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. 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 the transmissions 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.
