Chapter 9:
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, wear and
damage. Any problems should be corrected immediately.
PURSUIT BOATS ARE NOT EQUIPPED WITH HARDWARE DESIGNED FOR
TOWING PURPOSES. THE MOORING CLEATS ARE NOT TO BE USED FOR
TOWING ANOTHER VESSEL OR HAVING THIS BOAT TOWED.
Anchor/Rope Locker
The anchor 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. The anchor can be
mounted on the deck, on the bow roller, or stored in
the anchor locker. If the anchor is stored in the anchor
locker, it must be properly secured to prevent it from
bouncing in the locker and causing damage to the hull
or anchor locker.
The anchor locker drains overboard through a drain in the bottom of the locker. It is very
important to check the drain frequently to make sure it is clean and free flowing.
THE ANCHOR MUST BE POSITIONED SO IT DOES NOT REST AGAINST THE
HULL SIDES AND BE PROPERLY SECURED AT ALL TIMES WHEN IT IS
STORED IN THE ANCHOR LOCKER. A LOOSE ANCHOR IN THE ANCHOR
LOCKER WILL BOUNCE AND CAN DAMAGE THE BOAT. DAMAGE RESULT-
ING FROM THE ANCHOR BOUNCING IN THE ANCHOR LOCKER IS NOT
