After Operation

• If operating in saltwater, wash the boat and all equipment with soap and water. Flush the

engines using freshwater. Please refer to the engine owner's manual for instructions on

flushing your outboard engines.

• Check the bilge area for debris and excess water.

• Fill the fuel tanks to near full to reduce condensation. Allow enough room in the tank for the

fuel to expand without being forced out through the vent.

• Turn off all electrical equipment except the automatic bilge pumps.

• If you are going to leave the boat for a long period of time, put the battery main switches in

the “Off” position and close all seacocks.

• Make sure the boat is securely moored.

TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE BOAT, CLOSE ALL SEA COCKS BEFORE LEAV-

ING THE BOAT.

11.5 Grounding and Towing

If the boat should become disabled, or if another craft that is disabled requires assistance, great

care must be taken. The stress applied to a boat during towing may become excessive. Excessive

stress can damage the structure of the boat and create a safety hazard for those aboard.

Freeing a grounded vessel, or towing a boat that is disabled, requires specialized equipment and

knowledge. Line failure and structural damage caused by improper towing have resulted in fatal

injuries. Because of this, we strongly suggest that these activities be left to those who have the

equipment and knowledge, e.g., the U.S. Coast Guard or a commercial towing company, to safely

accomplish the towing task.

THE MOORING CLEATS ON PURSUIT BOATS ARE NOT DESIGNED OR INTENDED

TO BE USED FOR TOWING PURPOSES. THESE CLEATS ARE SPECIFICALLY DE-

SIGNED AS MOORING CLEATS FOR SECURING THE BOAT TO A DOCK, PIER,

ETC. DO NOT USE THESE FITTINGS FOR TOWING OR ATTEMPTING TO FREE

A GROUNDED VESSEL.
