• If necessary, shut off the engines and investigate until the cause of the problem is found.
• If the boat is equipped with water sensors in the fuel filters, be sure to check them for
excessive water.
11.3 Neutral Safety Switch
Every control system has a neutral safety switch incorporated into it. This device prohibits the
engines from being started while the shift lever is in any position other than the neutral position
and should be inspected and tested periodically to ensure the switch is working. If the engines
will not start, slight movement of the shift levers may be necessary to locate the neutral position
and disengage the safety cutout 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. Please refer to the Helm Control Systems chapter for more information on the
neutral safety switch.
11.4 Engine Stop Switch
Your Pursuit is equipped with a 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 and
the stop switch whenever the engines are running. If the engines will not
start, it could be because the lanyard is not properly inserted into the
engine stop switch. Always make sure the lanyard is properly attached
to the engine stop switch before attempting to start the engine.
Note: You should carry an extra stop switch lanyard and instruct at least one other crew
member on the operation of the stop switch and location of the extra lanyard.
11.5 Required Safety Equipment
Besides the equipment installed on your boat by Pursuit, certain other equipment is required by
the U.S. Coast Guard to help ensure passenger safety. Items like a sea anchor, working anchor,
extra dock lines, flare pistol, life vests, a line permanently secured to your ring buoy, etc., could
at some time save your passengers’ lives, or save your boat from damage. Refer to the “Federal
Requirements And Safety Tips For Recreational Boats” pamphlet for a more detailed description
of the required equipment. You can also contact the U.S. Coast Guard Boating Safety Hotline,
800-368-5647 or the “Boat U.S. Foundation Course Hotline,” 1-800-336-2628 and 800-245-
