Section 7 Exterior Equipment

OS 315

Windlass (Optional)

The 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 locker is equipped

with a receptacle for the windlass remote

control.

The anchor is lowered by releasing the

anchor from the cleat or chain snubber on

the pulpit and activating the “Deploy” switch

at the helm. After the anchor is set, do not

allow the windlass to take the force from the

anchor line; secure line to bow cleat.

Become familiar with the safe operation of

the windless before using it. Refer to the

windlass owner's manual for use of the

windlass and remote control.

The anchor is retrieved by releasing the line

from the bow cleat and activating the

“Retrieve” switch at the helm. Once the

anchor is retrieved, secure the anchor to the

chain snubber or bow cleat to prevent it from

being released while underway.

Boats at anchor in high swell conditions will

snub on the anchor line. This can cause slip-

page or apply excessive loads to the wind-

lass.

DO NOT use the windlass as a winch to

move the boat over the anchor. Move the

boat under its own power to the anchor and

to break the anchor loose.

Windshield

Your Pursuit boat is equipped with a one-

piece vented fiberglass windshield with

tinted glass. The glazing can be replaced,

similar to replacing automotive windshields.

The windshield is equipped with a center

opening vent panel.

Refer to Windshield Ventilation in the Venti-

lation System section and 12-Volt DC Pan-

els in the Electrical System section.

Downriggers (Dealer Installed)

Downriggers must be installed on the deck

area aft of the gunwale board. Your boat is

reinforced in this area for the installation of

downriggers. DO NOT install or insert down-

riggers in the rod holders mounted in the

gunwale boards, damage can occur.
