Page 19: Propulsion System
PROPULSION SYSTEM 1.1 General The Pursuit 3070 Offshore 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 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 20: Engine Lubrication
DO NOT PAINT THE OUTBOARD MOTORS WITH ANTIFOULING PAINTS DESIGNED FOR BOAT HULLS. MANY OF THESE PAINTS CAN CAUSE SE- VERE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINES. CONTACT YOUR PURSUIT DEALER OR ENGINE MANUFACTURER FOR INFORMATION 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 instrumentation is unique to the type of outboard motors installed on your Pursuit. Some or all of the following gauges may be present. Tachometer The tachometer displays the speed of the engine in revolutions per minute (RPM).
Page 23 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. 3070 OFFSHORE...
Page 24 THIS PAGE WAS LEFT BLANK INTENTIONALLY 3070 OFFSHORE...
Page 25: Helm Control Systems
Controls 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 detent forward of neutral), and a reverse position (the 1st detent aft of neutral).
Page 26: Neutral Safety 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: Engine Stop Switch
YOUR APPLICATION. 2.5 Engine Stop Switch Your Pursuit is equipped with an engine stop switch and lanyard. When the lanyard is pulled it will engage the switch and shut off the engines. We strongly recommend that the lanyard be attached to the driver whenever the engines are running.
Page 28: Steering System
When running at a speed that will result in the boat falling off plane, lowering the tabs slightly, bow down, will improve the running angle and operating efficiency. Too much bow down tabs can reduce operating efficiency and cause substantial steering and handling difficulties. 3070 OFFSHORE...

FUEL SYSTEM 3.1 General The 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 TER OR WASTE TANK, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUMP IT OUT YOURSELF. WATER AND WASTE PUMPS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO PUMP FUEL AND A FIRE OR EXPLOSION COULD RESULT. CONTACT YOUR DEALER OR THE PURSUIT CUSTOMER RELATIONS DEPARTMENT FOR ASSISTANCE IN HAVING THE FUEL PROFESSIONALLY REMOVED. Fuel Vents There are two fuel vent fittings for the gasoline fuel tanks, one on each side of the hull.
Page 33: Outboard Fuel System
3.2 Outboard Fuel System The outboard fuel system on the Pursuit 3070 Offshore has two fuel tanks and four manual “ON/ OFF” fuel valves that are labeled to indicate the engine the valve will supply. The fuel valves are located on the top of the fuel tanks below the inspection plates in the rear of the cockpit. The valves are off when the handle is perpendicular to the fuel flow.
Page 34: Generator Fuel System
A water separator type fuel filter is installed near the generator. The fuel filter has a sediment bowl that should be checked for water frequently to assure an adequate supply of clean, dry fuel to the engine. The filter should be inspected periodically and the element changed as needed. 3070 OFFSHORE...

Page 36: Oil Tanks
The remote oil tanks are equipped with deck fills located just inside of the transom door. Pursuit provides, adjacent to the oil fill, an oil tank indicator system to assist in preventing an overfill of the oil tank. A light on the oil tank will turn on when the selected tank is full.
Page 37: Fuel System Maintenance
DO NOT DRAIN ANY FUEL INTO THE BILGE. THIS COULD LEAD TO A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. AFTER THE FILTER ELEMENT HAS BEEN CHANGED, PRIME THE FUEL SYSTEM AND CHECK ALL FITTINGS FOR LEAKS BEFORE AND AFTER STARTING THE ENGINES. 3070 OFFSHORE...

Page 52 The engine maintenance required on the generator is similar in many ways to primary inboard engines. The most important factors to the generator's longevity are proper ventilation, mainte- nance of the fuel system, ignition system, cooling system, lubrication system and the AC alternator. 3070 OFFSHORE...

DO NOT MODIFY OR CHANGE THE SHORE WATER INLET CONNECTOR WITH ANOTHER TYPE WITHOUT CONSULTING PURSUIT CUSTOMER RE- LATIONS OR YOUR DEALER. THE USE OF THE WRONG TYPE OF IN- LET CONNECTOR CAN DAMAGE THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM. 5.5 Shower Operation The head sink faucet is also the shower spray head.
Page 58 THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM MUST BE PROPERLY WINTERIZED PRIOR TO WINTER LAY-UP. SEE THE SECTION ON WINTERIZING. THE FRESH WATER BREAKER SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE “OFF” PO- SITION WHENEVER LEAVING THE BOAT UNATTENDED OR WHEN THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM IS NOT IN USE. 3070 OFFSHORE...
