EXTERIOR EQUIPMENT

7.1 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. 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.

The stern cleats are flush mount and must be raised prior to use.

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 TOWING PUR-

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

SEL OR HAVING THIS BOAT TOWED.

BOW PULPIT AND ROLLER

The bow pulpit is built into the hull

and is equipped with a roller assem-

bly 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. A chain binder is provided

on the deck near the pulpit to secure

the anchor. Always make sure the

anchor chain is secured by the chain binder before getting underway.

ANCHOR/ROPE LOCKER

The anchor locker is in the bow of the boat and accessed through a

hatch in the deck. The locker is recessed for a Danforth

style anchor.

The anchor locker is equipped with a raw water washdown system to

clean the anchor and chain. The raw water system switch must be in

the "ON" position for the system to operate.

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.
