3000 EXPRESS
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.
Windshield
The Pursuit 3000 Express is equipped with
a vented heavy duty aluminum windshield
with tinted glass and built in hand rails. The
windshield is equipped with an opening
vent panel on each side of the windshield.
To open the vent, release the locking T-
handle and rotate it outboard until it locks
into place. To prevent damage to the vent
glass, do not leave the T-handle in the un-
locked position. The front and side wing
panels are tempered safety glass. The curved
glass panels on the port and starboard side
of the windshield are made of tinted acrylic
plastic glass.
Acrylic glass scratches easily. Never use a dry cloth or glass cleaning solutions on acrylic. Use
a soft cloth and mild soap and water for routine cleaning. Solvents and products containing
ammonia can permanently damage acrylic. Please refer to the Routine Maintenance chapter for
more information on the proper care and maintenance of acrylic plastic glass.

Swim Platform (Optional)
Your Pursuit could be equipped with an optional swim platform in the stern of the boat. The swim
platform should only be installed by the Pursuit factory at the time of construction or by an
authorized Pursuit dealer. Improper swim platform installation can damage the boat’s transom
or interfere with the transom door.
A boarding ladder is recessed into the swim platform under a special hatch. To use the ladder,
open the hatch in the middle of the swim platform. Then pull the ladder out of the recess and
unfold it to the open position. The ladder must be folded into the recess and the ladder hatch
properly secured before starting the engines.
MOVING PROPELLERS ARE DANGEROUS. THEY CAN CAUSE DEATH, LOSS OF
LIMBS, OR OTHER SEVERE INJURY. DO NOT USE THE SWIM PLATFORM OR
SWIM LADDER WHILE THE ENGINE(S) ARE RUNNING. STOP THE ENGINE(S) IF
DIVERS OR SWIMMERS ARE ATTEMPTING TO BOARD. ALWAYS REMOVE AND
PROPERLY STORE THE LADDER BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE(S).
