Windlass (Optional)
The optional windlass is mounted to the deck near the rear of the pulpit above the rope locker.
The anchor is stored on the pulpit and is raised and lowered by the windlass. The anchor line is
stored in the rope locker and routed out through the windlass to the anchor chain.
The anchor is lowered by releasing the anchor from the cleat or chain binder on the pulpit and
operating a “down” control at the helm. After the anchor is set, the windlass must not be left to
take the entire force from the anchor line. Boats lying to their anchor in a high swell or heavy
weather conditions will snub on the line. This can cause slippage or apply excessive loads to the
windlass. The line should be made fast to a bow cleat to relieve the load on the windlass.
The anchor is hauled in by releasing the line from the bow cleat and operating the “up” control
at the helm. Once the anchor is retrieved, independently secure the anchor to the chain binder
or a cleat to prevent it from being accidentally released. This is especially important while the
boat is under way.
The windlass manufacturer provides an owner’s manual with its product. It is extremely
important that you read the manual and become familiar with the proper care and operation of
the windlass.
A WINDLASS MUST BE USED WITH CARE. IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT
YOU READ THE OWNER’S MANUAL AND BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS AND PROPER OPERATION OF THE WINDLASS BEFORE USING IT
WITH YOUR BOAT. ALWAYS ENSURE THAT LIMBS, FINGERS, HAIR AND
CLOTHING ARE KEPT CLEAR OF THE WINDLASS AND ANCHOR LINE DURING
OPERATION.
DO NOT USE A WINDLASS AS A SOLE MEANS OF SECURING AN ANCHOR IN
THE BOW PULPIT. ALWAYS SECURE THE ANCHOR LINE TO A CLEAT OR
CHAIN BINDER BEFORE OPERATING YOUR BOAT.

Swim Platform
Your Pursuit is equipped with an integral swim platform and engine mounting system located
in the stern of the boat. There are two inspection deck plates in the transom engine well to provide
access to the stern bilge and engine mounting bolts. An access panel on the port side of the
platform provides access to the port rear bilge and the port trim tab line. It is sealed with caulk
and secured with screws.
There are also deck plates and a hatch that provide access to the scupper valves and the fuel filters.
Always make sure these plates and hatches are secure before operating your boat.
