M - 9 BOW PLATFORM
NOTICE
Always secure the ladder before boating.
Damage to the ladder may otherwise result.
The V355 models are designed with an integrated
bow platform. This bow platform provides a functional
base for anchoring. The anchor is stored in the anchor
chute of the platform. The anchor roller provides
support for the chain/rope and anchor. See Figure
M12. Refer to Chapman’s Piloting, Seamanship and
Small Boat Handling or local anchorage authority for
anchor type and size recommendation.
M - 7 TRANSOM SYSTEMS LOCKER
The transom systems locker contains the aft shower,
aft shower mixer, dockside power inlet, AC main
circuit breaker switches, air conditioner power inlet, air
conditioner circuit breaker switches, phone/cable TV
inlet and the city water inlet. The storage locker uses a
flush-mounted latch for easy access. To open, lift the
handle. A gas-assist lift holds the locker door open for
convenience. The locker door is designed to be closed
after connecting to shore power and city water. See
Figure M10.
To prevent a possible man overboard situation,
NEVER stand on, or try to utilize the bow
platform in any way while the boat is under-
way.

M - 8 TRANSOM STORAGE LOCKER
The transom storage provides storage for such things
as dock fenders, personal flotation devices, dockside
power cord(s) etc. The storage lockers use latches for
easy access. To open, lift the handle. The latches are
flush mounted to prevent injury or accidental opening.
Gas-assist lifts hold the locker door open for ease of
use. See Figure M11.
M - 10 WINDLASS
An optional windlass is an electrically controlled winch
mechanism for retrieving the anchor available on the
V355 model. The mechanical winch portion is mount-
ed inside the anchor locker, at the bow. See Figure
M13. The windlass can be controlled by a set of foot
pads (electrical switches) mounted on the foredeck or
it can be operated from the helm. A circuit breaker on
the battery switch is provided to protect the windlass
from a possible overload situation. A circuit breaker at
the 12VDC helm breaker panel is also provided to
protect the windlass circuit. Refer to the manu-
facturer’s literature included in the owner’s packet for
windlass operation.
