Your 1st pic is the anchor locker. It's setup for a danforth style anchor. Your 2nd & 3rd pics of the glove box area are similar to my H180 Horizon. My "glove box" can double as a drink cooler. Fill it with ice, store your drinks for later, then drain out the water. There should have been a small plug for the drain fitting in the lower left corner of your pic. Since I don't have the same model of boat as you, I can't offer up any suggestions for your switches or the depth sounder issue, though. |

Google Faria depth sounder - manual is available online and you can adjust the settings. For the mold, use "Concrobium Mold Control" spray available at Lowe's, to treat and kill the mold before cleaning. If you look under the dash at those accessory switches, there is a very good chance they are unused. It's a stock panel used for many different boats/options, so you probably have empty switches to use for accessories you may add. Hope this helps! |

As stated before...that bow storage tabs are to hold anchor in place so you obviously need one. I use simple green to clean out the dash cooler and storage compartments in bow...I'm sure the ski locker looks same if they didnt clean those areas. I only use that dash cooler for dry storage of wallets, cells and keys etc. Otherwise you are dropping everything in ice when you remove the shelf...not really a splendid use item for a cooler IMO. Your sending unit on depth finder should be in bilge beneath engine so dont worry about resetting for keel reading...its inches difference if that's where yours is mounted...mine is. Also, I deleted the deep water alarm for reasons you stated. 2 lakes i go to are over 100 feet. For my use....I set shallow alarm at 6 feet....gives me more time to react plus if I'm towing for watersports i shut it down if i hit that shallow...if not on plane my boat and yours will spank the drive at close to 3....I want more warning. I have 2 accessory switches also...one operates the captains call exhaust thru hull exhaust so I have one switch that is a spare. If you dont have that option then you likely have 2 open switches unless you have another option that I may not have. Routine cleaning tips....I wipe out the wet storage areas with towel and wipe down the deck. Then I leave that cooler door propped open along with ski locker to let vent dry before putting cover on boat. I always spray vinyl and wipe down with 3m marine vinyl cleaner which I get at Academy. It cleans them nicely and keeps vinyl lubed so dont get stains from kids bathing suits. If I use anchor in also pull that line out and let it dry before covering boat. Oh yeah...do not leave the bimini canvass top rolled up if it is wet...for some reason the mold it grows is white and is a sumbeach to clean....I've seen it up close |

If you trailer and cover for storage...just remember that any lines, jackets or other wet equipment will create a mess if buttoned up wet. Mine has a small cooler under rear lounge seat, which is useless also. The built in coolers...at least on my model which is very similar...are useless as coolers. I carry a bigger one that doubles as a foot rest for the lounge setters. I use the dash storage for dry snacks along with keys etc as stated before. I use the rear lounge under seat cooler for ski tow ropes. If your lounge seat at stern is like mine you will likely never extend it...not user friendly to access port and starboard sides under seats. That's where I put garbage bag as there's enough reach thru from middle lift able seat to access the garbage bag. get a good tow mirror if you dont have one and plan on towing. I got a large one that screws to top of window frame...very handy and adjustable and easy to remove/place. Other easy clean tip is to use the disposable stainless steel polish wipes on the stainless stuff. I get mine at grocery store and keep a canister in boat along with vinyl cleaner....if handy it saves multiple climbs in and out of boat. |
