Chapter 11:

SAFETY EQUIPMENT

11.1 General

Your boat and inboard engines have been equipped with safety equipment designed to enhance the safe

operation of the boat and to meet U.S. Coast Guard safety standards. The Coast Guard or state, county, and

municipal law enforcement agencies require certain additional accessory safety equipment on each boat. This

equipment varies according to length and type of boat and type of propulsion. The accessory equipment

required by the Coast Guard is described in this chapter. Some local laws require additional equipment. It

is important to obtain “Federal Requirements And Safety Tips for Recreational Boats,” published by the Coast

Guard, and copies of state and local laws, to make sure you have the required equipment for your boating area.

You also should read the book entitled “Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts - Owner's Manual” included with this

manual.

Your Pursuit could be equipped with engine alarms, an optional automatic fire extinguishing system and cabin

monitoring equipment. These systems are designed to increase your boating safety by alerting you to

potentially serious problems in the primary power systems, the engine compartment and the cabin. Alarm

systems are not intended to lessen or replace good maintenance and precruise procedures.

This chapter also describes safety related equipment that could be installed on your boat. This equipment will

vary depending on the type of engines and other options installed by you or your dealer.

11.2 Engine Alarms

The Pursuit 3100 Offshore is equipped with engine alarms that monitor water temperature, oil pressure and

transmission pressure. The alarms are equipped with a buzzer and/or a light located in the helm. Please refer

to the engine owner's manual or contact your dealer for more information on the engine alarm system installed

in your boat.

IF THE ALARMS SOUND:

• Immediately throttle the engines back to idle.

• Shift to neutral.

• Monitor the engine gauges to determine the cause of the problem.

• If necessary, shut off the engines and investigate until the cause of the problem is found.

• If the boat is equipped with water sensors in the fuel filters, be sure to check them for excessive water.
