  • Page 17: Chapter 1: Propulsion System

    PROPULSION SYSTEM 1.1 General The 2460 Denali is designed to be powered with a single inboard/outboard engine and drive system. Each manufacturer of the various inboard/outboard drive systems provides an owner’s information manual with its product. It is important that you read the manual(s) very carefully and become familiar with the proper care and operation of the engine and drive system.

  • Page 18: Drive Systems

    Proper engine alignment is very important. This was done by the factory when the engine was installed and should be checked at the 20 hour check and annually thereafter. If you experience excessive vibrations or suspect that the engine is out of alignment, please contact your Pursuit dealer.

  • Page 19: Engine Exhaust System

    DO NOT PAINT THE OUTDRIVE OR ALLOW THE OUTDRIVE TO COME IN CONTACT WITH ANTIFOULING PAINTS DESIGNED FOR BOAT HULLS. MANY OF THESE PAINTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE OUTDRIVE. CONTACT YOUR PURSUIT DEALER OR ENGINE MANUFACTURER FOR INFORMATION ON THE PROPER PAINTING PROCE- DURES.

    Installation of “Freshwater Cooling” provides adequate engine cooling without exposing the internal engine cooling system to the harmful effects of surface water. This system is optional with gasoline stern drive engines on the 2460 Denali. The engine owner’s manual provides additional information regarding service and maintenance of this equipment.

    2.7 Trim Tabs The 2460 Denali uses toggle switches to control the trim tabs. The switch is labeled and controls bow up and down movements. It also controls starboard and port up and down movements. Bow up and bow down will control the hull planing attitude while port and starboard up and down provide control for the hull listing.

  • Page 28: Control Systems Maintenance

    A periodic inspection of all steering hoses, linkage and helm assemblies should be made. Signs of corrosion, cracking, loosening of fastenings, excessive wear, or deterioration should be immedi- ately corrected. Failure to do so could lead to steering system failure that would result in loss of control. 2460 Denali...
