Warranty and Warranty
Registration Cards
The PURSUIT Limited Warranty Statement
is included with your boat. It has been writ-
ten to be clearly stated and easily under-
stood. If you have any questions after
reading the warranty, please contact PUR-
SUIT Customer Relations.
PURSUIT, engine manufacturers, and the
suppliers of major components maintain
their own manufacturer's warranty and ser-
vice facilities. It is important that you prop-
erly complete the warranty registration cards
included with your boat and engine(s) and
mail them back to the manufacturers to reg-
ister your ownership. This should be done
within 15 days of the date of purchase and
before the boat is put into service. A form for
recording this information is provided at the
beginning of this manual. This information
will be important for you and service person-
nel to know, if and when you may need ser-
vice or technical information.
The boat warranty registration requires the
H ull I dentification N umber “HIN” which is
located on the starboard side of the transom,
just below the rub rail. The engine warranty
registration requires the engine serial num-
ber(s). Please refer to the engine owner's
manual for the location of the serial num-
ber(s).
Federal Boat Safety Act
All boat manufacturers are required by the
Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971 to notify first
time owners in the event any defect is dis-
covered “which creates a substantial risk of
personal injury to the public.” It is essential
that we have your warranty registration card
complete with your name and mailing
address in our files so that we can comply
with the law if it should become necessary.

PURSUIT is committed to the continuous
improvement of our boats. As a result, some
of the equipment described in this manual or

PURSUIT reserves the right to change

Owner/Operator
Responsibilities
Registration and Documentation
Federal law requires all undocumented ves-
sels equipped with propulsion machinery be
registered in the state of principal use. A cer-
tificate of documentation will be issued upon
registration. These registration numbers
must be displayed on your boat. The owner/
operator of a boat must carry a valid certifi-
cate of registration whenever the boat is in
use. When moved to a new state of principal
use, the certificate is valid for 60 days.
In order to be valid, the numbers must be
installed to the proper specifications. Check
with your dealer or state boating authority for
numbering requirements. The Coast Guard
issues the certificate of number in Alaska; all
others are issued by the state.
