OS 385
Windshield
Your Pursuit boat is equipped with a one-
piece vented fiberglass windshield with
tinted glass. The glazing can be replaced,
similar to replacing automotive windshields.
The windshield is equipped with a center
opening vent panel.
Refer to Windshield Ventilation in the Venti-
lation System section and 12-Volt DC Pan-
els in the Electrical System section.
Downriggers (Dealer Installed)
Receptacles located in the aft corners of the
cockpit are provided for downriggers.
Downriggers must be installed on the deck
area aft of the gunwale board. Your boat is
reinforced in this area for the installation of
downriggers. DO NOT install or insert down-
riggers in the rod holders mounted in the
gunwale boards; damage can occur.
7.2 Cockpit
Swim Platform
Your Pursuit boat is equipped with an inte-
gral swim platform. A foldaway boarding lad-
der is located under the hatch on the swim
platform.
DO NOT use swim platform or ladder 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 behind a
small door on the swim platform. It is sup-
plied 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 macerator 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.
Helm Seat
The helm seat is a swivel pedestal seat and
can be adjusted fore and aft. A friction knob,
located on the side of the seat adjusts the
tension of the seat base on the pedestal.
Adjust it to eliminate play between the seat
!
DANGER
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
AND/OR ROTATING PARTS HAZARD
Poisonous CO gases are present at
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.
!
WARNING
UNSAFE BOAT HAZARD
Failure to close and secure transom
door/gate while underway can expose
passengers to rotating propellers,
throw them overboard or swamp the
boat which can cause death or seri-
ous injury. Close and secure door/
gate before getting underway.
!
CAUTION
Inspect transom door/gate fittings
periodically for wear, damage or loose
fit. Repair or replace before using your
boat.
