2270 CENTER CONSOLE
Stern Coolers
Two insulated coolers are located at the rear of the cockpit. They are drained overboard by gravity.
They should be drained and cleaned after each use.
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.
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.
THE TRANSOM DOOR SHOULD BE CLOSED AND PROPERLY LATCHED WHENEVER THE
ENGINE(S) ARE RUNNING. 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 CRE-
ATING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION.
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.
7.4 Center Console
Helm
The helm and engine controls are located on the rear
of the center console. Molded-in electronics storage is
located forward of the engine controls.
The top section of the console is hinged and opens to
provide access to service the helm equipment or to
install electronics. To open the helm portion of the
console, release the clamps on the front of the console.
The front of the console can then be lifted to expose the
underside of the helm. A strap holds the helm in the
open position and prevents it from opening too far.
Always make sure the helm station clamps are prop-
erly secured when the helm is closed.
