Chapter 1: PROPULSION SYSTEM 1.1 General The 2865 Denali is designed to be powered with a single inboard/outboard engine and drive system. Each manufacturer of the various inboard/outboard drive systems provides an owner’s information manual with its product. It is important that you read the manual(s) very carefully and become familiar with the proper care and operation of the engine and drive system.
IDE THAT IS COLORLESS AND ODORLESS. CARBON MONOXIDE IS A DANGEROUS GAS THAT IS POTENTIALLY LETHAL. USE ONLY CLEAN, DRY FUEL OF THE TYPE AND GRADE RECOMMENDED BY THE ENGINE MANUFACTURER. THE USE OF INCORRECT OR CONTAMINATED FUEL CAN CAUSE ENGINE MALFUNCTION AND SERIOUS DAMAGE. 1.2 Drive Systems The inboard engine is mounted in the stern and coupled to a transom mounted outdrive which does all shifting, steering, and propulsion functions.
regarding corrosion protection for the engine or outdrive, please refer to the engine owner’s manual. SOME OUTDRIVES REQUIRE SPECIAL ANODES FOR FRESHWATER AND A DIFFERENT TYPE OF ANODE FOR SALTWATER. PLEASE CONTACT THE ENGINE MANUFACTURER OR YOUR PURSUIT DEALER FOR THE PROPER ANODE TO USE IN YOUR BOATING AREA. DO NOT PAINT THE OUTDRIVE OR ALLOW THE OUTDRIVE TO COME IN CONTACT WITH ANTIFOULING PAINTS DESIGNED FOR BOAT HULLS. MANY OF THESE PAINTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE OUTDRIVE.
Notice: If the boat is used in salt or badly polluted water, engines without freshwater cooling should be flushed after each use. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for the proper engine flushing procedure. Freshwater Cooling Installation of “Freshwater Cooling” provides adequate engine cooling without exposing the internal engine cooling system to the harmful effects of surface water. This system is optional with gasoline stern drive engines and standard with diesel engines.

Residual fuel left on the deck and hull sides can be dangerous, and will yellow the fiberglass or damage the striping. 3.2 G a s o l i n e Engine Fuel System The fuel system on the 2865 Denali has one fuel tank and one manual fuel valve. The fuel valve is located near the fuel withdrawal tube on the fuel tank. The valve is off when the handle is perpendicular to the fuel flow. The fuel valve allows the operator to turn the fuel flow off when servicing the fuel system or changing the fuel filter.
to assure an adequate supply of clean, dry fuel to the engine. It is recommended that the filter be inspected after the first 25 hours of use and then serviced as needed. Follow the engine or filter manufacturer’s instructions for servicing or replacing the fuel filter. Notice: Clean fuel is especially important in fuel injected engines and the engine manufacturer's recommendations for fuel filter maintenance must be followed exactly. 3.
the fuel filter. Check the filters for water before each use and replace the filter cartridge as needed. Follow the filter manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and replacing the filter element. Water is drained from the filters by placing a cup under the filter and draining through the petcock at the bottom of the filter until clean fuel flows. The filter element must be changed at least twice a season or more frequently depending on the quality of the fuel and the hours run.
AFTER THE FILTER ELEMENT HAS BEEN CHANGED, PRIME THE FUEL SYSTEM AND CHECK ALL FITTINGS FOR LEAKS BEFORE AND AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE. GASOLINE VAPORS CAN EXPLODE. BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE, ALWAYS OPEN ALL HATCHES, WINDOWS, AND DOORS. RUN THE BLOWER FOR AT LEAST FIVE (5) MINUTES TO COMPLETELY VENTILATE THE BOAT AFTER FUELING OR SERVICING THE FUEL SYSTEM. 3.4 Fueling Instructions FUEL IS VERY FLAMMABLE.

Chapter 8: VENTILATION SYSTEM 8.1 Cabin Ventilation Ventilation to the cabin area is provided by a deck hatch, port windows and louvers in the cabin doors. Port Windows The port windows are secured by cam action locks. The locks should be adjusted so they are tight enough to seal the windows in the closed position, but not so tight that they break the plastic. The cam locks are adjusted by turning the two allen head bolts located at the base of each cam lock.
8.2 Windshield Ventilation The windshield is equipped with opening panels on each side to provide ventilation. To open the panels, loosen the friction knobs on the windshield adjusters and turn the locks on the vent panels to the unlocked position. Open the panel to the desired position and tighten the friction knobs. The adjusters will hold the windshield panel in that position. Windshield To close the vent panels, loosen the friction knobs on the adjusters and close the vent.
When the boat is operated below cruise speed, there may not be enough air pressure at the vents to provide adequate ventilation in the engine compartment. Therefore, it is extremely important to operate the blowers whenever the boat is not on plane. Always check the blower exhaust vents for airflow when the blowers are operating. If the blowers are running and there is little or no airflow at the exhaust vents, then the system is not operating properly and should be serviced. GASOLINE VAPORS CAN EXPLODE.
Boats underway should close all aft facing hatches and doors. The forward facing deck hatches should be open whenever possible to help pressurize the living spaces of the boat. No sleeping in the cabin should be permitted while underway. Proper ventilation should be maintained on the bridge deck by opening windshield vents as far as possible to help pressurize the cockpit area.
• Periodic inspection and cleaning of the engine compartment ventilation ducts is necessary to ensure adequate air circulation. A build up of leaves, twigs, or other debris can severely reduce ventilation. It is also important to be sure that the bilge water level does not accumulate to a level that could restrict the ventilation ducts. • The bilge blowers are permanently lubricated and require no maintenance. Blower operation can and should be tested by placing a hand over the exhaust vents.

underway. Throwable devices must be immediately available for use. All Pursuit boats must be equipped with at least one Type I, II or III PFD for each person on board, plus one throwable device (Type IV). Visual Distress Signals All Pursuit boats used on coastal waters, the Great Lakes, territorial seas, and those waters connected directly to them, must be equipped with Coast Guard approved visual distress signals. These signals are either Pyrotechnic or Non-Pyrotechnic devices.
The electric distress light is accepted for night use only and must automatically flash the international S.O.S. distress signal. Under Inland Navigation Rules, a high intensity white light flashing at regular intervals from 50-70 times per minute is considered a distress signal. Fire Extinguishers At least one fire extinguisher is required on all Pursuit boats. Coast Guard approved fire extinguishers are hand-portable, either B-I or B-II classification and have a specific marine type mounting bracket.
operations. GASOLINE CAN EXPLODE. IN THE EVENT OF A FUEL COMPARTMENT OR BILGE FIRE, YOU MUST MAKE THE DIFFICULT DECISION TO FIGHT THE FIRE OR ABANDON THE BOAT. YOU MUST CONSIDER YOUR SAFETY, THE SAFETY OF YOUR PASSENGERS, THE INTENSITY OF THE FIRE AND THE POSSIBILITY OF AN EXPLOSION IN YOUR DECISION. 11.6 Automatic Fire Extinguishing System The Denali engine compartment is equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system.
IS ALLOWED TO RUN IN THIS SITUATION, IT WILL CONSUME THE EXTINGUISHING AGENT AND FLASH BACK COULD RESULT. IF THE AUTOMATIC FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM IS INSTALLED IN YOUR BOAT, THE OWNER'S MANUAL PROVIDED BY THE SYSTEM MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE INCLUDED. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU READ THE INFORMATION CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM IN THEORY AND OPERATION BEFORE USING YOUR BOAT.
are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the area or calling for help. Also, young children, elderly persons, and pets may be the first affected. Drug or alcohol use increases the effect of CO exposure. Individuals with cardiac or respiratory conditions are very susceptible to the dangers of carbon monoxide. CO poisoning is especially dangerous during sleep when victims are unaware of any side effects.
SONS ARE ACCOUNTED FOR. DO NOT REENTER THE CABIN UNTIL IT HAS BEEN AIRED OUT AND THE PROBLEM FOUND AND CORRECTED. 11.8 First Aid It is the operator's responsibility to be familiar with the proper first-aid procedures and be able to care for minor injuries or illnesses of your passengers. In an emergency, you could be far from professional medical assistance. We strongly recommend that you be prepared by receiving training in basic first aid and CPR.
Additional Equipment to Consider: VHF Radio Heaving Line Flashlight Sunburn Lotion Whistle or Horn Boat Hook Food & Water Marine Hardware 11.

Chapter 12: OPERATION 12.1 General Before you start the engine on your Denali, 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.
Notice: Sailboats not under power, paddle boats and other vessels without power have the right of way over motor powered boats. You must stay clear or pass to the stern of these vessels. Sailboats under power are considered motor boats. Crossing Situations When two motor boats are crossing, the boat on the right has the right of way, the boat with the right of way should maintain its course and speed. The other vessel should slow down and permit it to pass. The boats should sound the appropriate signals.
The General Prudential Rule In obeying the Rules of the Road, due regard must be given to all dangers of navigation and collision, and to any special circumstances, including the limitations of the vessels, which may justify a departure from the rules that is necessary to avoid immediate danger or a collision.
• • Make sure you have signal kits and flare guns aboard, and they are current and in good operating condition. Be sure you have sufficient water and other provisions for the planned cruise. • Leave a written message listing details of your planned cruise with a close friend ashore (Float Plan). The float plan should include a description of your boat, where you intend to cruise, and a schedule of when you expect to arrive in the cruising area and when you expect to return.
CHECK THE U.S. COAST GUARD STANDARDS FOR THE CORRECT TYPE OF DEVICE FOR YOUR BOAT. • Have the following spare parts on board: Extra light bulbs Fuses and circuit breakers Drain plugs Propeller(s) Propeller nut Spark plugs Flashlight and batteries Engine oil Fuel filters Fuel hose and clamps • Make sure all fire extinguishers are in position and in good operating condition. VAPORIZING LIQUID EXTINGUISHERS GIVE OFF TOXIC FUMES; USE ONLY COAST GUARD APPROVED FIRE EXTINGUISHERS. 12.
passengers and for others out enjoying the water. • • Alcohol or drugs can severely reduce your reaction time and affect your better judgement. Alcohol severely reduces the ability to react to several different signals at once. • Alcohol makes it difficult to correctly judge speed and distance, or track moving objects. • Alcohol reduces night vision and the ability to distinguish red from green. YOU SHOULD NEVER OPERATE YOUR BOAT WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL OR DRUGS.
in your area, call the “Boating Safety Hotline,” 800-368-5647 or the “Boat U.S. Foundation Course Hotline,” 800-336-2628 for further information on boating safety courses. Notice: If the drive unit hits an underwater object, stop the engine. Inspect the drive unit for damage. If the unit is damaged, contact your dealer for a complete inspection and repair of the unit. To stop the boat, follow this procedure: • Allow the engine to drop to the idle speed.
LEAVING THE BOAT. 12.5 Docking, Anchoring and Mooring Docking and Dock Lines Maneuvering the boat near the dock and securing the boat require skill and techniques that are unique to the water and wind conditions and the layout of the dock. If possible, position a crew member at the bow and stern to man the lines and assist in docking operations. While maneuvering close to the dock consideration must be giving to the wind and current.
prevent the boat from gaining too much speed. Move the stern right and left by shifting the engine in and out of gear or turning the wheel. When nearly in the slip all the way, straighten the outdrive and shift to forward to stop. Keep the engines running until the lines are secured. Securing Dock Lines Securing a boat along side the dock typically requires a bow and stern line and two spring lines.
conditions. Check landmarks on shore to make sure the anchor is not dragging. If it is dragging, you will have to start all over. It is prudent to use two anchors if your are anchoring overnight or in rough weather. Releasing the Anchor Release the anchor by driving the boat slowly to the point where the anchor line becomes vertical. It should release when you pass that point.
If the boat should become disabled, or if another craft that is disabled requires assistance, great care must be taken. The stress applied to a boat during towing may become excessive. Excessive stress can damage the structure of the boat and create a safety hazard for those aboard. Freeing a grounded vessel, or towing a boat that is disabled, requires specialized equipment and knowledge. Line failure and structural damage caused by improper towing have resulted in fatal injuries.
If the boat becomes swamped and capsizes, you and your passengers should stay with the boat as long as you can. It is much easier for the Coast Guard, aircraft, or other boats to spot, than people in the water. 12.10 Water Skiing Your Denali could be equipped for water skiing. If you have never driven skiers before, you should spend some hours as an observer and learning from an experienced driver.
MOVING PROPELLERS ARE DANGEROUS. THEY CAN CAUSE DEATH, LOSS OF LIMBS, OR OTHER SEVERE INJURY. DO NOT USE THE SWIM PLATFORM OR SWIM LADDER WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. STOP THE ENGINE IF DIVERS, SWIMMERS OR SKIERS ARE ATTEMPTING TO BOARD. ALWAYS PROPERLY STORE THE LADDER BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE. 12.11 Fishing Fishing can be very exciting and distracting for the operator when the action gets intense.
• Turn off the engine when the person is alongside and use a ring buoy with a line attached, a paddle or boathook to assist him to the boat. Make sure you don't hit him with the ring buoy or the boat. • Pull the person to the boat and assist him on board. • Check the person for injuries and administer first aid if necessary. If the injuries are serious, call for help. Refer to the Safety chapter for more information on first aid and requesting emergency medical assistance. MOVING PROPELLERS ARE DANGEROUS.
duty rollers, to support the keel and long bunks running under and parallel to the stringers to support the hull. Avoid using a full roller trailer that does not have bunks. Roller trailers have a tendency to put extreme pressure points on the hull, especially on the lifting strakes, and have damaged boats. The situation is worse during launching and haul out. Damage resulting from improper trailer support or the use of a full roller trailer will not be covered by the Denali Warranty.
• Make sure the tow BALL and COUPLER are the same size and bolts nuts are tightly secured. • The COUPLER MUST BE COMPLETELY OVER THE BALL and the LATCHING MECHANISM LOCKED DOWN. • Make sure the TRAILER IS LOADED EVENLY from front to rear as well as side to side and has the correct weight on the hitch. Too much weight on the hitch will cause the rear of the tow vehicle to drag and may make steering more difficult.
Chapter 13: ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 13.1 Exterior Hull and Deck Hull Cleaning-Below The Water Line When the boat is removed from the water, clean the outer bottom surface immediately. Algae, grass, dirt and other marine growth is easier to remove while the hull is still wet. Use a pressure cleaner or a hard bristle brush to clean the surface. If the hull bottom has been painted with antifouling paint, contact your dealer for the recommended maintenance procedures.
maintenance procedures. Sacrificial Anodes Sacrificial anodes are installed on the outdrive units and the trim tabs. They must be monitored if the boat is to be left in the water. Anodes should be checked monthly and changed when they are 75% of their original size. When replacing the anodes, make sure the contact surfaces are clean, shinny metal and free of paint and corrosion. Never paint over the anode. Boats stored in salt water will normally need to have the anodes replaced every 6 months to one year.
authorized repair person to do the work. DO NOT WAX NONSKID AREAS AS THIS COULD MAKE THEM SLIPPERY AND CONSEQUENTLY INCREASE THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURY. Stainless Steel Hardware When using the boat in saltwater, the hardware should be washed with soap and water after each use. When your boat is used in a corrosive environment such as saltwater, water with a high sulfur content, or polluted water, the stainless steel will periodically develop surface rust stains.
SHOULD BE NOT BE USED ON TOWER LADDERS, STEERING WHEELS AND OTHER AREAS WHERE A GOOD GRIP AND SURE FOOTING IS IMPORTANT. Stains can be removed with a metal polish or fine polishing compound. To minimize corrosion, use a caulking compound to bed hardware and fasteners mounted to aluminum fabrications. If the anodized coating is badly scratched it can be touched up with paint. With proper care, anodized aluminum will provide many years of service.
intervals thereafter, we recommend waxing the panels with one of the following products: • Premium marine Polish with Teflon • Starbrite ® #85714 for Paste Wax • Starbrite ® #85732 for Liquid Wax Notice: Use normal high gloss care products. For best results we recommend Teflon wax manufactured by Starbrite®. To remove water spots, wipe with mineral spirits and wax using one of the recommended products mentioned above. Do not use lacquer thinner, acetone or any other solvent on the finish. 13.
never be folded or stored wet. After several years, the acrylic canvas may lose some of its ability to shed water. If this occurs, wash the fabric and treat it with a commercially available water proofing designed for this purpose. Notice: Some leakage at the seams is normal and unavoidable with acrylic enclosures. Side curtains and clear connectors can be cleaned with mild soap and water. They should not be allowed to become badly soiled.
The cabin interior can be cleaned just like you would clean a home interior. To preserve the teak woodwork, use teak oil. To maintain the carpeting, use a vacuum cleaner. Because air and sunlight are very good cleansers, periodically put cushions, sleeping bags, etc. on deck, in the sun and fresh air, to dry and air out. If cushions or equipment get wet with saltwater, remove and use clean, fresh water to rinse off the salt crystals. Salt retains moisture and will cause damage. Dry thoroughly and reinstall.
The age of gasoline can effect engine performance. Chemical changes occur as the gasoline ages that can cause deposits and varnish in the fuel system as well as reduce the octane rating of the fuel. Severely degraded fuel can damage the engine and boat fuel tank and lines. Therefore, if your boat is not being run enough to require at least one full tank of fresh fuel a month, a fuel stabilizer should be added to the gasoline to protect the fuel from degradation.
Chapter 14: SEASONAL MAINTENANCE 14.1 Lay-up and Storage Before Storing • Pump out the head. Flush the holding tank using clean soap, water and a deodorizer. Pump out the cleaning solution. • The fuel tank should be left nearly full to reduce condensation that can accumulate in the fuel tank. Allow enough room in the tank for the fuel to expand without leaking out the vents.
Lifting It is essential that care be used when lifting your boat. Make sure the spreader bar at each sling is at least as long as the distance across the widest point of the boat that the sling will surround. Put the slings in position. The positions are marked with small labels on each side of the boat under the rubrails. Elevating lifts are commonly used to store boats for extended periods.
Supporting The Boat For Storage Your trailer or a well-made cradle is the best support for your boat during storage. When storing the boat on a trailer for a long period: • Make sure the rollers and pads properly support the hull of the boat and do not put pressure on the hull lifting strakes. • Make sure the trailer is on a level surface and the bow is high enough so that water will drain from the cockpit and bilge. • Make sure the outdrives are in the down position.
Preparing The Boat For Storage • Remove the bilge drain plug, if installed. • Thoroughly wash the fiberglass exterior, especially the antifouling portion of the bottom. Remove as much marine growth as possible. Lightly wax the exterior fiberglass components. Remove all oxidation from the exterior hardware, and apply a light film of moisturedisplacing lubricant. • • Remove the propellers and grease the propeller shafts using light waterproof grease. • Remove the batteries and store in a cool place.
will not remove the water from the freshwater pump. Remove the outlet hose on the pump. Turn the pump on and allow it to pump out any remaining water....about a cupful. A recommended alternative to the above-mentioned procedure is the use of commercially available non toxic, freshwater system antifreeze. After draining the potable water tank, lines and water heater, pour the antifreeze mixture into the freshwater tank, prime and operate the pump until the mixture flows from all freshwater faucets.
Bilge Coat all metal components, wire busses, and connector plugs in the bilge with a protecting oil. It is also important to protect all strainers, sea cocks, pumps, and steering components. The bilge pumps and bilge pump lines must be completely free of water and dried out when the boat is laid-up for the winter in climates where freezing occurs. Compartments in the bilge that will not drain completely should be pumped out and then sponged until completely free of water.
TIALLY HAZARDOUS AND IS NOT RECOMMENDED. Proper storage is very important to prevent serious damage to the boat. If the boat is to be stored indoors, make sure the building has enough ventilation. It is very important that there is enough ventilation both inside the boat and around the boat. 14.3 Recommissioning DO NOT OPERATE THE BOAT UNLESS IT IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED. KEEP ALL FASTENERS TIGHT. KEEP ADJUSTMENTS ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATIONS.
• Pump the antifreeze from the fresh and raw water systems and flush several times with freshwater. Make sure all antifreeze is flushed from the water heater and it is filled with freshwater before it is activated. • Check and lubricate the steering and control systems. • Clean and wash the boat. • Install all upholstery, cushions and canvas. After Launching • • Carefully check all water systems and the engine hoses for leaks. Operate each system one at a time checking for leaks and proper operation.
