Exterior Equipment
7.1 Deck
Rails and Deck Hardware
Rails and deck hardware perform specific
functions. Do not use for securing fenders or
mooring lines; these must be secured to the
cleats. Make sure mooring lines are clear of
rails or stanchion, or damage can result.
The stern cleats are flush mount and must
be raised prior to use.
DO NOT use cleats or any other hardware
for the purpose of towing or being towed.
Inspect all hardware periodically for loosen-
ing, wear or damage. Repair or replace
immediately.
Bow Pulpit and Roller
The bow pulpit is built into the hull and is
equipped with a roller assembly that allows
the anchor to be operated and stored at the
pulpit. The pulpit roller is designed for a
Delta® plow or a Danforth® type anchor. A
chain snubber is provided on the deck near
the pulpit to secure the anchor. Make sure
the anchor chain is secured before getting
underway.
Anchor/Rope Locker
The anchor locker at the bow of the boat can
be accessed through the deck hatch. The
locker is recessed for a Danforth® type
anchor.
The anchor locker is drained by a thru-hull
fitting in the hull side near the bottom of the
locker. Check it frequently and keep it clean
and free flowing.
Secure anchor chain when trailering or while
underway.
!
CAUTION
Unsecured open exterior doors and/or
hatches can slam closed and cause
injury or damage the boat. Most doors
and hatches are equipped with fasten-
ers, hatch lifters, snaps and/or straps
to secure them open; make sure they
are properly secured while they are
open.
!
CAUTION
Secure anchor when it is stored in its
locker and make sure it does not rest
against the hull sides. If the anchor is
loose, it will bounce and damage the
boat. Damage from anchor bouncing
in the locker is not covered by the
Pursuit warranty.
Anchor Chain Properly Secured for Travel
