Fresh and Raw Water Washdowns
Connections for the fresh water and raw
water washdowns are located in the port aft
corner of the cockpit. To use either washdown
connection, the respective breaker must be
turned ON on the DC Main Distribution Panel
and at the helm. The fresh water washdown
uses water from your boat’s fresh water tank.
The raw water washdown draws water from a
thru-hull installed in the hull bottom. Refer to
section 5, Plumbing Systems, for more infor-
mation.
Port and Starboard Fishboxes
The fishboxes located in the cockpit floor are
drained by macerator pumps housed in the
mechanical space. Pump out and clean the
fishboxes after each use. To operate the mac -
erators, use the PORT FISHBOX and STBD
FISHBOX switches on the aft cockpit switch
panels.
Downriggers (Dealer Installed)
Downriggers must be installed only
on the
deck area aft of the gunwale boards
.
DO NOT install or insert downriggers in the
rod holders mounted in the gunwale boards;
damage can occur.
Side Boarding Door
Your Pursuit is equipped with a port side
boarding door with a stowable boarding lad-
der. The ladder is stored in the aft machinery
space.
DO NOT use the side boarding door 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. To
secure the ladder in place at the door, insert
the two pins on the ladder base into the lad-
der base plate at the door. Slide the ladder aft
to lock it in place. To remove the ladder, slide
it forward and lift it out of the base plate.
Stow the ladder before starting an engine.
The door must be closed and securely
latched before starting an engine. DO NOT
operate the boat with the side boarding door
open. This can result in passengers being
thrown overboard and flooding.
