Chapter 9:

EXTERIOR EQUIPMENT

9.1 Hull

Swim Platform (Optional)

Your Pursuit could be equipped with an optional swim platform in the stern of the boat. The swim platform

can only be installed by the Pursuit factory at the time of construction. Improper swim platform installation

can damage the boat’s transom or interfere with the transom door.

A boarding ladder is recessed into the swim platform under a special hatch. To use the ladder, open the hatch

in the middle of the swim platform. Then pull the ladder out of the recess and unfold it to the open position.

The ladder must be folded into the recess and the ladder hatch properly secured before starting the engines.

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(S) ARE RUNNING. STOP THE ENGINE(S) IF DIVERS OR SWIM-

MERS ARE ATTEMPTING TO BOARD. ALWAYS REMOVE AND PROPERLY STORE THE

LADDER BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE(S).

Trim Tabs

The trim tabs are recessed into the hull below the swim platform. The trim tabs are an important part of the

control systems. Please refer to the Helm Control Systems chapter for detailed information on the trim tabs.

9.2 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. The stern is equipped with a

hawse pipe and cleat system. Mooring lines should be fed through the hawse pipes then secured to the stern

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.

PURSUIT BOATS ARE NOT EQUIPPED WITH HARDWARE DESIGNED FOR TOWING PUR-

POSES. THE MOORING CLEATS ARE NOT TO BE USED FOR TOWING ANOTHER VES-

SEL OR HAVING THIS BOAT TOWED.

ALL FITTINGS MUST BE PERIODICALLY INSPECTED FOR LOOSE FIT OR WEAR AND

DAMAGE. ANY PROBLEMS SHOULD BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY.
