radar antennas, navigation lights and the
horn. It could also be equipped with optional
outriggers and/or rod holders.
CAUTION
!
Care should be exercised to prevent
damage to powder coated surfaces.
If the surface is scratched, chipped
or worn exposing the aluminum, it
should be resealed to prevent cor-
rosion from forming. If corrosion is
allowed to form, it could cause the
powder coating to bubble and lift
away. Contact your dealer for repair
service.
The hardtop is not designed to support the
additional weight of items like an instrument
locker or a life raft. Radar and electron-
ics antennas must be mounted to the top
between the windshield and rear legs. Do
not mount any antennas or equipment to the
brow area. The hardtop frame is not designed
to support the weight of accessories in this
area and can be damaged.
The hardtop warranty will be voided if the top
is modified in any way or heavy accessories
are mounted to the top. Also, if items like
radar antennas, spotlights and other acces-
sories are mounted in the wrong location,
the warranty can be voided. If you intend to
add equipment or make modifications to the
hardtop, contact Pursuit Customer Relations
to make sure the equipment you would like to
add or the intended modification will not void
the warranty on the top.
Hardtop Canvas
Because the aluminum frames vary slightly,
the side curtains and drop curtain are custom
made to each boat at the factory. Slide the
side curtains into the slide tracks installed on
the underside of the hardtop.
Snap the side curtains to the hardtop legs.
The side curtains will have to be stretched
slightly to pull out the wrinkles and reach the
snaps.
If you have an optional drop curtain, slide it
into the slide track on the back of the hardtop
and attach it to the rear of the side curtains.
Snap the drop curtain to the deck and cock -
pit.
Cold weather can make the clear vinyl mate-
rial on the curtains stiff and difficult to stretch
to the snaps. This can be particularly difficult
with new canvas that has been stored off the
boat. Lay the curtains in the sun for 30 min-
utes during the heat of the day to make instal-
lation easier in cold weather.
There is a hole drilled in one of the leg bases
to prevent water from being trapped within
the leg and provide wire routing for accesso-
ries. A smaller hole is drilled in the tubing at
the base of the other legs is to allow water to
drain only. Keep the hardtop leg drains clean,
especially before winter lay-up.
7.6 Tower (Dealer Installed)
Your boat could be equipped with a dealer
installed aluminum tower. Towers are nor-
mally equipped with full engine controls,
compass, engine alarms, restart buttons and
tachometers. This allows for complete oper-
ation of the boat from the tower.
NOTICE
!
To prevent gelcoat, gunwales or deck
damage, supporting extensions to the
stringers may be required. Damage
resulting from installation of a tower
is not covered by the Pursuit Limited
Warranty. Also, equipping a boat with
a tower may require lower pitched
propellers to compensate for the wind
resistance and weight of the tower.
