3100 OFFSHORE

Boats lying to their anchor in a high swell or heavy weather conditions will snub on the line. This can cause
slippage or apply excessive loads to the windlass.
The windlass should not be used as a winch to move the boat over the anchor. The boat should be moved under
its own power to the anchor and to break the anchor loose.
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 WHEN ANCHORED
OR CHAIN BINDER BEFORE OPERATING YOUR BOAT.
The anchor is hauled in by releasing the line from the bow cleat and operating the “UP” control at the helm.
Once the anchor is retrieved, independently secure the anchor to the chain binder or a cleat to prevent it from
being accidentally released. This is especially important while the boat is under way.
The windlass manufacturer provides an owner’s manual with its product. It is extremely important that you
read the manual and become familiar with the proper care and operation of the windlass.
A WINDLASS MUST BE USED WITH CARE. IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU
READ THE OWNER’S MANUAL AND BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE SAFETY INSTRUC-
TIONS AND PROPER OPERATION OF THE WINDLASS BEFORE USING IT WITH YOUR
BOAT. ALWAYS ENSURE THAT LIMBS, FINGERS, HAIR AND CLOTHING ARE KEPT
CLEAR OF THE WINDLASS AND ANCHOR LINE DURING OPERATION.
Windshield
The Pursuit 3100 Offshore is equipped with a one-piece vented
fiberglass windshield with tinted glass and built-in hand rails.
The windshield is equipped with a center opening vent panel.
The glazing can be replaced using a procedure similar to that used
in replacing automotive windshields.

IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS, OPEN EXTERIOR DOORS AND HATCHES THAT ARE NOT
SECURED PROPERLY CAN SLAM CLOSED UNEXPECTEDLY AND CAUSE INJURY TO PAS-
SENGERS OR DAMAGE TO THE BOAT. MOST DOORS AND HATCHES ARE EQUIPPED
WITH SPECIAL FASTENERS, HATCH LIFTERS, OR SNAPS AND/OR STRAPS, TO SECURE
THEM IN THE OPEN POSITION. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THESE HATCHES AND
DOORS ARE PROPERLY SECURED WHENEVER THEY ARE IN THE OPEN POSITION.
