CHAPTER 10
10.6 STIDD SEAT POSITIONS
The two piloting seats are designed to swivel around and be lowered for a more sociable
setting in the pilothouse. Be careful to slide the seats fully forward prior to swiveling so the
seat is not jammed into the pilothouse sidewalls.
Optional “Wide” Stidd Seats are available that function in the same manner.
10.7 WINDSHIELD OPERATION
While the triple windshield design creates individual windows that are smaller than those on
the 34z, some owners have found that a stick with a rubber can tip is a handy way to push
the windows out and assist in lowering them, without having to stretch over the console.
We have investigated various electric options but have been unable to find any system that
wasn’t ungainly, unsightly, tight, /or unable to fully raise the windows for the open “flybridge”
feel for good ventilation or perfect visibility at night or in fog.
Night or Fog If you haven’t discovered it already, it is possible to open the starboard
window for unobstructed visibility and still travel at 14-15 knots without being blasted by the
wind. Simply move slightly toward the centerline of the boat rather than directly behind the
wheel to get out of the wind flow.
