Grab Rails
Three stainless steel grab rails have been installed to provide safe boarding and navigation on the boat. A grab
rail is located next to the port helm seat as you step down into the cabin and two more are installed at the aft jump
seats. Grab rails are also built into the ladder on the half dive platform.
Bow Rail
The bow rail is constructed of stainless steel. The railing, which is through bolted to the gunwale, is provided for
safety. Never use the bow rail to tie off to anything heavier than a bumper/fender. Do not use the bow rail for
anchoring, or to tie off to the dock or another boat. Do not use the bow rail to tow another boat or skier. Never
stand on the bow rail or use it as leverage when pulling up an anchor, a fish or any other objects. Do not use the
bow rail to tie off and/or secure a large catch, etc.
Gunwale Trim / Rubrail
A white rigid vinyl gunwale trim with a stainless steel insert is installed at the juncture of the deck and hull. This
durable trim provides a nice clean look and serves as somewhat of a cushion when you are docking, coming
along side another vessel, etc.
See the Service and Care section of this manual for cleaning recommendations.
Anchor Roller and Rope Locker Storage
An aluminum anchor roller has been installed at the bow. The anchor (not included as standard equipment) can
be held on the line beneath the bow area. This allows you to move about the bow area safely without tripping
over the line or anchor.
Drain Plug
Before launching the boat, always make sure that the drain plug has been installed in the fitting on the transom at
the keel. If your boat is being transported, remove the drain plug once the boat is secured on the trailer so that
any excess water can be drained via the fitting. Never remove the drain plug when the boat is sitting static in the
water.
If you live in an area where it snows and you are storing your boat on a lift during the winter, make sure that you
remove the drain plug. When the snow melts, if the float switch for the bilge pump happens to fail, it could flood
the bilge and damage electrical components in the bilge.
Cockpit / Deck Drains
There are two (2) cockpit/deck drains in the aft area of the cockpit that
allow excess water in the cockpit to drain overboard via thru hulls on
each side of the boat. To ensure that there is no blockage in any of the
hoses connected to the drains, it is recommended that you occasionally
run water through each of the cockpit drains and visually inspect the
thru hulls to verify that water flows freely and that there is no blockage.
To trouble shoot, check the hoses for leaks and make certain that all
hose connections are secure.
Half Dive Platform With Ladder
A half dive platform is installed on the starboard side of the transom and includes a stainless steel dive ladder with
built in grab rails.
Cabin Interior
Cabin V Berth
To prepare the berth for sleeping, place the poly filler board over the porta-potti and set the filler cushion on top of
the poly to finish off the berth.
