helm. Make sure to monitor the water level in the fishbox and
turn the pump off as soon as pumping is complete. The pump
will be damaged if it is allowed to run dry for more than a few
seconds. The fishbox should be pumped out and cleaned after
each use. Refer to the Drainage Systems chapter for more
information on the fishbox drainage.
Transom Fishbox
Another insulated fishbox is located in the center of the transom
gunnel. The fishbox is drained by gravity to an overboard thru-
hull fitting in the transom. It is accessed through two hatches
in the stern gunnel.
Cabin Door
The cabin door is made of Fiberglass. A lockable latch secures
the door and hatch in the closed position. A special latch se-
cures the door in the open position.
It is very important that the cabin door is secured properly in
the open or closed position. The door is heavy and if the door
is not properly latched, it could swing when the boat rocks and
pinch someone’s fingers between the door and the bulkhead or
damage the door. Always make sure the door is properly latched
in the open or closed position before operating the boat.

9.4 Flybridge and Helm
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 located in the center of the
flybridge to provide improved visibility, more room for elec-
tronics and a more functional flybridge arrangement.
The steering helm and engine controls are located on the rear of
the center console. The helm switch panel is on the starboard
side of the helm and the engine run/stop switches, the engine
start switches and trim tab switches are located on a separate
panel below the steering wheel.
The Molded-in, retractable electronics storage is located
forward of the engine controls. Electric actuators controlled
by a switch in the helm raise or lower the modules. Access
to service the controls or to install or service electronics is
provided through a door in the helm.
Standard Helm Seats
The helm seats are pedestal seats that swivel and adjust fore and
aft. The seat height on the pedestal is also adjustable.
There are two levers and one tension knob on the seat base.
Lifting the lever located at the front of the seat base allows the
seat to be adjusted fore and aft. Releasing the lever locks the
seat in that position. Lifting the lever on the starboard side of
the seat base releases the pivot lock and allows the helm seat to
be swiveled on the pedestal. The helm seat will automatically
lock when it is swiveled back to the operating position. The
friction knob adjusts the tension of seat base on the pedestal
and is also located on the port side of the seat. It should be
adjusted to allow the seat to be swiveled when the swivel lock
is released and tight enough to eliminate play between the seat
base and the pedestal.
The pedestal height can be changed by pulling the spring loaded
release pin on the pedestal and sliding it up or down to the next
preset position. Release the pin as the pedestal is sliding and
the pin will automatically lock into place.
Teak Helm Chair (Optional)
The helm seat is a pedestal seat that swivels and adjusts fore
and aft. The height of the footrest on the pedestal is also
adjustable.
There is one tension adjuster and a spring loaded lever on the
seat base. Lifting the lever located at the front of the seat base
allows the seat to be adjusted fore and aft. Releasing the lever
locks the seat in that position. Loosening the tension adjuster
on the starboard side of the seat base allows the helm seat to
be swiveled on the pedestal. The tension can be adjusted to
lock the seat in the desired position or control how easily the
seat will swivel. It should always be adjusted tight enough to
eliminate play between the seat base and the pedestal.
The pedestal footrest height can be changed by loosening the
tension adjuster on the port side of the footrest and sliding it
up or down to the desired position. It is important to make
sure the footrest is set parallel to the tension adjuster handle
before adjusting the tension and that the handle is rotated down
before swiveling the footrest. Otherwise, the handle will hit
the footrest when it is rotated and damage the finish.
