2470 WALKAROUND

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 IS RUNNING. STOP THE ENGINE IF DIVERS,

SWIMMERS OR SKIERS ARE ATTEMPTING TO BOARD. ALWAYS REMOVE AND

PROPERLY STORE THE LADDER BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE.

10.7 Fishing

Fishing can be very exciting and distracting for the operator when the action gets intense. You

must always be conscious of the fact that your primary responsibility is the safe operation of your

boat and the safety of your passengers and other boats in the area.

You must always make sure the helm is properly manned and is never left unattended while

trolling.

If you are fishing in an area that is crowded with other fishing boats, it may be difficult to follow

the rules of the road. This situation can become especially difficult when most boats are trolling.

Being courteous and exercising good common sense is essential. Avoid trying to assert your right

of way and concentrate on staying clear and preventing tangled or cut lines and other unpleasant

encounters with other boats. Also keep in mind that fishing line wrapped around your propeller

shaft can damage the seals in the outboard lower unit.

10.8 Trailering Your Boat

If you trailer your boat, make sure that your tow vehicle is capable of towing the weight of the

trailer, boat and equipment and the weight of the passengers and equipment inside the vehicle.

This may require that the tow vehicle be specially equipped with a larger engine, transmission,

brakes and trailer tow package.

The boat trailer is an important part of your boating package. The trailer should be matched to

your boat's weight and hull. Using a trailer with a capacity too low will be unsafe on the road

and cause abnormal wear. A trailer with a capacity too high, can damage the boat. Contact your

dealer to evaluate your towing vehicle and hitch, and to make sure you have the correct trailer for

your boat.

Important Note:

Your Pursuit is a heavy boat and care must be taken when selecting the trailer. We

recommend that you use a bunk style trailer that incorporates a combination of heavy duty

rollers, to support the keel and long bunks running under and parallel to the stringers to

support the hull. Avoid using a full roller trailer that does not have bunks. Roller trailers

have a tendency to put extreme pressure points on the hull, especially on the lifting strakes,

and have damaged boats. The situation is worse during launching and haul out. Damage
