PROPULSION SYSTEM 1.1 General The Pursuit OS 235 is designed to be powered with a single 2-cycle or 4-cycle outboard motor. Each manufacturer of the various outboard motors provides an owner’s information manual which includes its limited warranty statement with its product. It is important that you read this information very carefully and become familiar with the warranty and proper care and operation of the engine and drive system.
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.
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. The 1st number in the sequence (example 14 x 21) is the diameter of the propeller, and the 2nd number is the pitch.
Page 20
Electrical protection for instruments and ignition circuitry is provided by a circuit breaker or fuse located on the engine. 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 failures. OS 235...
Pursuit. 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 and a throttle. General operation will include a position for neutral (straight up and down), a forward position (the 1st detent forward of neutral), and a reverse position (the 1st detent aft of neutral).
Every control system has a neutral safety switch incorporated into it. This device prohibits the engine from being started while the shift lever is in any position other than the neutral position. Control or cable adjustments may be required to correct this condition should it persist. See your Pursuit dealer for necessary control and cable adjustments.
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD - ATTACH EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH LANYARD TO OP- ERATOR. Your Pursuit is equipped with an engine stop switch and lanyard. When the lanyard is pulled it will engage the switch and shut off the engine. If the engine will not start, it could be because the lanyard is not properly inserted into the engine stop switch.
TILT HELM A tilt helm may be installed on the OS 235. To tilt the wheel, depress the lever located in the base of the helm. Make sure it locks into position. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE HELM WHEEL POSITION WHILE UNDERWAY.
Generally, periodic lubrication of all moving parts and connections with a light waterproof grease is in order. Control system adjustments may become necessary. If adjustments become necessary, see your Pursuit dealer. INSPECT AND MAINTAIN STEERING SYSTEM REGULARLY. DO NOT ATTEMPT CON- TROL ADJUSTMENTS UNLESS YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH SERVICING CONTROL SYS- TEM PROCEDURES.
