  • Page 17: Propulsion System

    Chapter 1: PROPULSION SYSTEM 1.1 General The Pursuit 2470 Walkaround is designed to be powered with single or twin 2-cycle or 4-cycle outboard motors. 4-cycle outboard engines do not use an oil injection system and are not equipped with remote oil tanks.

  • Page 18: Corrosion

    DO NOT PAINT THE OUTBOARD MOTORS WITH ANTIFOULING PAINTS DESIGNED FOR BOAT HULLS. MANY OF THESE PAINTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINES. CONTACT YOUR PURSUIT DEALER OR ENGINE MANUFACTURER FOR INFORMATION ON THE PROPER PAINTING PROCEDURES. 1.3 Engine Lubrication 2-cycle outboard motors are lubricated by a variable ratio oil injection system.

  • Page 19: 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 20: 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. Instrument Panel Tachometer The tachometer displays the speed of the engine(s) in revolutions per minute (RPM) This speed is not the boat speed nor necessarily the speed of the propeller.

  • Page 22 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 WALKAROUND...

  • Page 23: Chapter 2: Helm Control Systems

    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).
