Windshield
Your boat is equipped with a tempered safety
glass windshield. The front and side panels are
also tempered safety glass.
The windshield slides down to provide ventilation
at the helm and/improved visibility. It is lowered
and raised by hydraulic cylinders on each side of
the windshield. The cylinders are activated by
an electric hydraulic pump located in the forward
bilge behind the lower shower access door that is
controlled by the WINDSHIELD UP/DN switches in
the helm switch panels. You should always moni-
tor the travel of the windshield as it is opened or
closed and be ready to release the switch imme-
diately when the windshield reaches the full up or
full down position. Refer to the Ventilation chapter
for instructions on operating the windshield.
The windshield wiper and washer is standard
equipment on your boat. A special lockout mecha-
nism prevents the windshield wiper or washer
from activating unless the windshield is closed.
You should always make sure the windshield is
in the full up position before activating the wind-
shield wiper.
The windshield wiper should only be used when
the windshield is wet. The windshield glass can
be scratched by activating the wiper when there
is dried salt or dirt on the windshield. The wind-
shield washers are supplied by the fresh water
system. Always make sure the fresh water pump
is activated before using the windshield washers.
The windshield/hardtop frame is powder coated
aluminum. Powder coated aluminum is very
durable and provides excellent resistance to the
corrosive effects of saltwater, however, it must
be maintained properly and certain precautions
must be observed.
The windshield should be washed after each use
with soap and water to keep it clean and reduce
the corrosive effects of the saltwater. Saltwater
allowed to remain on the windshield frame will
eventually begin to attack the aluminum, usually
around fasteners and hardware mounted to the
frame.
Do not drill into or install any hardware to the alu-
minum frame. Poor maintenance or hardware and
snaps mounted to the frame can void the warranty
on the powder coated windshield/hardtop frame.
Refer to the Routine Maintenance chapter for more
information on the care and maintenance of powder
coated aluminum.
