SAFETY EQUIPMENT
11.1 General
Your boat and inboard engines have been equipped with safety equipment designed to enhance
the safe operation of the boat and to meet U.S. Coast Guard safety standards. The Coast Guard
or state, county, and municipal law enforcement agencies require certain additional accessory
safety equipment on each boat. This equipment varies according to length and type of boat and
type of propulsion. The accessory equipment required by the Coast Guard is described in this
chapter. Some local laws require additional equipment. It is important to obtain “Federal
Requirements And Safety Tips for Recreational Boats,” published by the Coast Guard, and
copies of state and local laws, to make sure you have the required equipment for your boating
area. You also should read the book entitled “Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts - Owner's Manual”
included with this manual.
Your Pursuit could be equipped with engine alarms, an optional automatic fire extinguishing
system and cabin monitoring equipment. These systems are designed to increase your boating
safety by alerting you to potentially serious problems in the primary power systems, the engine
compartment, and the cabin. Alarm systems are not intended to lessen or replace good
maintenance and precruise procedures.
This chapter also describes safety related equipment that could be installed on your boat. This
equipment will vary depending on the type of engines and other options installed by you or your
dealer.
11.2 Engine Alarms
The Pursuit 3000 Express is equipped with engine alarms that monitor water temperature and oil
pressure. The alarms are equipped with a buzzer and/or a light located in the helm. The alarm
will sound if the water temperature reaches 205 degrees F. or the oil pressure drops below 6 P.S.I.
The diesel engine installations have fuel filters that are equipped with sensors that will activate
the red light at the helm if excessive water has accumulated in the filters and additional alarms
to monitor transmission pressure. Please refer to the engine owner's manual or contact your
dealer for more information on the engine alarm system installed in your boat.
If the alarms sound:
• Immediately throttle the engines back to idle.
