2470 CENTER CONSOLE
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE TRAILER BUNKS AND ROLLERS ARE ADJUSTED SO
THEY ARE NOT PUTTING EXCESSIVE PRESSURE ON THE LIFTING STRAKES
AND ARE PROVIDING ENOUGH SUPPORT FOR THE HULL. HULL DAMAGE RE-
SULTING FROM IMPROPER TRAILER SUPPORT IS NOT COVERED BY THE PUR-
SUIT WARRANTY.
Before Going Out On The Highway:
• The BIMINI TOP, SIDE CURTAINS, CLEAR CONNECTOR, BACK DROP and AFT
CURTAIN must be removed when trailering. Canvas enclosures are not designed to
withstand the extreme wind pressure encountered while trailering and will be damaged.
Always remove and properly store the enclosure before trailering your boat.
• Make sure the tow BALL and COUPLER are the same size and bolts nuts are tightly secured.
• The COUPLER MUST BE COMPLETELY OVER THE BALL and the LATCHING
MECHANISM LOCKED DOWN.
• Make sure the TRAILER IS LOADED EVENLY from front to rear as well as side to side and
has the correct 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.
• The SAFETY CHAINS must be attached crisscrossing under the coupler to the frame of the
tow vehicle. If the ball was to break, the trailer would follow in a straight line and prevent
the coupler from dragging on the road. Make sure the trailer emergency brake cable or chain
is also installed to the tow vehicle frame.
• Make sure the LIGHTS on the trailer function properly.
• CHECK THE BRAKES. 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.
• Make sure the tow vehicle has SIDE VIEW MIRRORS that are large enough to provide an
unobstructed rear view on both sides of the vehicle.
• CHECK THE TIRES and WHEEL BEARINGS.
MAKE SURE YOUR TOWING VEHICLE AND TRAILER ARE IN COMPLIANCE
WITH ALL STATE AND LOCAL LAWS. CONTACT YOUR STATE MOTOR VEHICLE
BUREAU FOR LAWS GOVERNING THE TOWING OF TRAILERS.
