and prevents it from opening too far.

Remove the cooler to access the bilge.

Refer to Drainage in the Plumbing Systems

section.

Hardtop

The hardtop consists of a fiberglass top sup-

ported by the windshield in the front and

powder coated aluminum legs in the back. It

is designed to accommodate radio anten-

nas, radar antennas and navigation lights. It

could also be equipped with optional outrig-

gers and/or rod holders.

The hardtop 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 hardtop frame is not

designed to support the weight of accesso-

ries in this area and can be damaged. The

starboard rear leg provides the chase for

components mounted to the top.

The hardtop warranty will be voided if the

top is modified in any way or heavy accesso-

ries are mounted to the top. Also, if items

like radar antennas, spotlights and other

accessories are mounted in the wrong loca-

tion, the warranty can be voided. If you

intend to add equipment or make modifica-

tions to the hardtop, contact Pursuit Cus-

tomer Relations to make sure the equipment

you would like to add or the intended modifi-

cation will not void the warranty on the top.

Hardtop Canvas

Because the aluminum frames vary slightly,

the side curtains and drop curtain are cus-

tom made to each boat at the factory. Slide

the side curtains into the slide tracks on top

of the windshield wings. Zip into the hardtop.

Snap the side curtains to the hardtop legs.

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. Lay the curtains in the sun for 30 min-

utes during the heat of the day to make

installation easier in cold weather.

There is a hole drilled in one of the leg bases

to prevent water from being trapped within

the leg and provide wire routing for accesso-

ries. A smaller hole is drilled in the tubing at

the base of the other legs is to allow water to

drain only. Keep the hardtop leg drains

clean, especially before winter lay-up.

! WARNING

Damage to the engine cowlings, stern

seat and transom door can occur if

the stern seat is not opened properly.

the engines must be tilted to the full

down position, the transom door

opened and the latches at the front of

the seat released before the bench

seat can be opened.

! CAUTION

Care should be exercised to prevent

damage to powder coated surfaces. if

the surface is scratched, chipped or

worn exposing the aluminum, it

should be resealed to prevent corro-

sion from forming. If corrosion is

allowed to form, it could cause the

powder coating to bubble and lift

away. Contact your dealer for repair

service.
