Chapter 11:
EXTERIOR EQUIPMENT
11.1 Deck
Rails and Deck Hardware
The rail system and hardware fittings have been selected and installed to perform specific functions.
Fenders or mooring lines should be secured to the cleats and not to rails or stanchions. The stern
is equipped with a hawse pipe and cleat system. Mooring lines should be fed through the hawse
pipes then secured to the stern cleats. Be sure a clear lead exists when running dock lines or anchor
lines. A line inadvertently run around a stanchion or over the rail could cause damage.
Important Note: All fittings must be inspected periodically for loose fit or wear and
damage. Any problems should be corrected immediately.
PURSUIT BOATS ARE NOT EQUIPPED WITH HARDWARE DESIGNED FOR TOWING PUR-
POSES. THE MOORING CLEATS ARE NOT TO BE USED FOR TOWING ANOTHER VES-
SEL OR HAVING THIS BOAT TOWED.
Bow Pulpit and Roller
The bow pulpit is built into the hull and is equipped with
a roller assembly that allows the anchor to be operated and
stored at the pulpit. The pulpit roller is designed for a
Delta
®
plow or a Danforth
®
style anchor. The anchor line
is stored in the rope locker and routed out the rope locker
hatch, through the roller and connected to the anchor
chain. A cleat or chain binder is provided on the deck near
the pulpit to secure the anchor. Always make sure the
anchor is properly secured when it is in the stored position
on the pulpit.
Anchor/Rope Locker
The anchor locker is in the bow of the boat and accessed
through a hatch in the deck. The locker is recessed for a
Danforth style anchor. The anchor line is always stored
in the locker. If an anchor is stored in the anchor locker,
it must be properly secured to prevent it from bouncing in
the locker and causing damage to the hull or anchor
locker.
