Chapter 9:

SAFETY EQUIPMENT

9.1 General

Your boat and inboard engines have been equipped with safety equipment designed to enhance the

safe operation of the boat and to meet U.S. Coast Guard safety standards. The Coast Guard or state,

county, and municipal law enforcement agencies require certain additional accessory safety

equipment on each boat. This equipment varies according to length and type of boat and type of

propulsion. The accessory equipment required by the Coast Guard is described in this chapter.

Some local laws require additional equipment. It is important to obtain “Federal Requirements And

Safety Tips for Recreational Boats,” published by the Coast Guard, and copies of state and local

laws, to make sure you have the required equipment for your boating area. You also should read

the book entitled “Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts - Owner's Manual” included with this manual.

Your Pursuit could be equipped with engine alarms, an optional automatic fire extinguishing

system and cabin monitoring equipment. These systems are designed to increase your boating

safety by alerting you to potentially serious problems in the primary power systems, the engine

compartment, and the cabin. Alarm systems are not intended to lessen or replace good maintenance

and precruise procedures.

This chapter also describes safety related equipment that could be installed on your boat. This

equipment will vary depending on the type of engines and other options installed by you or your

dealer.

9.2 Engine Alarms

The Pursuit 3000 Express is equipped with engine alarms that monitor water temperature and oil

pressure. The alarms are equipped with a buzzer and/or a light located in the helm. The alarm will

sound if the water temperature reaches 205 degrees F. or the oil pressure drops below 6 P.S.I. The

diesel engine installations have fuel filters that are equipped with sensors that will activate the red

light at the helm if excessive water has accumulated in the filters and additional alarms to monitor

transmission pressure. Please refer to the engine owner's manual or contact your dealer for more

information on the engine alarm system installed in your boat.

If the alarms sound:

• Immediately throttle the engines back to idle.

• Shift the transmissions to neutral.
