OS 315

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 mounted to the deck near the rear of the pulpit above the rope locker. The anchor

is stored on the pulpit and is raised and lowered by the windlass. 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 on the pulpit and activating the

“Deploy” switch 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.

The windlass should not be used as a winch to move the boat

over the anchor. The boat should be moved under its own

power to the anchor and to break the anchor loose.

DO NOT USE A WINDLASS AS A SOLE

MEANS OF SECURING AN ANCHOR IN

THE BOW PULPIT. ALWAYS SECURE

THE ANCHOR LINE TO A CLEAT OR

CHAIN BINDER BEFORE OPERATING

YOUR BOAT.

The anchor is hauled in by releasing the line from the bow cleat and activating the “Retrieve” switch at the

helm. Once the anchor is retrieved, independently secure the anchor to the chain binder or a cleat to prevent

it from being accidentally released. This is especially important while the boat is under way.

Refer to the windlass owner's manual.

A WINDLASS MUST BE USED WITH CARE. IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU

READ THE OWNER’S MANUAL AND BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE SAFETY INSTRUC-

TIONS AND PROPER OPERATION OF THE WINDLASS BEFORE USING IT WITH YOUR

BOAT. ALWAYS ENSURE THAT LIMBS, FINGERS, HAIR AND CLOTHING ARE KEPT

CLEAR OF THE WINDLASS AND ANCHOR LINE DURING OPERATION.

WINDSHIELD

The Pursuit OS 315 is equipped with a one-piece vented fiberglass windshield with tinted glass. The glazing

can be replaced using a procedure similar to that used in replacing automotive windshields. The windshield

is equipped with a center opening vent panel.
