2570 Offshore

10.11 Flooding or Capsizing

Boats can become unstable if they become flooded or completely swamped. You must always be aware of the
position of the boat to the seas and the amount of water in the bilge. Water entering the boat over the transom
can usually be corrected by turning the boat into the waves. If the bilge is flooding because of a hole in the
hull, the engine bracket or a defective hose, you may be able to plug it with rags, close the thru-hull valve
or 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.

10.12 Transporting Your Boat

The Pursuit 2570 Offshore 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 SUPPORT IS NOT COVERED BY THE PURSUIT WARRANTY.

10.13 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 2570 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.
