Engine Access
Access to the engines is provided by a day hatch, located between
the helm and the passenger seat or by raising the bridge deck above
the engine room. The bridge deck is raised by electric hatch lifters
activated by a switch in the cockpit under the gunnel. The aft end
of the bridge deck is lifted and lowered by the electric actuators.
The weight of water in the livewell puts additional strain on the
hinges and the hatch lifters. You should never lift the bridge deck
with the livewell full.
A FULL LIVEWELL DRAMATICALLY INCREASES THE WEIGHT OF THE BRIDGE DECK
AND WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE BRIDGE DECK OR THE HATCH LIFTER WHEN
LIFTING THE BRIDGE DECK. DAMAGE TO THE BRIDGE DECK OR HATCH LIFTER
COULD CAUSE THE BRIDGE DECK TO DROP CAUSING SEVERE INJURY TO SOMEONE
IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. ALWAYS EMPTY THE LIVEWELL BEFORE LIFTING
THE BRIDGE DECK AND ENTERING THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.
Cockpit Storage and Livewell
The L-shaped lounge passenger seat is mounted on a large storage box. A circulating livewell is located behind
the lounge seat. The insulated livewell is supplied by a raw water circulating pump and drains overboard when
the livewell system is installed. Refer to the Raw Water System chapter for additional information on the
livewell system.
Tackle Lockers and Prep /Entertainment Center
The prep/entertainment center is equipped with a sink, cutting board, tackle locker or optional ice maker, aft
facing seat and storage area. The sink is plumbed to the fresh water system and is drained by gravity to a thru-
hull fitting in the hull side above the waterline.
A large tackle locker is built into the helm seat base. The tackle locker is lockable and has four storage drawers.
Ice Maker (Optional)
An ice maker is supplied as optional equipment and is mounted in the prep/entertainment center. The ice maker
operates on AC power only. Water is supplied to the ice maker from the fresh water tank or the optional
dockside connection. The ice maker door has a special latch to secure the door while under way; make sure
the door is properly secured whenever the boat is moving. Refer to the ice maker owner’s manual for
additional operating and maintenance instructions.
Transom Door and Gate
A transom door and gate are incorporated into the transom. The gate is secured by a latch on the underside,
and the door is secured by a special latch mounted on the inboard side of the door. The transom door and gate
should only be opened when the boat is not in motion. The door must be latched in either the full “OPEN”
or full “CLOSED” position. Never leave the transom door unlatched.
