11.4 Cockpit Features
General
Most hatches and doors in the cockpit are secured
with special cam action, draw or automatic “push
to close” latches. Gas charged springs are used
on most hatches that help raise the hatches and
hold them in the open position.
Some large hatches in the cockpit sole are secured
with special flush mounted, twist lock latches with
handles that store flush in the latch in the latched
position. Always make sure that all hatches are
closed with the latches in the secured position
before operating the boat above idle speed.
Round access plates located in the sides of the
cockpit liner provide access to the fill hoses and
fittings. Other access plates in the cockpit sole
provide accesses to fuel supply lines, fuel gauge
sender and the fuel fill and vent hose connections
on the fuel tank.
WARNING
IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS, OPEN EXTERIOR DOORS AND
HATCHES THAT ARE NOT SECURED PROPERLY CAN
SLAM CLOSED UNEXPECTEDLY AND CAUSE INJURY TO
PASSENGERS OR DAMAGE TO THE BOAT. SOME DOORS
AND HATCHES ARE EQUIPPED WITH SPECIAL FASTENERS,
HATCH LIFTERS, MAGNETIC LATCHES OR SNAPS AND
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.
Stern Seats and Cooler
Your boat is equipped with two folding stern seats
and a cooler in the rear of the cockpit. The seat
backrests are designed to fold flush with the rear
deck, converting the seats to a casting platform
when they are not in use. Each backrest is secured
in the folded position by a flush mounted latch.
A special cam action hinge holds the backrest in
the seat position.
To use the seats, release the latch and rotate the
backrest to the seat position. To convert the seats
to a casting platform, fold each backrest forward
until lays flat on the seat cushion. Press down
on the backrest firmly to secure it in the folded
position with the latch.
A cooler is built into the seat base between the
stern seats. It drains overboard through a fitting in
the transom. A twist lock latch secures the cooler

hatch in the closed position. Always make sure
the hatch is closed and properly latched before
operating the boat above slow speed.
The cooler hatch and seat backrest cushions must
be closed before tilting the engines beyond trim
range for shallow water operation or to the traile-
ring position. If the hatch or seat backrests are
open when the engines are tilted, the cowlings will
hit the hatch or backrests causing damage to the
engine cowlings and boat. Always make sure the
hatch is closed and the seat backrests are folded
down and latched before tilting the engines. We
recommend that the stern seat backrest cushions
always be folded down and latched whenever the
seats are not being used.
