should be made fast to the anchor line cleat to relieve the load on the windlass.

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 OR CHAIN BINDER BEFORE

OPERATING YOUR BOAT.

The anchor is hauled in by releasing the line from the bow cleat and

activating the “Retrieve” switch at the helm. When the chain begins

to enter the windlass gypsy, release the switch. Jog the switch to

start and stop the windlass. This will allow the anchor to properly

orient itself for storage in the anchor roller. The anchor should be

inspected to confirm that it is oriented with the plow/flukes down so

the anchor will not contact the hull. 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.

Boats at anchor in a high swell will snub on the anchor 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.

Refer to the windlass owner's manual for use 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 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 WIND-

LASS AND ANCHOR LINE DURING OPERATION.

DOWNRIGGERS (DEALER INSTALLED)

Downriggers must be installed on the deck area aft of the gunwale board. Pursuit Boats reinforces this area

especially for the installation of downriggers. Downriggers should not be installed or inserted in the rod

holders mounted in the gunwale boards as damage may occur.

7.2 Cockpit

SWIM PLATFORM

Your Pursuit is equipped with an integral swim platform. There are inspection deck plates in the splashwell

to provide access to the stern bilge and engine mounting bolts. An access panel on the port side of the platform

provides access to the port rear bilge and the port trim tab line. Always make sure these plates and hatches

are secure before operating your boat. A fold-away boarding ladder is located under the hatch on the swim

platform.
