U.S. Coast Guard regulations require certain equipment on each boat. The Coast Guard also sets minimum safety standards for vessels and associated equipment. To meet these standards some of the equipment must be Coast Guard approved. “Coast Guard Approved Equipment” has been determined to be in compliance with OS 235... - Page 12 Some state and local agencies impose similar equipment requirements on waters that do not fall under Coast Guard jurisdiction. These agencies may also require additional equipment that is not required by the Coast Guard. Your dealer or local boating authority can provide you with additional information for the equipment requirements for your boating area. OS 235...

Page 17: Chapter 1: Propulsion System
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. -
Page 18: Engine Lubrication
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 19: Propellers
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...

Page 21: Chapter 2: Helm Systems
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). -
Page 22: Neutral Safety Switch
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. -
Page 23: Engine Stop Switch
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. -
Page 24: Trim Tabs
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. -

Page 28: Fuel System
3.2 Fuel System The fuel system on the Pursuit OS 235 has one fuel tank. The fuel tank has one withdrawal line equipped with an anti-siphon valve where the fuel line attaches to the fuel tank. This valve prevents gasoline from siphoning out of the fuel tank should a line rupture. -
