Stereos include programming options. With the push of
a button, the stereo will automatically program radio sta-
tions. The strongest signals will be picked up but will not

NOTICE
Most air conditioners utilize surface water as the
cooling medium. Prior to using the air condition-
ing, the boat must be in the water and the sea-
cock to the air conditioning water intake must
be in the open position. The air conditioning
seacock for water intake is in the engine com-
partment. Operating air conditioners without
proper cooling water will cause damage to the
air conditioning system.
Stereo with remote is optional on all Vista models. When
equipped, the remote control is mounted on the dash.
