Chapter 9:

SAFETY EQUIPMENT

9.1 General

Your boat and outboard engines have been equipped with safety equipment designed to enhance the safe

operation of the boat and to meet U.S. Coast Guard safety standards. The Coast Guard or state, county, and

municipal law enforcement agencies require certain additional accessory safety equipment on each boat.

This equipment varies according to length and type of boat and type of propulsion. Most of the accessory

equipment required by the Coast Guard is described in this chapter. Some local laws require additional

equipment. It is important to obtain “Federal Requirements And Safety Tips for Recreational Boats,”

published by the Coast Guard, and copies of state and local laws, to make sure you have the required

equipment for your boating area. You should also read the book entitled "Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts -

Owner's Manual" included with this manual.

Your Pursuit could be equipped with engine alarms and cabin monitoring equipment. These systems are

designed to increase your boating safety by alerting you to potentially serious problems in the primary power

systems, the engine compartment, and the cabin. Alarm systems are not intended to lessen or replace good

maintenance and precruise procedures.

This chapter also describes safety related equipment that could be installed on your boat. This equipment will

vary depending on the type of engines and other options installed by you or your dealer.

9.2 Engine Alarms

Most outboards are equipped with an audible alarm system mounted in the helm area that monitors selected

critical engine systems. The alarm will sound if one of these systems begins to fail. Refer to the engine

owner’s manual for information on the alarms installed with your engines.

If the alarms sounds:

• Immediately throttle the engines back to idle.

• Shift to neutral.

• Monitor the engine gauges to determine the cause of the problem.

• If necessary, shut off the engines and investigate until the cause of the problem is found.

• If the boat is equipped with water sensors in the fuel filters, be sure to check them for excessive water.
