Does anyone know what the strap on the port side just in front of the windshield on the 175 sport is for?

Capt_Craig · ‎08-15-2020

If it's for holding the windshield open, I've yet to see a picture where it is being used.

Welcome to the forum.

Why not post an image showing the parts / setup?

Thanks

Thanks for the image.

Could that be used to retain the Bimini hoops if folded forward?

Capt_Craig · ‎08-16-2020

I'll have to try that. I didn't think the bimini could be folded forward but I hope that is the case, it would be very convenient.

The snap strap secures the open windshield. If a crosswind should catch it at an angle it could snap back like a rat trap. Searay recommends that the wind shield be closed whenever underway.

thanks. Couldn't find it in the manual

Here is that strap being used to retain the open window.

Thanks. I’m now looking for the difference between the 175 SP and 175 SPC?
