  • Page 17: Chapter 1: Propulsion System

    PROPULSION SYSTEM 1.1 General The Pursuit 3070 Center Console 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 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: 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 The ignition switch and instrument wire should be sprayed periodically with a contact cleaner/ lubricant. 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. 3070 Center Console...
  • Page 21: Chapter 2: Helm Control Systems

    Refer to the engine or control manuals for specific information on the controls installed on your 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...
  • 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

    WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT THE LANYARD BE ATTACHED TO THE DRIVER WHENEVER THE ENGINES ARE RUNNING. 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 engines. If the engines will not start, it could be because the lanyard is not properly inserted into the engine stop switch.
  • Page 24: Trim Tabs

    Trim tabs are extremely sensitive at high speeds. Adjust for this and be prepared to slow down if difficulties arise. When running into a chop, a slight bow down attitude will improve the ride. Be careful not to over trim. Handling difficulties may result. 3070 Center Console...
  • 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 STEERING SYSTEM REGULARLY. DO NOT ATTEMPT CON- TROL ADJUSTMENTS UNLESS YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH SERVICING CONTROL SYS- TEM PROCEDURES.

    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. 3070 Center Console...
  • Page 31: Oil Tanks

    3.4 Oil Tanks (2-Cycle Engines) The remote oil tanks are equipped with deck fills located in the splashwell area. Pursuit provides, adjacent to the oil fill, an oil tank indicator system to assist in preventing an overfill of the oil tank. A light on the oil tank will turn on when the selected tank is full.

    7.2 Cockpit Drains Your Pursuit has two scupper drains located in the rear of the cockpit. Water is channeled away from all hatches by a gutter or drain rails. The water then drains overboard through the scupper drains. Check the drain system frequently to ensure it is free flowing and that the hoses on the thru-hull fittings are secure and not leaking.
  • Page 50: Fishbox

    The fishbox below the cockpit floor is drained overboard by a macerator pump-out system. The macerator is activated by a momentary switch located in a switch panel in the cockpit below the gunwale. The fishboxes should be flushed out and cleaned after each use. 3070 Center Console...
