216 Engine Box Cover Latching/Lifting/Removal
Two rubber latches (A) hold the top of the engine box to the base.
Pull on the top of these latches and the upper part or the engine
box will release. Lift up on the engine box handle and the gas
shocks will help you lift the engine box. This “clam-shell” design
allows you to check the engine without lifting the entire engine
box. You can leave the top open to dry the bilge.
To remove the engine box cover, open the cover to expose the fore
engine box cover base straps (B) and the aft engine box cover base
anchoring pins (C). Pull the fore straps (B) up and off the securing
pins, pull the aft anchoring pins (C) out and slide the cover back.
When reinstalling the cover, make sure the aft anchoring pins and
fore straps are secured in their anchoring position, then close the
cover and secure the rubber latches (A).

An engine guard which is not in place or
contact with any moving parts can cause death or
serious injury. The engine box cover is a machinery
guard. DO NOT operate your boat without the cover
closed and in place unless you are performing a check
or maintenance. Keep your hands, clothing, hair and
any other body parts away from any moving parts.
