  • Page 17: Propulsion System

    PROPULSION SYSTEM 1.1 General The 2865 Denali is designed to be powered with a single inboard/outboard engine and drive system. Each manufacturer of the various inboard/outboard drive systems 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: Drive Systems

    If the boat is to be left in saltwater, the hull and outdrive must be protected with antifouling paint. It is extremely important that the proper antifouling paint is used on each component. Contact your Pursuit dealer for information on the proper paint to use in your area.

  • Page 19: Engine Exhaust System

    DO NOT PAINT THE OUTDRIVE OR ALLOW THE OUTDRIVE TO COME IN CONTACT WITH ANTIFOULING PAINTS DESIGNED FOR BOAT HULLS. MANY OF THESE PAINTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE OUTDRIVE. CONTACT YOUR PURSUIT DEALER OR ENGINE MANUFACTURER FOR INFORMATION ON THE PROPER PAINTING PROCEDURES. 1.3 Engine Exhaust System Inboard/outboard engines use the exhaust system to relinquish exhaust gases and cooling water.
