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.
Mooring lines should be secured to the cleats. 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.
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 locker has a built-in bracket for a “Danforth
®
” style
anchor. 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 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 they are clean and free flowing.
