LS 235

Chapter 7:

EXTERIOR EQUIPMENT

7.1 Deck

RAILS AND DECK HARDWARE

The rail system and hardware fittings have been selected and installed to perform specific functions. Fenders

or mooring lines should be secured to the cleats and not to rails or stanchions. Be sure a clear lead exists when

running dock lines or anchor lines. A line inadvertently run around a stanchion or over the rail could cause

damage. Some cleats are flush mount and must be raised prior to use.

ALL FITTINGS MUST BE PERIODICALLY INSPECTED FOR LOOSE FIT OR WEAR AND

DAMAGE. ANY PROBLEMS SHOULD BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY.

PURSUIT BOATS ARE NOT EQUIPPED WITH HARDWARE DESIGNED FOR TOWING PUR-

POSES. THE MOORING CLEATS ARE NOT TO BE USED FOR TOWING ANOTHER VES-

SEL OR HAVING THIS BOAT TOWED.

ANCHOR/ROPE LOCKER

The anchor locker is in the bow of the boat and accessed through a hatch in the deck. A bracket is provided

for the storage of a Danforth

style anchor.

THE ANCHOR MUST BE POSITIONED SO IT DOES NOT REST AGAINST THE HULL

SIDES AND BE PROPERLY SECURED AT ALL TIMES WHEN IT IS STORED IN THE AN-

CHOR LOCKER. A LOOSE ANCHOR IN THE ANCHOR LOCKER WILL BOUNCE AND CAN

DAMAGE THE BOAT. DAMAGE RESULTING FROM THE ANCHOR BOUNCING IN THE

ANCHOR LOCKER IS NOT COVERED BY THE PURSUIT WARRANTY.

WINDLASS (Optional)

The optional windlass is located under the forward deck hatch above the rope locker. The anchor line is stored

in the rope locker and routed out through the windlass to the anchor chain.

The anchor is lowered by releasing the anchor from the cleat or chain binder and operating the “DOWN”

control at the helm.

AFTER THE ANCHOR IS SET, THE WINDLASS MUST NOT BE LEFT TO TAKE THE EN-

TIRE FORCE FROM THE ANCHOR LINE. THE LINE SHOULD BE MADE FAST TO THE

ANCHOR LINE CLEAT TO RELIEVE THE LOAD ON THE WINDLASS.

Boats lying to their anchor in a high swell or heavy weather conditions will snub on the line. This can cause

slippage or apply excessive loads to the windlass.
