2260 DENALI
Chapter 10:
OPERATION
10.1 General
Before you start the engine on your Denali, you should have become familiar with the various
component systems and their operation, and have performed a “Pre-Cruise System Check”. A
thorough understanding of the component systems and their operation is essential to the proper
operation of the boat. This manual and the associated manufacturers’ information is provided to
enhance your knowledge of your Pursuit boat. Please read them carefully.
Your boat must have the necessary safety equipment on board and be in compliance with the U.S.
Coast Guard, local and state safety regulations. There should be one “Personal Flotation Device”
(PFD) for each person. Nonswimmers and small children should wear PFDs at all times. You
should know and understand the “Rules of the Road” and have had an experienced operator brief
you on the general operation of your new boat. At least one other person should be instructed on
the proper operation of the boat in case the operator is suddenly incapacitated.
The operator is responsible for his safety and the safety of his passengers. When boarding or
loading the boat, always step onto the boat , never jump. All passengers should be properly seated
whenever the boat is operated above idle speed. Your passengers should not be allowed to sit on
the seat backs, gunnels, bows, transoms or on fishing seats whenever the boat is underway. The
passengers should also be seated to properly balance the load and must not obstruct the operators
view, particularly to the front.
Overloading and improper distribution of weight can cause the boat to become unstable and are a
significant cause of accidents. Do not overload your boat. Remember, it is the responsibility
of the operator to use good common sense and sound judgement in loading and operating
the boat.
10.2 Rules of the Road
As in driving an automobile, there are a few rules you must know for safe boating operation. The
following information describes the basic navigation rules and action to be taken by vessels in a
crossing, meeting or overtaking situation while operating in inland waters. These are basic
examples and not intended to teach all the rules of navigation. For further information consult the
“Navigation Rules” or contact the Coast Guard, Coast Guard Auxiliary, Department of Natural
Resources, or your local boat club. These organizations sponsor courses in boat handling,
including rules of the road. We strongly recommend such courses. A book entitled “Sportfish,
Cruisers and Yachts” is included with this manual. It contains valuable navigation and safety
information. Other books on this subject are also available from your local library.
