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.

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

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

AGE. 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 VESSEL

OR HAVING THIS BOAT TOWED.

ANCHOR ROPE LOCKER

The anchor locker is in the bow of the boat and accessed through a hatch in the deck. A bracket is provided

to secure a Danforth style anchor.

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.

THE ANCHOR MUST BE POSITIONED SO IT DOES NOT REST AGAINST THE HULL SIDES

AND BE PROPERLY SECURED AT ALL TIMES WHEN IT IS STORED IN THE ANCHOR LOCK-

ER. A LOOSE ANCHOR IN THE ANCHOR LOCKER WILL BOUNCE AND CAN DAMAGE THE

BOAT. DAMAGE RESULTING FROM THE ANCHOR BOUNCING IN THE ANCHOR LOCKER

IS NOT COVERED BY THE PURSUIT WARRANTY.

WINDLASS

The windlass is standard on the C 310 and S 310 and

optional on the C 280 and S 280. The windlass is located

under the forward deck hatch above the rope locker. The

anchor line is stored in the rope locker and routed out

through the windlass to the anchor chain.

The anchor is lowered by releasing the anchor from the

cleat or chain binder and operating the “Deploy” switch at

the helm. After the anchor is set, the windlass must not be

left to take the entire force from the anchor line. The line
