I just purchased my 2002 - 2870 CC on Labor Day weekend, but the rode that is on the boat is a bit chewed up.  I assumed it was from the windlass, though. 

I'll take a closer look next time out, though.  If you do call Pursuit, I've had very good dealings with customer service.  I had to get some pieces that were off or broken on the boat when I purchased it.  They may be able to get you an answer.

Anybody have problems with 20" wiper blades running off the windshield and getting the rubber torn up after a few swipes? 20" blades came from the dealer, wtf?

Proud THT member here - thanks!

pc - do you have a windlass & anchor roller ?  What exactly is chafing the rode ?

I'm replacing my blades & arms with new SS ones.  The present arms are SS painted black & the blades are not SS.  

Anyone want the old arms ?

Elusive,

The fairlead on the pulpit, stainless, aluminum or whatever it is, is chafing the anchor line.  When the boat yaws back and forth into the wind, the line chafes against the sharp edges on the sides of the fairlead.  I do not have a windlass.  The line leads straight from the bow cleat through the roller.

 Passchristian,

If you get a chance post a picture of the pulpit.  I am curious on how yours is set up.  I don't have any problems with mine and I have a 1999 2870 OS.  I will try to post a pick of mine tomorrow if I get a chance to take a picture.

Got it.  My rode is chewed up as well, mostly from the windlass. It is 5/8" so it doesn't seem to compromise the rode

One of those velcro chafe guards might be a simple solution

One of the best ways to prevent chaffing is to place a piece of old garden hose around the rode at the point where the chaffing occurs.

What is THT?

I am in the process of purchassing a 1999 3000 Express.  Sea Trial and hull survey has been completed.  Mechanical inspection will be Monday.  If all goes well Monday and the oil sample data comes back OK then we sign the check.

Will be looking to find all of the Pursuit people that I can to ask many, many questions.

George, good luck on that new boat.

Move over to the new Pursuit Owners web site www.pursuitowners.com/  you will have some place to ask Pursuit questions there.

THT is The Hull Truth, http://www.thehulltruth.com/ Its a general boating site with some good info. There is also some bad info there, so be wary, as always. Don't get me wrong. It's not a bad site. Its big and it is populated by some nice smart people as well as some stupid jerks. You just have to sort it all out.
