    496 Questions

    I'm looking at some pictures and have a few questions.

    * I don't see any of the following in pictures - cup holders, tool holder, bump board and holder. Are they there?
    * Are compartments lighted as standard?
    * Website says there is pork chunk area on front deck. I don't see anything in pics.
    * What is the small square access panel on back deck between seats (where most livewells are)?

    Thanks

    There are aftermarket cupholders at both consoles, the bump board was an option that mounted under a rod locker lid. The rod lockers are lighted through the courtesy light switch. I plan on putting in automatic LEDS in mine someday. The pork tray on the the 396,496 and 596 is useless - under the trolling motor. The back access panel is for the fuel sending unit and pro air (if equipped). I added a pretty cool tool holder that i made/sell in the front access panel. I will try to post a pic

    Hope this helps!

    Nothing a hole saw won’t fix on the cup holders

    when I bought mine it came with the bump board, and lights in the front boxes and livewells.
