Windlass (Optional)
Mounted to the deck near the rear of the pul-
pit, above the rope locker, is the windlass.
The anchor is stored on the pulpit and is
raised and lowered by the windlass. The
anchor line is stored in the rope locker and
routed through the windlass to the anchor
chain.
The anchor is lowered by releasing the
anchor from the cleat or chain binder on the
pulpit and activating the “Deploy” switch at
the helm. After the anchor is set, the wind-
lass must not be left to take the entire force
from the anchor line. Secure the line to the
anchor line cleat to relieve the load on the
windlass.
Anchor Line Secured to Cleat
Haul in the anchor by releasing the line from
the bow cleat and activating the “Retrieve”
switch at the helm. Once retrieving the
anchor, independently secure the anchor to
the chain binder or a cleat to prevent it from
accidental release. This is especially impor-
tant while the boat is under way.
Boats at anchor in a high swell will snub on
the anchor line. This can cause slippage or
apply excessive loads to the windlass.
Do not use the windlass as a winch to move
the boat over the anchor. Move the boat
under its own power to the anchor and break
the anchor loose.
Refer to the windlass owner's manual for
use of the windlass and its remote control.
Windshield
Your Pursuit is equipped with a vented
heavy-duty aluminum windshield. The front
and side wing panels are tempered safety
glass. The curved glass panels on the port
and starboard side of the windshield are
made of tinted acrylic plastic. Refer to the
Ventilation chapter for further information.
!
CAUTION
Position the anchor so it does not rest
against the hull sides and properly
secure it at all times when stored in
the anchor locker. A loose anchor in
the anchor locker will bounce and can
damage the boat. Damage resulting
from the anchor bouncing in the
anchor locker isn’t covered by the
Pursuit warranty.
!
CAUTION
Do not use a windlass as a sole
means of securing an anchor in the
bow pulpit. Always secure the anchor
line to a cleat or chain binder before
operating your boat.
!
WARNING
Use the windlass with care. It is
extremely important that you read the
owner’s manual and become familiar
with the safety instructions and
proper operation of the windlass
before using it with your boat. Always
ensure that limbs, fingers, hair and
clothing stay clear of the windlass and
anchor line during operation.
