  • Page 19: Chapter 1: Propulsion System

    PROPULSION SYSTEM 1.1 General The Pursuit 2470 Walkaround is designed to be powered with either a single outboard engine or twin outboard engines. Outboard motors use an oil injection system. Oil is automatically injected in the engine(s) and mixed at the proper ratio from oil tank(s) located in the stern of the boat.

  • Page 20: Drive Systems

    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 Your outboard motor is lubricated by a variable ratio oil injection system.

  • 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 25: 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 detente forward of neutral), and a reverse position (the 1st detente aft of neutral).
