EXTERIOR EQUIPMENT
9.1 Deck
Rails and Deck Hardware
The rail system and hardware fittings have been selected and installed to perform specific
functions. Fenders or mooring lines should be secured to the cleats and not to rails or stanchions.
Mooring lines should be secured to the cleats. Be sure a clear lead exists when running dock lines
or anchor lines. A line inadvertently run around a stanchion or over the rail could cause damage.
Important: All fittings must be periodically inspected for loose fit or wear and damage.
Any problems should be corrected immediately.
PURSUIT BOATS ARE NOT EQUIPPED WITH HARDWARE DESIGNED FOR TOW-
ING PURPOSES. THE MOORING CLEATS ARE NOT TO BE USED FOR TOWING
ANOTHER VESSEL OR HAVING THIS BOAT TOWED.
Bow Pulpit and Roller
The bow pulpit is built into the hull and is equipped with a roller
assembly that allows the anchor to be operated and stored at the
pulpit. The pulpit roller is designed for a Delta
®
plow or a
Danforth
®
style anchor. The anchor line is stored in the rope
locker and routed out the rope locker hatch, through the roller
and connected to the anchor chain. A cleat or chain binder is
provided on the deck near the pulpit to secure the anchor.
Always make sure the anchor is properly secured when it is in
the stored position on the pulpit.
Anchor/Rope Locker
The anchor locker is in the bow of the boat and accessed
through a hatch in the deck. The anchor line is always stored
in the locker. If an anchor is stored in the anchor locker, it must
be properly secured to prevent it from bouncing in the locker
and causing damage to the hull or anchor locker.
The anchor locker is drained by a thru hull fitting in the hull side
near the bottom of the locker. It is very important to check the
drain frequently to make sure it is clean and free flowing.
