Exterior Equipment
7-12
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 hardtop warranty.
Electric Sunshade (Optional)
The S 428 has two livewell located at the
transom. To operate the livewell, place the
plug into the drain in the bottom of the tank.
Open the livewell thru hull fitting ball valve
in the aft machinery space. There are sepa-
rate seacocks and raw water pumps for each
livewell. Turn the LIVEWELL breaker ON
on the DC MDP. Turn the PORT LIVEWELL
and STARBOARD LIVEWELL switches ON
on the aft cockpit port and starboard switch
panels. The livewell will fill with raw water
to the level up the upper overflow drain. To
drain, turn the aft cockpit switches OFF and
remove the plug from the bottom of the tank.
Clean the livewell thoroughly after each use.
NOTICE
!
Failure to stow the sunshade while
underway could result in damage to
the shade and the surrounding area.
Hardtop Canvas (Optional)
If selected as an option, the side curtains and
drop curtain are custom made for the boat
since aluminum frames vary slightly. 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 acces-
sories. A smaller hole is drilled in the tubing
at the base of the other legs to allow water
to drain. Keep the hardtop leg drains clean,
especially before winter lay-up.
