Operation Section 10 Meeting Head-On Or Nearly-So Situations When two motorboats are approaching each other head-on or nearly head-on, neither boat has the right of way. Both boats should reduce their speed and turn to the right, passing port side to port side and provide enough clearance for safe passage. Both boats should sound appropriate signals.
Section 10 Each person onboard must have at least one personal flotation device onboard and one throwable device. Check the U.S. Coast Guard standards for the correct type required for your boat. • • • • • • • • • Make sure signal kits are onboard and are in good operating condition and are not expired. Make sure you have sufficient water and other provisions for the planned cruise. Leave a written message listing details of your planned cruise (Float Plan) with a close friend ashore.
Operation • • • • Section 10 Alcohol and any mind altering chemicals can severely reduce your reaction time and affect your better judgment. Alcohol reduces the ability to react. Alcohol makes it difficult to judge speed and distance or track moving objects. Alcohol reduces night vision and ability to distinguish red from green. STAY ALERT. The use of alcohol or any other mind altering chemicals that impair judgment, pose a serious threat to you and others.
Section 10 ! CAUTION Operation Safety precautions for tower operation: • To prevent damage, close all seacocks before leaving the boat. 10.6 Fishing Fishing can be very exciting and distracting for the operator of the boat when the action gets intense. Be conscious that your primary responsibility is operating the boat safely to protect yourself, your passengers and other boats around you. Make sure the helm is properly manned and is never left unattended while trolling.
Operation Section 10 10.8 Docking, Anchoring and Mooring soon at it stops. Use fenders to protect the boat while it is docked. Keep the engines running until the lines are secured. Docking and Docklines Backing into a Slip Maneuvering a boat near a dock and securing it requires skill and techniques that are unique to water and wind conditions, and the dock layout. If possible, position a crew member at the bow and stern to assist with the lines and docking.
Section 10 cleats. The spring lines keep the boat from backing into the dock while allowing it to ride the tide. Leaving the Dock Start the engines and let them warm up for 10 to 15 minutes before releasing the lines. Boats steer from the stern and it is important you achieve enough clearance at the stern to maneuver the boat as quickly as possible. Push the stern off and maneuver to gain stern clearance quickly. Proceed slowly until the boat has cleared the dock and other boats.
Operation Section 10 lem. If you are unable to correct the problem, call for help. ment and knowledge, e.g., the U.S. Coast Guard or a commercial towing company. If only one engine has failed, you can operate on one engine. Do not to apply too much power to the running engine. When running one engine to power a twin engine boat, the engine is “over propped” and can be overloaded if too much throttle is applied.
Section 10 10.13 Transporting your Boat Your Pursuit boat is a large boat and should only be trailered by professionals with the right equipment and knowledge to transport large boats without causing damage. Contact your dealer or the Pursuit Customer Relations Department if you are planning to transport your boat and have any questions in regard to the proper equipment and support for the hull.

Canvas enclosures are not designed to withstand the extreme wind pressure encountered while trailering and will be damaged. Always remove and store properly before trailering. 11.4 Cabin Interior Clean cabin interior just like you would clean a home interior.
Seasonal Maintenance Section 12 Seasonal Maintenance Severe gelcoat cracking or more serious hull damage can occur during hauling and launching if pressure is created on the gunwales (sheer) by the slings. Use flat, wide slings and spreaders long enough to keep pressure from the gunwales. DO NOT allow your boat to be hauled when the spreaders on the lift are not wide enough to take the pressure off the gunwales. 12.1 Storage and Lay-up Before Hauling: • • • • Pump out the head.
Section 12 resulting from improper cradle or trailer support is not covered by the Pursuit warranty. Preparing The Boat For Storage: • • • • • • • • • • • • Remove the bilge drain plug(s), if installed. Thoroughly wash fiberglass exterior, especially the antifouling portion of the bottom. Remove as much marine growth as possible. Lightly wax the exterior fiberglass components. Remove all oxidation from the exterior hardware and apply a light film of moisture displacing lubricant.
Seasonal Maintenance washdown pump, will not remove the water from the pump. Remove the outlet hose on the pump, turn it on and allow it to pump out any remaining water, approximately a cupful. An alternate method is to use commercially available nontoxic, potable water system antifreeze. If antifreeze is used, pour the mixture into a pail and put the raw water intake lines into the solution.
Section 12 and store in a safe, dry place. Remove all electronics. Coat all wire connectors and bus bars in the helm compartment with a protecting oil. Seasonal Maintenance store the boat in a damp storage enclosure. Excessive dampness can cause electrical problems, corrosion, and excessive mildew. Clean the aluminum frame with soap and water and dry thoroughly. Apply an aluminum metal protector to the entire frame to reduce corrosion and pitting.
Seasonal Maintenance Section 12 After Launching: • • • • • Check all water systems and the engine mounting bolts for leaks. Operate each system one at a time and check for leaks and proper operation. Check the bilge pump, manual and automatic switches. When the engines start, check the cooling system port below the engine cowling for a strong stream of water to ensure cooling pump is operating. Carefully monitor the gauges and check for leakage and abnormal noises.
