Page 17: Chapter 1: Propulsion System
PROPULSION SYSTEM 1.1 General The Pursuit C 250 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. -
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. C 250...
