3070 OFFSHORE
THE MOORING CLEATS ON PURSUIT BOATS ARE NOT DESIGNED OR INTEND-
ED TO BE USED FOR TOWING PURPOSES. THESE CLEATS ARE SPECIFICALLY
DESIGNED AS MOORING CLEATS FOR SECURING THE BOAT TO A DOCK, PIER,
ETC. DO NOT USE THESE FITTINGS FOR TOWING OR ATTEMPTING TO FREE
A GROUNDED VESSEL.
WHEN TOWING OPERATIONS ARE UNDERWAY, HAVE EVERYONE ABOARD
BOTH VESSELS STAY CLEAR OF THE TOW LINE AND SURROUNDING AREA. A
TOW LINE THAT SHOULD BREAK WHILE UNDER STRESS CAN BE VERY DAN-
GEROUS, AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
RUNNING AGROUND OR STRIKING AN UNDERWATER OBSTRUCTION CAN RE-
SULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO PASSENGERS AND DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR OR
BOAT. IF YOUR BOAT SHOULD BECOME GROUNDED, DISTRIBUTE PERSONAL
FLOTATION DEVICES AND INSPECT THE BOAT FOR POSSIBLE DAMAGE. THOR-
OUGHLY INSPECT THE BILGE AREA FOR SIGNS OF LEAKAGE. AN EXPERI-
ENCED SERVICE FACILITY SHOULD CHECK YOUR UNDERWATER GEAR AT THE
FIRST OPPORTUNITY. DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE YOUR BOAT IF THE CONDI-
TION OF THE UNDERWATER EQUIPMENT IS QUESTIONABLE.
12.8 Transporting Your Boat
The Pursuit 3070 Offshore is a large boat and should only be trailered by professionals that have
the knowledge and equipment to move large boats without causing damage.
Please contact your dealer or the Pursuit Customer Relations Department if you are planning to
transport your boat and have any questions in regard to the proper equipment and support for the
hull.
BOATS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY TRAILERS THAT DON’T PROPERLY SUPPORT
THE HULL. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE TRAILER BUNKS AND PADS ARE AD-
JUSTED SO THEY ARE NOT PUTTING EXCESSIVE PRESSURE ON THE LIFTING
STRAKES AND ARE PROVIDING ENOUGH SUPPORT FOR THE HULL. HULL DAM-
AGE RESULTING FROM IMPROPER TRAILER SUPPORT IS NOT COVERED BY
THE PURSUIT WARRANTY.
