OPERATION
10.1 General
Before you start the engines on your Pursuit, you should have become familiar with the various component
systems and their operation, and have performed a “Pre-Cruise System Check." A thorough understanding
of the component systems and their operation is essential to the proper operation of the boat. This manual
and the associated manufacturers’ information is provided to enhance your knowledge of your boat. Please
read them carefully. Also read the book titled "Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts - Owner's Manual," included in
your literature packet.
Your boat must have the necessary safety equipment on board and be in compliance with the U.S. Coast Guard,
local and state safety regulations. There should be one Personal Flotation Device (PFD) for each person.
Nonswimmers and small children should wear PFD's at all times. You should know and understand the “Rules
of the Road" and have had an experienced operator brief you on the general operation of your new boat. At
least one other person should be instructed on the proper operation of the boat in case the operator is suddenly
incapacitated.
The operator is responsible for his safety and the safety of his passengers. When boarding or loading the boat,
always step onto the boat, never jump.
ALL PASSENGERS SHOULD BE PROPERLY SEATED WHENEVER THE BOAT IS OPER-
ATED ABOVE IDLE SPEED. YOUR PASSENGERS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SIT
ON THE SEAT BACKS, GUNWALES, BOWS, TRANSOMS OR ON FISHING SEATS WHEN-
EVER THE BOAT IS UNDERWAY.
THE PASSENGERS SHOULD ALSO BE SEATED TO PROPERLY BALANCE THE LOAD AND
MUST NOT OBSTRUCT THE OPERATOR'S VIEW, PARTICULARLY TO THE FRONT.
OVERLOADING AND IMPROPER DISTRIBUTION OF WEIGHT CAN CAUSE THE BOAT TO
BECOME UNSTABLE AND ARE SIGNIFICANT CAUSES OF ACCIDENTS. KNOW THE
WEIGHT CAPACITY AND HORSEPOWER RATING OF YOUR BOAT. DO NOT OVERLOAD
OR OVERPOWER YOUR BOAT.
Remember, it is the operator's responsibility to use good common sense and sound judgment in loading
and operating the boat.
