BOATS

Exterior Equipment

The refrigerator circuit is protected by an in-line
fuse located behind the battery switch panel in the
wet bar storage compartment. Care should be
exercised while operating the refrigerator without
the engine running. It draws a substantial amount
of current and can severely drain the battery
through extended use.

The refrigerator door has a special latch to secure
it while under way. Make sure the refrigerator
and storage compartment doors are closed and
properly secured whenever the boat is moving.

Refer to the refrigerator owner’s manual for ad-
ditional operating and maintenance instructions.

Butane Stove (Optional)

Your boat could be equipped with a portable single
burner butane stove.  Butane fuel for the stove
is usually provided by pressurized 1 lb dispos-
able fuel canisters.  The fuel canisters are sold
separately and were not included with the stove.

To use the stove, place it on the wet bar counter
top and follow the stove manufacturer’s instruc-
tions to activate the burner.  Always make sure
the stove is allowed to cool and that the butane
fuel canister is removed and capped before storing
the stove and fuel canister.  Butane fuel is very

flammable and must be used and stored properly.

Refer to the grill manufacturer’s operating manual
for additional safety and operating instructions
before using the butane grill.

The manual for the stove is included with your
boat. It is extremely important that you read
the manual and become familiar with the proper
care and operation of the stove before attempt-
ing to use it.

WARNING

BUTANE GAS IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE AND CAN CAUSE
A FIRE OR AN EXPLOSION THAT WILL RESULT IN SEVERE
INJURY OR DEATH IF IT IS NOT STORED AND USED PROPERLY.
REMEMBER THAT BUTANE VAPOR IS HEAVIER THAN AIR
AND CAN SETTLE AND ACCUMULATE IN UNVENTILATED
COMPARTMENTS OR IN THE BILGE.

BUTANE FUEL CANISTERS MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROM
THE STOVE AND PROPERLY STORED IN A COCKPIT STORAGE
COMPARTMENT THAT IS ABOVE THE COCKPIT SOLE. THE
COMPARTMENT MUST BE DRY WITH NO ELECTRICAL
COMPONENTS OR SWITCHES ON OR IN THE COMPARTMENT
THAT COULD CAUSE A SPARK. NEVER STORE BUTANE FUEL
CANISTERS IN THE CABIN, HEAD COMPARTMENT, ENGINE
COMPARTMENT, BILGE OR A COMPARTMENT BELOW THE
COCKPIT SOLE.

Helm

The steering, engine controls, engine instruments
and switches for exterior equipment and navigation
lights are located on the helm station. The helm
station is designed to provide good visibility, room
for electronics and a functional control station.

The steering wheel is located on the rear of the
helm console.  The engine shift and throttle control
is on the side of the cockpit, next to the helm.  The
helm switch panels are on each side of the steer-
ing wheel and the engine ignition switch is located
on the helm below the steering wheel.  The circuit
breakers or fuses for the helm activated acces-
sories are located in a panel in the storage locker,
forward of the helm.  Molded-in electronics storage
is located in the center of the helm, forward of the
steering wheel.
