Outboard Stern Seating; Fish & Ski Seating; Stern Drive Fish & Ski Aft Seating - Four winns FREEDOM Owner's Manual

NOTICE
Do not operate the boat with jumpseats in their
upper positions. Loss of cushions may occur
due to cushions being blown overboard.
NOTICE
When traveling at highway speeds, be sure the
jumpseats are secure (locked in their down po-
sitions). Do not tow your boat with the
jumpseats in their sundeck position. Air cur-
rents (created within the interior when traveling)
will lift the cushions up and out of the boat under
certain conditions; especially when semi-trucks
or other large vehicles pass by.
G. Outboard Stern Seating
Standard outboard seating is available on the Free-
dom™/Horizon models. On our outboard models the
jumpseats can not be placed into a sundeck position.
H. Fish & Ski Seating
On Fish & Ski models the twin stern seats convert in
seconds to pedestal fishing chairs. The fishing chair
locations are one in the bow area and one in the stern.
To turn the stern seat into a fishing chair:
1. Place the fishing chair pedestal into the floor mount.
Be sure the latch locks into place.
2. Remove the stern seat by lifting the seat up and
out.
3. Place the stem of the stern seat onto the pedestal.
To turn the fishing chair into a stern seat reverse the
procedure explained in the proceeding steps. To re-
move the pedestal, push on the release button and lift
up.
Failure to lock the fishing chair pedestal in place
could result in injury. Be sure the pedestal is
securely locked into place.
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner's Manual
DO NOT sit on the backrest portion of any cock-
pit seat. The helmsman could lose control of
the boat or passengers could be thrown from
the boat. The seat could also be damaged if
excessive force is applied.
To avoid possibility of occupant being thrown
from boat, NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO OC-
CUPY AN ELEVATED FISHING CHAIR WHEN
THE BOAT IS UNDERWAY AT MORE THAN
TROLLING SPEED.
I. Stern Drive Fish & Ski Aft Seating
On our stern drive Fish & Ski models the twin stern seats
convert to pedestal fishing chairs in the same manner
as the outboard models described earlier. Note: If Fish
& Ski seat is installed and you want to gain access to
the engine compartment, you will want to first remove
the Fish & Ski seat along with the pedestal.
Access to the engine lid may be gained by unsnapping
and removing the sundeck pad. Removal of the center
stern seat cushion is also advisable when accessing
the engine or using the stern fishing chair (less wear &
tear). You can remove the center stern seat cushion by
undoing the snaps. Additionally, when the center stern
cushion is removed, a storage compartment may be
found underneath the now exposed carpeted support
board. Simply remove the carpeted support board for
access by grasping the strap. Note: The carpeted sup-
port board must be installed prior to installing the cen-
ter stern seat cushion. See Figure N9.
