EXTERIOR EQUIPMENT
9.1 Deck
Rails and Deck Hardware
The rail system and hardware fittings have been selected and installed to perform specific
functions. Fenders or mooring lines should be secured to the cleats and not to rails or stanchions.
Be sure a clear lead exists when running dock lines or anchor lines. A line inadvertently run
around a stanchion or over the rail could cause damage.
Important: All fittings must be periodically inspected for loose fit or wear and damage.
Any problems should be corrected immediately.
PURSUIT BOATS ARE NOT EQUIPPED WITH HARDWARE DESIGNED FOR TOW-
ING PURPOSES. THE MOORING CLEATS ARE NOT TO BE USED FOR TOWING
ANOTHER VESSEL OR HAVING THIS BOAT TOWED.
Bow Pulpit and Roller
The bow pulpit is built into the hull and is equipped with a
roller assembly that allows the anchor to be operated and
stored at the pulpit. The pulpit roller is designed for a Delta
®
plow or a Danforth
®
style anchor. The anchor line is stored
in the rope locker and routed out the rope locker hatch,
through the roller and connected to the anchor chain. A cleat
or chain binder is provided on the deck near the pulpit to
secure the anchor. Always make sure the anchor is properly
secured when it is in the stored position on the pulpit.
Rope Locker
The rope locker is in the bow of the boat and accessed
through a hatch in the deck. The anchor line is always stored
in the locker. Periodically, the anchor line should be re-
moved from the locker to be cleaned, rinsed with freshwater
and allowed to dry in the sun. This will reduce mildew and
increase the useful life of the anchor line.
The anchor locker is drained by a thru hull fitting in the hull side near the bottom of the locker.
It is very important to check the drain frequently to make sure it is clean and free flowing.
