  • Page 19: Propulsion System

    PROPULSION SYSTEM 1.1 General The 2665 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 very carefully and become familiar with the proper care and operation of the engine and drive system.
  • Page 20: 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 21: Engine Exhaust System

    SOME OUTDRIVES REQUIRE SPECIAL ANODES FOR FRESHWATER AND A DIFFERENT TYPE OF ANODE FOR SALTWATER. PLEASE CONTACT THE ENGINE MANUFACTURER OR YOUR PURSUIT DEALER FOR THE PROPER ANODE TO USE IN YOUR BOATING AREA. DO NOT PAINT THE OUTDRIVE OR ALLOW THE OUTDRIVE TO COME IN CON- TACT WITH ANTIFOULING PAINTS DESIGNED FOR BOAT HULLS.
