assist the pumps by bailing with buckets. Put a mayday call into the Coast Guard or nearby boats and distribute

life jackets as soon as you discover your boat is in trouble.

If the boat becomes swamped and capsizes, you and your passengers should stay with the boat as long as you

can. It is much easier for the Coast Guard, aircraft, or other boats to spot, than people in the water.

10.13 Transporting Your Boat

Your Pursuit is a large boat and should only be trailered by professionals that have the knowledge and

equipment to move large boats without causing damage. Please contact your dealer or the Pursuit Customer

Relations Department if you are planning to transport your boat and have any questions in regard to the proper

equipment and support for the hull.

BOATS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY TRAILERS THAT DON’T PROPERLY SUPPORT THE HULL.

ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE TRAILER BUNKS AND PADS ARE ADJUSTED SO THEY ARE NOT

PUTTING EXCESSIVE PRESSURE ON THE LIFTING STRAKES AND ARE PROVIDING ENOUGH

SUPPORT FOR THE HULL. HULL DAMAGE RESULTING FROM IMPROPER TRAILER SUP-

PORT IS NOT COVERED BY THE PURSUIT WARRANTY.

10.14 Trailering Your Boat

If you trailer your boat, make sure that your tow vehicle is capable of towing the weight of the trailer, boat

and equipment and the weight of the passengers and equipment inside the vehicle. This may require that the

tow vehicle be specially equipped with a larger engine, transmission, brakes and trailer tow package.

The boat trailer is an important part of your boating package. The trailer should be matched to your boat's

weight and hull. Using a trailer with a capacity too low will be unsafe on the road and cause abnormal wear.

A trailer with a capacity too high, can damage the boat. Contact your dealer to evaluate your towing vehicle

and hitch, and to make sure you have the correct trailer for your boat.

Important Note:

Your Pursuit is a heavy boat and care must be taken when selecting the trailer. We recommend that you use

a bunk style trailer that incorporates a combination of heavy duty rollers to support the keel and long bunks

running under and parallel to the stringers to support the hull. Avoid using a full roller trailer that does not

have bunks. Roller trailers have a tendency to put extreme pressure points on the hull, especially on the lifting

strakes, and have damaged boats. The situation is worse during launching and haul out. Damage resulting

from improper trailer support or the use a full roller trailer will not be covered by the Pursuit Warranty.

The following safety tips and a book titled “Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts - Owner's Manual,” included in your

literature packet, provide additional information you should know before trailering your boat.

Note: Contact your dealer to evaluate your towing vehicle and hitch, and to make sure you have the cor-

rect trailer for your boat.

• Make sure the trailer is a match for your boat’s weight and hull design. More damage can be done to a

boat by the stresses of road travel than by normal water operation. A boat hull is designed to be supported

evenly by water. So, when it is transported on a trailer it should be supported structurally as evenly across

the hull as possible allowing for even distribution of the weight of the hull, engine and equipment.
