Thank you for choosing a Pathfinder boat to transport you to
your angling dreams. We believe the Pathfinder 2600 HPS is the
best all-purpose boat on the market, and we're sure that you'll be
completely satisfied with the unmatched performance, quality and
fishability of your new boat.
We value your input, not just at the time of the sale, but
throughout the entire boat ownership period, and we've taken
steps to allow you to share that information. Over the next year or
so, you will receive at least two questionnaires to fill out and return.

Forum, where you can ask questions, get answers and join other
Pathfinder owners to discuss all applications of your boat. We're
proud to have you as a member of the Pathfinder family!
Tight lines and screaming drags!

  • Page 7: 2600 Hps Boat Layout

    BOAT LA YO UT 2600 HPS Boat Layout Your Pathfinder 2600 HPS is designed to create the maximum amount of storage capacity without affecting fishing ability. Livewells, gasketed and guttered storage compartments and lockers are built to protect your gear from the elements.
  • Page 8: Backing Plates

    Trolling Motor/Wiring System Your Pathfinder 2600 HPS comes standard with a 36V trolling motor wiring system. A trolling motor mounting plate was built into the bow of your Pathfinder during the manufacturing process. To attach a trolling motor, please go to your nearest Pathfinder dealer.
  • Page 10: Systems

    S Y S TEM S Ball Valves Ball valves can be used to serve several purposes. They allow seawater to enter the boat, in the case of livewells, and they also act as a safeguard to stop water from entering in case of part failure, and function as an emergency shutoff.
  • Page 11: Bilge System

    Bilge The bilge of your Pathfinder 2600 HPS should always be checked after launch. A small amount of water in the bilge is normal for this area of the boat. Large amounts of water or any signs of fuel or oil require immediate attention. Never pump fuel or oil overboard while your boat is in the water.
  • Page 12: Props

    J A C KP LA TE & P RO P S Props Prop selection on your Pathfinder 2600 HPS is determined by your local Pathfinder dealer but based on recommendations made by Pathfinder Boat Company and Yamaha Marine to give your boat the maximum overall performance. Different prop designs may improve performance or can be tailored to enhance specifics of boat and motor performance.
  • Page 13: Fuel System

    FUEL SYSTEM Your Pathfinder 2600 HPS comes with a 80-gallon aluminum fuel cell stationed midship between the stringers just below and in front of the console. The fuel fill receptacle is on the port gunwale forward of the console. There's also a recessed fuel overflow vent on the port side of the boat just below the fuel receptacle.
  • Page 14: Self Bailing Cockpit

    S ELF - B A ILIN G C O C KP IT & LIV EWELL Self Bailing Cockpit The cockpit on your Pathfinder 2600 HPS is designed to be self-bailing, so that all water that comes into the cockpit can immediately flush out the back of the boat. This avoids holding standing water and allows the boat to drain at all times, including while docked.
  • Page 15: 2600 Hps Wiring/Breaker System

    WIRIN G Wiring A wiring diagram of your Pathfinder 2600 HPS has been included to help troubleshoot any electrical problems or add additional electronics or electrical connections. We recommend you use a trained marine electrician for all electrical issues. Inside the console on the starboard side is the ground terminal and the breaker pannel is located in the glove box. All the grounds lead to the ground terminal and then to the battery via a large diameter black wire.

    S TA N D A RD F EA TURES Salt Water Washdown Salt-water washdown is standard on the 2600 HPS. The pump is located in the bilge forward of the livewell pump and is accessible through the splashwell hatch or the aft port hatch. To operate, hook a hose to the raw water receptacle in the aft section of the rod locker.
  • Page 18: Optional Power Pole

    O P TI O N A L F EA TU RES Power Poles Power Poles come as an option with the Pathfinder 2600 HPS and give the boat operator the ability to quickly and quietly stop the boat while in shallow water. Whether you want to enjoy a view, or you’ve stumbled upon a group of tailing redfish, the power pole will stop the boat quickly and easily.
  • Page 19: Optional Trim Tabs

    Trim Tabs Trim tabs are an optional item on the Pathfinder 2600 HPS. We use integrated 9 X 12-inch Lenco electric trim tabs which can enhance the boat’s performance. Because the tabs are electric, there is no hydraulic trim tab pump, thus eliminating the possibility for fluid leaks as with other trim tab manufacturers.
  • Page 20: Gauge Upgrades

    O P TI O N A L F EA TU RES Command Link Gauges Command Link gauges are an option for the 2600 HPS and are an upgrade from the standard digital gauges. Command Link gauges allow access to more information. Displays are user-selectable so you can choose the functions displayed on each gauge and what order.
  • Page 21: Warranty

    Warranty Your relationship with your local Pathfinder dealer should never end with the delivery of your new boat. Your local Pathfinder dealership is where you will take your boat for service and repair, as well as to address any warranty issues. Pathfinder is fortunate to have an outstanding dealer network selling and servicing our boats.
