AFTER THE ANCHOR IS SET, THE WINDLASS
MUST NOT BE LEFT TO TAKE THE ENTIRE FORCE
FROM THE ANCHOR LINE. THE LINE SHOULD BE
MADE FAST TO THE ANCHOR LINE CLEAT TO RE-
LIEVE THE LOAD ON THE WINDLASS.
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 windlass should not be used as a winch to move the boat over the
anchor. The boat should be moved under its own power to the anchor
and to break the anchor loose.
DO NOT USE A WINDLASS AS A SOLE MEANS OF
SECURING AN ANCHOR IN THE BOW PULPIT. AL-
WAYS SECURE THE ANCHOR LINE TO A CLEAT OR
CHAIN BINDER BEFORE OPERATING YOUR BOAT.
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.
A WINDLASS MUST BE USED WITH CARE. IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU
READ THE OWNER’S MANUAL AND BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE SAFETY INSTRUC-
TIONS 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.

SWIM PLATFORM
Your Pursuit is equipped with an integral swim platform and engine mounting system located in the stern of
the boat. There are inspection deck plates in the splashwell 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. Always make sure these plates are secure before operating your boat. There is also a
hatch on the port side that provides access to the fuel filters. Always make sure these plates and hatches are
secure before operating your boat.
BOARDING LADDER
The boarding ladder is mounted to the rear of the stern bait and tackle rigging station when it is in the stored
position. To use the ladder, remove it from the storage clips and slide the studs into the special bracket on
the port side of the transom. The ladder floats and must be secured in the boarding position by turning the
cam lock on the ladder so it catches the bottom of the transom ladder bracket. The ladder must be removed
from the transom bracket and properly secured to the storage clips before starting the engine(s).
