  • Page 17: Chapter 1: Propulsion System

    PROPULSION SYSTEM 1.1 General The Pursuit OS 335 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. OS 335...
  • Page 21: Chapter 2: Helm Systems

  • 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: Automatic Fire Extinguisher System

    PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD - ATTACH EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH LANYARD TO OPERATOR. Your Pursuit is equipped with an engine stop switch and lanyard.
