2865 DENALI
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. It is recommended the extinguishers be mounted in a readily
accessible position.
Fire extinguishers require regular inspections to insure that:
• Seals & tamper indicators are not broken or missing.
• Pressure gauges or indicators read in the operable range.
• There is no obvious physical damage, corrosion, leakage or clogged nozzles.
Refer to the “Federal Requirements And Safety Tips For Recreational Boats”
pamphlet or contact the U.S. Coast Guard Boating Safety Hotline, 1-800-368-
5647, for information on the type and size fire extinguisher required for your
boat.
Please refer to the information provided by the fire extinguisher manufacturer
for instructions on the proper maintenance and use of your fire extinguisher.
INFORMATION FOR HALON OR AGENT FE-241 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS IS PROVIDED BY
THE MANUFACTURER. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU READ THE INFORMATION CARE-
FULLY AND COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM, IN THEORY AND OPERATION,
BEFORE USING YOUR BOAT.
Fuel compartment and bilge fires are very dangerous because of the presence of gasoline or
diesel fuel in the various components of the fuel system and the possibility for explosion. You
must make the decision to fight the fire or abandon the boat. If the fire cannot be extinguished
quickly or it is too intense to fight, abandoning the boat may be your only option.
If you find yourself in this situation, make sure all passengers have a life
preserver on and go over the side and swim well upwind of the boat. This will
keep you and your passengers well clear of any burning fuel that could be
released and spread on the water as the boat burns or in the event of an explosion.
When clear of the danger, check about and account for all those who were aboard
with you. Give whatever assistance you can to anyone in need or in the water
without a buoyant device. Keep everyone together in a group for morale and to aid rescue
