2260 DENALI
After depressing a trim tab switch, always wait a few seconds for the change in trim plane to take
effect. Avoid depressing the switch while awaiting the trim plane reaction. By the time the
effect is noticeable the trim tab will have moved too far and thus the boat will be in an
overcompensated position.
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.
Be extremely careful when operating in a following sea. The effect of trim tabs is amplified under
such conditions. Steering and handling difficulties can result from improper trim tab usage,
particularly in a following sea. Always raise the tabs to the full bow up position in these conditions.
When running at high speeds be sure that the tabs are in the full UP position. Only enough
trim plane action should be used to compensate for any listing. Trim tabs are extremely sensitive
at high speeds. Adjust for this and be prepared to slow down if difficulties arise.
When running into a chop, a slight bow down attitude will improve the ride. Be careful not to over
trim. Handling difficulties may result.
2.8 Control Systems Maintenance
Control Maintenance
Periodic inspection of the control systems and all connections should be made. Signs of rust,
corrosion, wear, or other deterioration should be serviced immediately. Generally, periodic
lubrication of all moving parts and connections with a light waterproof grease is in order.
Lubrication should be performed as often as necessary to keep the system operating smoothly.
Control system adjustments may become necessary. If adjustment becomes necessary, see your
Pursuit dealer.
DO NOT ATTEMPT CONTROL ADJUSTMENTS UNLESS YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH SER-
VICING CONTROL SYSTEM PROCEDURES. CONTROL MISADJUSTMENT CAN CAUSE LOSS
OF CONTROL AND SEVERE ENGINE OR OUTDRIVE DAMAGE.
Steering System Maintenance
A periodic inspection of all steering hoses, linkage and helm assemblies should be made. Signs of
corrosion, cracking, loosening of fastenings, excessive wear, or deterioration should be immedi-
ately corrected. Failure to do so could lead to steering system failure that would result in loss of
control.
