regarding corrosion protection for the engine or outdrive, please refer to the
engine owner’s manual.
SOME OUTDRIVES REQUIRE SPECIAL ANODES FOR FRESHWATER AND A
DIFFERENT TYPE OF ANODE FOR SALTWATER. PLEASE CONTACT THE
ENGINE MANUFACTURER OR YOUR PURSUIT DEALER FOR THE PROPER
ANODE TO USE IN YOUR BOATING AREA.
DO NOT PAINT THE OUTDRIVE OR ALLOW THE OUTDRIVE TO COME IN
CONTACT WITH ANTIFOULING PAINTS DESIGNED FOR BOAT HULLS.
MANY OF THESE PAINTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE OUTDRIVE. CONTACT
YOUR PURSUIT DEALER OR ENGINE MANUFACTURER FOR INFORMATION ON THE
PROPER PAINTING PROCEDURES.
1.3 Engine Exhaust System
Inboard/outboard engines use the exhaust system to relinquish exhaust gases and cooling
water.
Engine exhaust exits the rear of the boat through the exhaust system. The system consists of
engine exhaust manifolds, exhaust hoses and the outdrive.
A periodic inspection of the coolant hoses, exhaust hoses and related parts should be made to
insure that leaks, heat deterioration or damage has not resulted. Replace them as necessary.
Refer to the engine owner's manual for more information on the exhaust system in your
Denali.
1.4 Engine Cooling System
All marine engines use surface water as a cooling medium. The cooling water enters the
system through a water intake in the outdrive and is expelled through the exhaust
system. Water is pumped through the water inlets, circulated through the engine
block or heat exchanger, and relinquished with the exhaust gases through the
outdrive. The water pump uses a small impeller made of synthetic rubber. The
impeller and water pump cannot run dry for more than a few seconds.
NEVER RUN THE MOTOR WITHOUT WATER FLOWING TO THE WATER PUMP. SERIOUS
DAMAGE TO THE WATER PUMP IMPELLER OR ENGINE COULD RESULT.
