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.
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.
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 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...
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).
Control or cable adjustments may be required to correct this condition should it persist. See your Pursuit dealer for necessary control and cable adjustments.
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...
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.
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.

Fuel System 3.1 General The gasoline fuel system used in Pursuit boats is designed to meet or exceed the requirements of the U.S. Coast Guard, the Boating Industry Association, and The American Boat and Yacht Council in effect at the time of manufacture.
Page 32
After fueling, replace the fill cap and wash the areas around the fuel fill deck plate and below the fuel vent. Residual fuel left on the deck and hull sides can be dangerous and will yellow the fiberglass or damage the striping. 2470 CENTER CONSOLE...
3.2 Outboard Fuel System The fuel system on the Pursuit 2470 Center Console has one fuel tank. The fuel tank is mounted in the center of the bilge and has one or two withdrawal lines equipped with anti-siphon valves where the fuel lines attach to the fuel tank.
LINE FOR GASOLINE ENGINES. DO NOT USE A FUEL THAT CONTAINS HARSH ADDI- TIVES 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 REGARD- ING FUEL REQUIREMENTS FOR YOUR ENGINE(S).
The covers help prevent water and other foreign matter from contaminating the fuel and fuel system. If a vent cover is damaged or lost it should be replaced as soon as possible. 2470 CENTER CONSOLE...
Page 36
DO NOT DRAIN ANY FUEL INTO THE BILGE. THIS COULD LEAD TO A FIRE OR EX- PLOSION. AFTER THE FILTER ELEMENT HAS BEEN CHANGED, PRIME THE FUEL SYSTEM AND CHECK ALL FITTINGS FOR LEAKS BEFORE AND AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE. 2470 CENTER CONSOLE...
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...
Page 39
The switch is a three-position switch. The middle position is “OFF." Moving the switch in one direction will activate the navigation lights. Moving the switch in the opposite direction activates the anchor light. Courtesy Lights Activates the lights that illuminate the cockpit area. Panel Lights Activates the engine gauge and compass lights. 2470 CENTER CONSOLE...
Page 40
Additional switch panels may be located in various locations in the cockpit and helm area of the boat. Most of these panels are equipped with one switch and one circuit breaker. The following is a description of additional panels that may be on your Pursuit and the accessories they control: Baitwell Switch This switch activates the baitwell circulating pump that supplies water to the baitwell.
