Get to Know Your Sea Fox 368 Commander
Right now, our 368 Commander is the biggest center console Sea Fox in our lineup. It’s an excellent choice for offshore fishing adventures and quality family time on the water. Plus, it comes loaded with top-notch amenities to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable boating experience.
Every 368 Commander comes standard with a Helm Master EX joystick docking system equipped with autopilot. This feature simplifies the docking process, allowing for smooth maneuvering and effortless control. The joystick enhances navigation with features like "set point" and "fish point," which allow you to stay stationary without an anchor, as well as five thrust settings for various currents and winds. It also enables easy course corrections with a simple twist or bump while in "course hold," "heading hold," or during autopilot navigation. No matter if you’re returning to the marina, navigating the harbor, or fishing offshore, the Helm Master EX system enhances safety and convenience for all your boating needs.
Another feature Sea Fox provides to simplify your docking are Phender Pros. Phender Pros come standard on the 368 and come as an option on most other Sea Fox models. They are designed to simplify docking by allowing you to easily clip fenders into place instead of tying them to cleats. This straightforward method saves time and effort, ensuring you can quickly adjust fenders for optimal protection of your boat. It provides a secure attachment without the need for knots, making docking safer and more convenient. Phender Pros are a practical choice for boaters looking to streamline their docking process and ensure their vessel is properly secured at all times.
Every Sea Fox boat features an aquarium livewell designed to maintain bait in optimal condition throughout a day of fishing. These livewells circulate oxygenated water to keep bait lively and attractive to target fish, thereby increasing the likelihood of successful catches. Additionally, they provide a safe and secure environment for storing caught bait. This not only enhances the fishing experience but also supports conservation efforts by minimizing the impact on fish populations. Livewells are essential tools for anglers, ensuring both the enjoyment of fishing and the sustainability of marine ecosystems.
Every Sea Fox boat includes a built-in safety storage box within its hardtop, strategically positioned for quick access during emergencies and Coast Guard inspections. The box is equipped with user-friendly latches, making it effortless to open and close, ensuring secure storage and swift retrieval of essential safety equipment like flares, registrations, fire extinguishers, whistles, and more. This feature simplifies compliance with Coast Guard regulations and ensures you have the right safety tools readily available, providing peace of mind whether you're a novice or experienced boater.
D-tubing glass enclosures on Sea Fox boats are protective structures featuring strong, curved (D-shaped) tubes and tempered glass panels. These enclosures are designed to shield passengers from wind, rain, and spray while maintaining clear visibility of the water surroundings. They provide a comfortable and sheltered area onboard, enhancing the boating experience by offering protection from the elements without obstructing the view. Sea Fox integrates these durable and functional enclosures to ensure passengers can enjoy their time on the water in comfort and safety, regardless of weather conditions.
To operate the diesel generator on the 368 Commander, start by turning on the battery switch and confirming it shows a green indicator. Before you start the generator, ensure both the “shore power” and “generator” main breakers or in the “off” position. Once the generator starts, then turn “on'' the main generator breaker. Ensure the Seacock is open to allow raw water to cool the generator via the strainer. At the generator's base, adjust switches for the refrigerator, air conditioner, battery charger, and engine battery charger as needed. When returning to dock, switch off the panel and battery to conserve power, and connect to shore power using the 30 amp hookup. Before shutting down the generator, ensure the “generator” main breaker is in the “off” position. Following these steps ensures efficient operation and maintenance of your generator onboard.
To use a shore power generator on a Sea Fox, start by positioning your boat within reach of the shore power outlet to avoid stretching the shore power cord. Before connecting, ensure all electrical appliances and devices onboard are powered off to prevent any electrical issues. Next, connect the shore power cord by plugging one end into the generator's outlet and the other end into the shore power outlet on the dock or campsite. Double-check both connections to ensure they are securely plugged in and free of any loose fittings. This process guarantees a stable and safe power supply for your Sea Fox.
Each Sea Fox 368 Commander is equipped with a reverso flushing system as standard. This feature is invaluable for extended periods on the water, allowing you to effortlessly flush all three motors at once with freshwater upon returning to the dock. Simply connect the fitting to a freshwater hose, press the outboard flushing system button, and the system efficiently flushes all three motors at the same time. This routine maintenance step is crucial for preserving the longevity and performance of your motors in saltwater conditions.
The 368 Commander is equipped with a refrigerator and freezer, ensuring your beverages stay cold and your bait remains frozen whether you’re at the dock or offshore. This convenient setup can operate on either a 12V DC (house battery system) or a 30 amp 110A AC (shore power or generator system) , providing flexibility and simplicity for all your cooling needs during your time on the water.
The 368 Commander is loaded with great features that make it perfect for a fantastic day offshore fishing or having quality time with your family on the water. Sea Fox combined luxury and functionality to elevate this boat to the top of its class.
