7.2 Cockpit
Swim Platform
Your Pursuit boat is equipped with port and
starboard aft integrated boarding platforms.
A foldaway boarding ladder is located in the
aft starboard corner of the boarding platform.
DO NOT use the boarding platforms or lad-
der while an engine is running. 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.
Cockpit Shower
A fresh water shower is located in the star-
board side of the cockpit. It is supplied with
hot and cold water by the fresh water system
and works much like the shower in the head.
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 “OPEN” or
full “CLOSED” position.
Below Deck Fishbox
The fishboxes located in the cockpit are
drained by a diaphragm pump located in the
bilge. Pump out and clean the fishboxes
after each use. Refer to Drainage Systems
for more information on the fishbox drain-
age.
Aft Foldout Bench Seats
The aft bench seat is hinged and opens to
provide additional seating space. To open,
grasp both handles and pull away from the
transom. The seat will lock into its horizontal
position. To stow, lift the forward edge with
the handles and push towards the transom.

the rear of the boat when an engine is
running. A rotating propeller can cut

hazards will cause death or serious
injury. DO NOT use the swim/boarding
platform when the engine is running.

cally for wear, damage or loose fit.
