Page 19: Chapter 1: Propulsion System
3070 Offshore 1.1 General The Pursuit 3070 Offshore is designed to be powered with twin 2 cycle outboard motors. Most outboard motors used on your Pursuit use an oil injection system. Oil is automatically injected in the engines and mixed at the proper ratio from two oil tanks located in the stern bilge below the bait and rigging station.
Page 20: Drive Systems
DO NOT PAINT THE OUTBOARD MOTORS WITH ANTIFOULING PAINTS DESIGNED FOR BOAT HULLS. MANY OF THESE PAINTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE EN- GINES. CONTACT YOUR PURSUIT DEALER OR ENGINE MANUFACTURER FOR INFOR- MATION ON THE PROPER PAINTING PROCEDURES.
Page 21: Engine Cooling System
The propellers convert the engine’s power into thrust. They come in a variety of styles, diameters and pitches. The one that will best suit the needs of your Pursuit will depend somewhat on your application and expected average load. Propeller sizes are identified by two numbers stamped on the prop in sequence.
Page 22: Engine Instrumentation
The instrumentation is unique to the type of outboard motors installed on your Pursuit. Some or all of the following gauges may be present. Tachometer The tachometer displays the speed of the engine in Helm revolutions per minute (RPM).
Page 23 If you have a fuel management system installed on your boat, please refer to the engine or fuel management manual for information on that system. 3070 OFFSHORE...
Page 24 The ignition switches should be sprayed periodically with a contact cleaner/lubricant. The ignition switches and all instruments, controls, etc. should be protected from the weather when not in use. Excessive exposure can lead to gauge and ignition switch difficulties. 3070 OFFSHORE...
Page 25: Chapter 2: Helm Control Systems
The helm on your Pursuit is designed for a binnacle style control with a single lever for each engine that operates as a gear shift Controls and a throttle.

Page 33: Outboard Fuel System
Residual fuel left on the deck and hull sides can be dangerous, and will yellow the fiberglass or damage the striping. 3.2 Outboard Fuel System The outboard fuel system on the Pursuit 3070 has two fuel tanks and four manual “ON/ OFF” fuel valves that are labeled to indicate the engine the valve will supply.
Page 34: Diesel Generator Fuel System
Algae can grow in the accumulated water in diesel fuel tanks. This condition is most prevalent in warm climates. Periodically adding a high quality diesel fuel additive containing an algicide may be required to control algae in your boating area. Please contact your Pursuit dealer or generator manufacturer for additional information regarding fuels and additives.
Page 35: Fueling Instructions
A FUEL THAT CONTAINS HARSH ADDITIVES OR IS AN ALCOHOL BLEND. ANY DAM- AGE DONE TO THE FUEL SYSTEM THAT IS THE RESULT OF USE OF AN ALCOHOL BLEND, IS NOT COVERED BY THE PURSUIT WARRANTY. REFER TO THE ENGINE MANUFACTURER OWNER’S MANUAL REGARDING FUEL REQUIREMENTS FOR YOUR ENGINES.
Page 36 TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION, DO NOT START THE ENGINE(S) WHEN FUEL FUMES ARE PRESENT. FUEL FUMES ARE DANGEROUS AND HARMFUL TO YOUR HEALTH. MAKE SURE ALL GASOLINE ODORS ARE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY. 3070 OFFSHORE...
