE LOST

IN OPEN WATER. ALWAYS CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE TRANSOM DOOR IS PROP-

ERLY CLOSED AND LATCHED BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINES AND NEVER OPERATE

THE BOAT UNDER POWER WITH THE TRANSOM DOOR OPEN.

Stern Jump Seats

Your boat is equipped with stern jump seats. The seats are designed with a telescoping support leg

that allows the seats to fold against the rear of the cockpit when they are not in use.

To use the seats, raise the seat base and extend the leg to the open position. Secure the leg with the

quick release pins, then guide the bottom of the leg into the radius of the cockpit sole and the rear

vertical surface of the cockpit. The leg should be at approximately 45

to the seat base when it is

in the proper support position.

To fold the seats to the stored position, raise the seat and remove the quick release pins on the leg.

Shorten the leg to the stored position and secure with the pins. The seat can now be folded against

the rear of the cockpit. Secure the seats to the rear of the cockpit with the straps that snap to the seats.

The straps prevent the seats from damaging the gelcoat in rough seas or when trailering while they

are in the stored position.

The jump seats can be removed from the cockpit by removing the quick release pins on the hinges

at the rear of each seat.
