C 280 / S 280 / C 310 / ST 310
Read the book entitled, "Sportfish, Cruisers,
Yachts - Owner's Manual" and the owner's
manual supplied by the CO detector manu-
facturer for additional information regarding
the hazards and symptoms of CO gas, CO
poisoning and operation instructions. If you
did not receive these manuals, contact the
Pursuit Customer Relations Department.
Many manufacturers of carbon monoxide
detectors offer a testing and recertification
program. We recommend that you contact
the manufacturer of your CO detector and
have it tested and recertified periodically.
Certain electronic equipment have a limited
life span, follow the CO detectors manufac-
turers recommendations on when the detec-
tor must be replaced.
9.7 First Aid
It is the boat operator's responsibility to be
familiar with proper first-aid procedures and
be able to care for minor injuries or illnesses
of your passengers. In an emergency, you
could be far from professional medical assis-
tance, so be prepared. We recommend you
be prepared by receiving training in basic
first aid and CPR, through classes given by
the Red Cross or your local hospital.
Equip your boat with at least a simple
marine first-aid kit and a first-aid manual.
The marine first-aid kit should be designed
for the marine environment and be well sup-
plied. Keep it accessible so each person
onboard knows where it is located. As sup-
plies are used, replace them. Some com-
mon drugs and antiseptics can lose their
strength or become unstable as they age.
Ask a medical professional about the sup-
plies you should carry and the safe shelf life
of prescription drugs or other medical sup-
plies you carry. Replace old supplies
whether they have been used or not.
In many emergency situations, the Coast
Guard can provide assistance in obtaining
medical advice for treatment of serious inju-
ries or illness. If you are within VHF range of
a Coast Guard Station, make the initial con-
tact on channel 16 and follow their instruc-
tions.
9.8 Required Safety Equipment
In addition to items installed by Pursuit, cer-
tain other equipment is required by the U.S.
Coast Guard to help ensure passenger
safety. Items like a sea anchor, working
anchor, extra dock lines, flare pistol, life
vests, a line permanently secured to your
ring buoy, etc., could at some time save your
passengers’ lives, or save your boat from
damage. Refer to the “Federal Require-
ments and Safety Tips for Recreational
Boats” pamphlet for a more detailed descrip-
tion of the required equipment. You can also
contact the U.S. Coast Guard Boating
Safety Hot line, 800-368-5647, for informa-
tion on boat safety courses and brochures
listing the Federal equipment requirements.
Also, check your local and state regulations.
The Coast Guard Auxiliary offers a “Cour-
tesy Examination.” This inspection will help
ensure your boat is equipped with all of the
necessary safety equipment.
The following is a list of the accessory equip-
ment required on your boat by the U.S.
Coast Guard:
Personal Flotation Devices (PFD's)
PFD's must be Coast Guard approved, in
good and serviceable condition, and of
appropriate size for the intended user. Wear-
able PFD's must be readily accessible,
meaning you must be able to put them on in
a reasonable amount of time in an emer-
gency. Though not required, the Coast
Guard emphasizes that PFD's should be
