Swim Platform
Your Pursuit is equipped with an integral
swim platform and engine mounting system
located in the stern of the boat. There are
inspection deck plates in the splashwell to
provide access to the stern bilge and engine
mounting bolts. There is also a hatch on the
port side that provides access to the fuel fil-
ters. Always make sure these plates and
hatches are secure before operating your
boat.
Pull the locking ring up while pulling the lad-
der out of its storage compartment. Swing
the foothold down and each side. Stow the
ladder before getting underway, ensuring the
the locking pin is in place.
Transom Door
The transom door should only be opened
when the boat is not in motion. The door
must be latched in either the full “OPEN” or
full “CLOSED” position. Never leave the
transom door unlatched.
! DANGER
A windlass must be used with care. It
is extremely important that you read
the owner’s manual and become
familiar with the safety instructions
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.
! DANGER
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 swimmers are
attempting to board. Properly store
the ladder before starting the
engine(s).
! CAUTION
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.
