C 280/S 280/C 310/S 310
MOVING PROPELLERS ARE DANGEROUS. THEY CAN CAUSE DEATH, LOSS OF LIMBS OR
OTHER SEVERE INJURY. DO NOT USE THE SWIM PLATFORM OR SWIM LADDER WHILE
THE ENGINE(S) ARE RUNNING. STOP THE ENGINE(S) IF DIVERS OR SWIMMERS ARE AT-
TEMPTING TO BOARD. ALWAYS REMOVE AND PROPERLY STORE THE LADDER BEFORE
STARTING THE ENGINE(S).
IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS, OPEN EXTERIOR DOORS AND HATCHES THAT ARE NOT SE-
CURED PROPERLY CAN SLAM CLOSED UNEXPECTEDLY AND CAUSE INJURY TO PASSEN-
GERS 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.
TRANSOM DOOR
A transom door is incorporated into the rigging station. The transom door 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.
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 CREATING A PO-
TENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION. OPERATING THE BOAT UNDER POWER WITH THE
TRANSOM DOOR/GATE OPEN MAY ALLOW PERSONS TO FALL OVERBOARD AND INTO
BOAT PROPELLERS OR TO BE LOST IN OPEN WATER.
STERN BAIT AND TACKLE RIGGING STATION (C 280 and C 310)
The sink is equipped with a fresh water sprayer and drains overboard. The cooler is insulated and drains
overboard. The tackle locker below the sink provides access to the stern bilge area.
STERN BAIT AND TACKLE RIGGING STATION (S 310)
The sink is equipped with a fresh water sprayer and drains overboard. The cooler is insulated and drains
overboard. When the optional livewell is selected, the cooler is replaced with the livewell. The tackle locker
below the sink provides access to the stern bilge area.
BELOW DECK FISHBOX
The fishboxes located in the cockpit are drained by a macerator pump in the bilge. The fishboxes should be
pumped out and cleaned after each use. Refer to the Plumbing Chapter for more information on the fishbox
drainage.
REFRIGERATOR (S 280 and S 310)
The leaning post is equipped with a DC refrigerator. Care should be exercised while operating the refrigerator
on 12-volt power without the engines running. It draws a substantial amount of current and can severely drain
a battery through extended use. When at dockside ensure that the battery charger is on. Refer to the
refrigerator owner's manual for additional operating and maintenance instructions. The "Fridge" breaker in
the MDP provides circuit protection for the refrigerator. Refer to the Electrical System chapter.
