7.2 Cockpit
Swim Platform
Your Pursuit boat is equipped with port and
starboard aft integrated boarding platforms.
Inspection deck plates are located in the
splashwell to provide access to the stern
bilge and engine mounting bolts. A deck
plate on the port side splashwell wing pro-
vides access to the ball valve for the port
cockpit scupper. A deck plate on the star-
board side splashwell wing provides access
to the ball valve for the starboard cockpit
scupper. Make sure these deck plates are
secure before operating your boat.
A foldaway boarding ladder is located in the
port side swim platform. DO NOT use swim
platform or ladder while the engine is run-
ning. The engines must be “OFF” before
allowing anyone to enter or exit the boat or
when they are in the water. Stow ladder
before starting an engine.
Transom Door
Do not use the transom door when the boat
is in motion. DO NOT leave the transom
door unlatched. Latch it in the full “CLOSED”
position.
Port and Aft Foldout Bench Seats
The aft and port side bench seats are hinged
and open to provide additional seating
space. To open, grasp both handles and pull
away from the transom or sidewall. The seat
will lock into its horizontal position. To stow,
lift the forward edge with the handles and
push towards the transom.

DANGER
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

the rear of the boat when an engine is
running. A rotating propeller can cut
or entangle swimmers. Both of these
hazards will cause death or serious
injury. DO NOT use the swim/boarding
platform when the engine is running.
