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 3480 DRUMMOND RUNNER...
Page 12 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. 3480 DRUMMOND RUNNER...

Page 17: Chapter 1: Propulsion System
PROPULSION SYSTEM 1.1 General The Pursuit 3480 Drummond Runner is designed to be powered with twin 2-cycle or 4-cycle outboard motors. 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. 3480 DRUMMOND RUNNER...
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 24: Trim Tabs
Therefore, the compass should be adjusted by a professional after the electronics and additional electrical accessories are installed and before operating the boat. 3480 DRUMMOND RUNNER...
Page 25: Control Systems Maintenance
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 THE STEERING SYSTEM REGULARLY. DO NOT ATTEMPT CONTROL ADJUSTMENTS UNLESS YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH SERVICING CONTROL SYSTEM PROCEDURES.

Page 27: Chapter 3: Fuel System
FUEL SYSTEM 3.1 General The fuel system used in Pursuit boats is designed to meet the requirements of the U.S. Coast Guard, the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), and The American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) in effect at the time of manufacture.
Page 28: Fuel System
3.2 Fuel System The outboard fuel system on the Pursuit 3480 has two fuel tanks and four manual “ON/OFF” fuel valves. Refer to the Schematics section of this manual. The fuel valves are located on the fuel filters and are accessed through the hatch under the aft seat.
Page 29: Generator Fuel System
LINE. DO NOT USE A FUEL THAT CONTAINS HARSH ADDITIVES OR IS AN ALCOHOL BLEND. ANY DAMAGE 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 30 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 IMME- DIATELY. 3480 DRUMMOND RUNNER...

Page 70 Never disable the CO detector because you think the alarm may be false. Always contact the detector manufacturer, the Pursuit Customer Relations Department or your local fire department for assistance in finding and correcting the situation.
Page 71: First Aid
If you did not receive these manuals, please contact the Pursuit Customer Relations Department. Many manufacturers of carbon monoxide detectors offer a testing and recertification program. We recommend that you contact the manufacturer of your carbon monoxide detector and have it tested and recertified periodically.
Page 72: Required Safety Equipment
Throwable devices must be immediately available for use. All Pursuit boats must be equipped with at least one Type I, II or III PFD for each person on board, plus one throwable device (Type IV).
Page 73 (fog, rain, haze, etc.) Navigation lights are intended to keep other vessels informed of your presence and course.

Page 88: Transporting Your Boat
It is much easier for the Coast Guard, aircraft, or other boats to spot, than people in the water. 10.12 Transporting Your Boat The Pursuit 3480 Drummond Runner is a large boat and should only be trailered by professionals that have the knowledge and equipment to move large boats without causing damage. Please contact your dealer or the Pursuit Customer Relations Department if you are planning to transport your boat and have any questions in regard to the proper equipment and support for the hull.
Page 89 Too little weight on the hitch will cause the rig to fishtail and will make controlling the tow vehicle difficult. Contact your Pursuit dealer or the trailer manufacturer for the correct weight on the hitch for your trailer.
Page 90: Water Skiing
10.14 Water Skiing Your Pursuit could be equipped for water skiing. If you have never driven skiers before, you should spend some hours as an observer and learn from an experienced driver. If you are an experienced driver, you should take some time to become familiar with the boat and the way it handles before pulling a skier.
