DENALI 28
Chapter 11:
EXTERIOR EQUIPMENT
11.1 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. 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, wear and damage.
Any problems should be corrected immediately.
PURSUIT BOATS ARE NOT EQUIPPED WITH HARDWARE DESIGNED FOR TOWING PUR-
POSES. THE MOORING CLEATS ARE NOT TO BE USED FOR TOWING ANOTHER VES-
SEL OR HAVING THIS BOAT TOWED.
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
can be mounted on the deck, on the bow roller, or stored in the anchor
locker. 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 drains overboard through a drain in the bottom of the
locker. It is very important to check the drain frequently to make sure it
is clean and free flowing.
THE ANCHOR MUST BE POSITIONED SO IT DOES NOT REST AGAINST THE HULL SIDES
AND BE PROPERLY SECURED AT ALL TIMES WHEN IT IS STORED IN THE ANCHOR
LOCKER. A LOOSE ANCHOR IN THE ANCHOR LOCKER WILL BOUNCE AND CAN DAM-
AGE THE BOAT. DAMAGE RESULTING FROM THE ANCHOR BOUNCING IN THE AN-
CHOR LOCKER IS NOT COVERED BY THE DENALI WARRANTY.
