  • Page 19: Chapter 1: Propulsion System

    PROPULSION SYSTEM 1.1 General The Pursuit 2470 Center Console is designed to be powered with either a single outboard engine or twin outboard engines. Outboard motors use an oil injection system. Oil is automatically injected in the engine(s) and mixed at the proper ratio from oil tank(s) located in the stern of the boat.

  • Page 20: Drive Systems

    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 21: Engine Cooling System

    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.

  • Page 22: Engine Instrumentation

    The instrumen- tation is unique to the type of outboard motors installed on your Pursuit. Some or all of the following gauges may be present.
  • Page 23 If you have a fuel management system installed on your boat, please refer to the engine or fuel management manual for information on that system. 2470 CENTER CONSOLE...
  • Page 24 The ignition switches 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 difficulties. 2470 CENTER CONSOLE...

  • Page 25: Chapter 2: Helm Control Systems

    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 detente forward of neutral), and a reverse position (the 1st detente aft of neutral).

  • Page 26: Engine Stop Switch

    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 27: Steering System

    A slight clicking sound may be heard as the wheel is turned. This sound is the opening and closing of valves in the helm unit and is normal. Refer to the manufacturer owner’s manual for specific information on the steering system. 2470 CENTER CONSOLE...

  • Page 28: Trim Tabs

    2.7 Trim Tabs Pursuit uses a dual toggle switch 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 provides control for the hull listing.

  • Page 29: Control Systems Maintenance

    The trim tab fluid should be checked often. Keep the fluid level between the marks on the trim tab pump reservoir. If your Pursuit will be left in saltwater for extended periods, it may be necessary to install zinc anodes on the trim tab planes to prevent galvanic corrosion. Refer to the trim tab owner’s manual for additional maintenance information and fluid specifications.

  • Page 37: General

    Chapter 4: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 4.1 General Your Pursuit is equipped with a 12-volt D.C. electrical system that draws current from on-board batteries. The 12-volt batteries in your boat are usually the lead-acid type. They will require maintenance similar to those found in automobiles. The batteries are located in the stern bilge. The starboard battery is located near the battery switches and the port battery is below the removable stern tackle locker.
  • Page 38 12-volt accessories should be on either the battery # 1 or the battery # 2 position. This will keep one battery in reserve for starting the engines. Both battery switches should be turned to the “OFF” position when leaving the boat unattended. 2470 CENTER CONSOLE...
