7.3 Cockpit

IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS, OPEN EXTERIOR DOORS AND HATCHES THAT ARE NOT SE-

CURED PROPERLY CAN SLAM CLOSED UNEXPECTEDLY AND CAUSE INJURY TO PAS-

SENGERS OR DAMAGE TO THE BOAT. MOST DOORS AND HATCHES ARE EQUIPPED

WITH SPECIAL FASTENERS, HATCH LIFTERS, OR SNAPS AND/OR STRAPS, TO SECURE

THEM IN THE OPEN POSITION. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THESE HATCHES AND

DOORS ARE PROPERLY SECURED WHENEVER THEY ARE IN THE OPEN POSITION.

LEANING POST/TACKLE STORAGE

The leaning post is equipped with rod holders and a leaning post cushion.

STERN BAIT RIGGING STATION

The stern bait rigging station is equipped with a transom door, livewell, cutting board and rigging area.

A removable tackle/storage locker is provided under the rigging

station. Access to the aft bilge area is gained by removing the

locker.

To remove the tackle locker, remove ALL drawers, pull out the

two pins that lock the cabinet in place, grasp the upper portion of

the locker and pull the locker out onto the cockpit sole. To install,

reverse the process ensuring that the flange on the locker com-

pletely seats against the mating frame. Reinstall the two locking

pins and drawers.

The livewell is supplied by a raw water circulating pump and

drains overboard. Refer to the Plumbing Systems chapter for

additional information on the livewell.

FOLDING AFT SEAT (Optional)

The seat will lock into place as it is lifted into position. Before using, ensure that both supports are locked.

To store the seat, simultaneously depress the latch on each seat support and fold the seat down. Support the

seat as you release the latches to prevent the seat from falling unexpectedly.

BELOW DECK FISHBOX

A fish box is located in the stern below the cockpit sole. The fish box is drained by a macerator pump located

in the bilge and activated by a momentary switch in the rear of the cockpit near the stern bait and tackle rigging

station. Refer to the Plumbing Systems chapter for more information on the fishbox drainage.
