Exterior Equipment

7-5

Section 7

OS 315

The hard top is not designed to support the

additional weight of items like an instrument

locker or a life raft. Radar and electronics

antennas must be mounted to the top

between the front and rear legs. Do not

mount any antennas or equipment to the

brow area. The hard top frame is not

designed to support the weight of accesso-

ries in this area and could be damaged. The

starboard rear leg is the wire chase for lights

and antennas mounted to the top.

The warranty for the hard top will be void if

the top is modified in any way or heavy

accessories like life rafts or electronics lock-

ers are mounted to the top. Additionally, if

items like radar antennas, spotlights and

other accessories are mounted in the wrong

location, the warranty can be voided. If you

intend to add equipment or make modifica-

tions to the hard top, you should contact

Pursuit Customer Relations to make sure

the equipment you would like to add or the

intended modification will not void the war-

ranty on the top.

Hard Top Canvas

Because the aluminum frames vary slightly,

the side curtains, front clear connector and

drop curtain are custom made to each boat

at the factory. Slide the front clear connector

into the slide track at the front of the top and

snap it to the top of the windshield frame

beginning with the center snaps. The clear

connector will have to be stretched just

enough to pull out the wrinkles to reach the

snaps on the windshield.

After installing the clear connector, slide the

side curtains into the slide tracks on the

sides of the top and to the zippers on the

front of the connector. Snap the curtains to

the windshield and the deck beginning with

the forward snaps on the windshield. The

side curtains will have to be stretched

slightly to pull out the wrinkles and reach the

snaps.

If you have an optional drop curtain, slide it

into the slide track on the back of the hard

top and attach it to the rear of the side cur-

tains. Snap the drop curtain to the deck and

cockpit.

Cold weather can make the clear vinyl mate-

rial on the curtains stiff and difficult to stretch

to the snaps. This can be particularly difficult

with new canvas that has been stored off the

boat. Laying the curtains in the sun for 30

minutes during the heat of the day will make

installing them much easier in cold weather.

There is a hole drilled in one of the leg bases

to prevent water from accumulating within

the leg and provide a wire chase for acces-

sories. A small hole is drilled in the tubing at

the base of the other legs, which are not

drilled for a wire chase, allowing water to

drain. Clean the hardtop leg drain holes.

This is especially important just before

winter lay-up.

7.3 Tower (Dealer Installed)

Your dealer or fabricator can equip your boat

with a field installed aluminum tower. Towers

are normally equipped with full engine con-

trols, compass, engine alarms, restart but-

tons and tachometers. This allows for

complete operation of the boat from the

tower.

! NOTICE

To prevent gel cracking or damage to

gunwales or decks, supports extend-

ing to the stringers may be required.

Fiberglass damage due to the after-

math installation of a tower is not cov-

ered by the Pursuit limited warranty.

! NOTICE

Equipping a boat with a tower may

require installation of lower pitch

props to compensate for the wind

resistance and weight of the tower.
