Helm and Passenger Seats
The helm and passenger seats are equipped with
a flip up bolster to provide more room between
the seat and the helm or dash area. The bolster
converts the seat to a raised seating position and
allows the operator and passenger to select the
standard seating height or a higher position for
better visibility when needed. To convert the seat
to the raised cushion position, lift the front of the
seat cushion to raise the bolster and push it back
above the seat cushion.
The helm and passenger seats are pedestal seats
that swivel and adjust fore and aft. There are two
levers on the seat base. Lifting the lever located
at the port front of the seat base allows the seat to
Passenger and Helm Seats w/ Bolsters Up
be adjusted fore and aft. Releasing the lever locks
the seat in that position. A friction knob below
the slide adjustment lever adjusts the tension of
seat base on the pedestal. It should be adjusted
tight enough to allow the seat to be swiveled when
desired and eliminate play between the seat base
and the pedestal. The friction knob also can be
tightened to secure the seats in position and pre-
vent them from swiveling if desired.
Helm
The steering, engine control, engine instruments
and switches for exterior equipment and naviga-
tion lights are located on the helm station. The
helm station is designed to provide good visibility,
room for electronics and a more functional control
station.
Helm Seat Adjustment Levers
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 just forward of the steering
wheel and the engine ignition switch is located on
the helm below the steering wheel. The circuit
breakers for the helm activated accessories are
located in a panel in the storage locker, forward
of the helm and molded-in electronics storage is
located in the center of the helm, forward of the
steering wheel.
An optional GPS/chart plotter/depth sounder may
be installed in the helm and an electronic depth
sounder with a shallow water alarm is standard.
Electronic Navigational equipment manufacturers
provide detailed instruction manuals with their
products. You should read them carefully and
review the operation of the electronics with your
dealer at the time of delivery.
