rope, chain or turnbuckle in addition to

the winch cable. Additional straps may

be required across the beam of the boat.

If these types of straps are used, protect

your boat from chaffing or from the

straps “slapping” the gelcoat. Cover area

where straps are secured and twisting

the straps before they are secured will

help reduce the “slapping” affect. Your

dealer can provide instructions on how to

load, fasten and launch your boat.

Before Going out on the Highway

• Canvas Enclosures - must be removed

when trailering. Canvas enclosures will

be damaged, they are not designed to

withstand the extreme wind pressure

encountered while trailering. Remove

and properly store enclosures before

trailering.

• Tow Ball And Trailer Coupler - make

sure they are the same size and bolts

and nuts are tightly secured.

The coupler MUST BE completely over the

ball and the latching mechanism LOCKED

DOWN.

• Load Trailer Evenly - make sure load is

evenly distributed from front to rear, as

well as side to side and has the correct

distribution of weight on the hitch. Too

much weight on the hitch will cause the

rear of the tow vehicle to drag and may

make steering more difficult. Too little

weight on the hitch will cause the rig to

fishtail and will make controlling the tow

vehicle difficult. Contact your Pursuit

dealer or the trailer manufacturer for the

correct weight on the hitch for your

trailer.

• Safety Chains - attach crisscrossing

under the coupler to the frame of the tow

vehicle. If the ball breaks, the trailer

would follow in a straight line and pre-

vent the coupler from dragging on the

road. Make sure the trailer emergency

brake cable or chain is also installed to

the tow vehicle frame.

• Lights - make sure they are functioning

properly.

• Brakes – check on a level parking area;

roll forward and apply the brakes several

times at increasing speeds to determine

if the brakes on the tow vehicle and

trailer are working properly.

• Side View Mirrors - make sure the tow

vehicle mirrors are large enough to pro-

vide an unobstructed rear view on both

sides of the vehicle.

• Tires and Wheel Bearings – check

before getting on the road.

Make sure your tow vehicle and trailer are in

compliance with all state and local laws for

the area you will be trailering. Contact your

state motor vehicle bureau for laws govern-

ing the towing of trailers.

10.15 Water Skiing

Your Pursuit can be equipped for water ski-

ing. If you have never pulled skiers, you

should observe, learn and practice from an

experienced driver. If you are an experi-

enced driver, become familiar with the boat

and the way it handles before pulling a skier.

The driver should also know the ability of the

skiers and drive accordingly. The following

safety precautions should be observed while

towing water skiers.

• Water ski only in safe areas, away from

other boats and swimmers, out of chan-

nels and in water free of underwater

obstructions and water ski only during

daylight hours.

• Make sure that anyone who skis can

swim. DO NOT allow people who cannot

swim to water ski.

• Make sure all skiers wear a proper life

jacket. A water skier is considered

onboard the boat and a Coast Guard

approved life jacket is required. A skier

should wear a flotation device designed

to withstand the impact of hitting the

water at high speed. A second person

must be onboard to observe the skier so

your attention can be directed to the safe

operation of the boat.

• Approach a skier in the water from the

downwind side and STOP THE ENGINE

and forward motion of the boat before

coming in close proximity to the skier.

• Give immediate attention to a fallen

skier. A fallen skier is very hard to see by

other boats and is extremely vulnerable.
