Exterior Equipment
7.1 Forward Deck
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.
Rails and Deck Hardware
Rails and deck hardware perform specific
functions. Do not use for securing fenders or
mooring lines, which must be secured to the
cleats. Make sure mooring lines are clear of
rails or stanchions, or damage can result.
Cleats are flush-mounted 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 loosening, wear
or damage. Repair or replace immediately.
Anchor/Rope Locker
The anchor locker at the bow of the boat can
be accessed through the forward deck hatch.
An anchor chute and roller assembly is inte-
grated into the bow stem. The chute and roller
assembly is designed for a Delta
®
plow type
anchor. A chain snubber is provided to secure
the anchor during storage. Use the snubber
to make sure the anchor chain is secured
before getting underway. The anchor locker
is drained by a thru-hull fitting in the hull side
near the bottom of the locker. Check it fre-
quently and keep it clean and free flowing.
The anchor must be securely stowed when
not in use.
CAUTION
!
Secure the 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 the
anchor bouncing in the locker is not
covered by the Pursuit warranty.
Windlass
The windlass is located under the forward
deck hatch in the anchor locker. The anchor
is stored in the chute through the bow and
is raised and lowered by the windlass. The
anchor line is stored below the windlass and
routed out through the windlass to the chain
and anchor. The anchor locker is equipped
with a receptacle for the windlass remote
control.

or death. Stay clear of moving parts.
