3370 OFFSHORE

100

If the boat becomes swamped and capsizes, you and your passengers should stay with the boat as long as you

can. It is much easier for the Coast Guard, aircraft, or other boats to spot, than people in the water.

12.12 Transporting Your Boat

The Pursuit 3370 Offshore is a large boat and should only be trailered by professionals that have the knowledge

and equipment to move large boats without causing damage. Please 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.

BOATS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY TRAILERS THAT DON’T PROPERLY SUPPORT THE

HULL. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE TRAILER BUNKS AND PADS ARE ADJUSTED SO

THEY ARE NOT PUTTING EXCESSIVE PRESSURE ON THE LIFTING STRAKES AND ARE

PROVIDING ENOUGH SUPPORT FOR THE HULL. HULL DAMAGE RESULTING FROM

IMPROPER TRAILER SUPPORT IS NOT COVERED BY THE PURSUIT WARRANTY.

12.13 Man Overboard

If someone falls overboard, you must be prepared to react quickly, particularly when you are offshore. The

following procedures will help you in recovering a person that has fallen overboard.

• Immediately stop the boat and sound a man overboard alarm and have all passengers point to the person

in the water.

• Circle around quickly and throw a cushion or life jacket to the person, if possible, and another to use as

a marker.

• Keep the person on the driver side of the boat so you can keep him in sight at all times.

• Make sure to approach the person from the downwind side and maneuver the boat so the propellers are

well clear of the person in the water.

• Turn off the engines when the person is alongside and use a ring buoy or a boat cushion with a line attached,

a paddle or boathook to assist him to the boat. Make sure you don't hit him with the ring buoy or the boat.

• Pull the person to the boat and assist him on board.

• Check the person for injuries and administer first aid if necessary. If the injuries are serious, call for help.

Refer to the Safety Equipment chapter for more information on first aid and requesting emergency

medical assistance.

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 ENGINES ARE RUNNING. STOP THE ENGINES IF DIVERS OR SWIMMERS

ARE ATTEMPTING TO BOARD. ALWAYS PROPERLY STORE THE LADDER BEFORE

STARTING THE ENGINE(S).
