3070 OFFSHORE
THE ENGINE HOSES AND CABLES OR THE TRANSOM GEL COAT CAN BE DAM-
AGED BY TILTING THE ENGINES TO THE FULL UP POSITION WITH THE EN-
GINES TURNED TO THE WRONG POSITION. MOST TWIN ENGINE AND SINGLE
ENGINE BOATS REQUIRE THE STEERING WHEEL TO BE TURNED COMPLETELY
TO STARBOARD BEFORE TILTING THE ENGINES TO THE FULL UP POSITION.
YOU SHOULD MONITOR THE ENGINES AS THEY TILT TO DETERMINE BEST
FULL TILT ENGINE POSITION FOR YOUR BOAT.
SOME AUTOPILOTS HAVE ENGINE POSITION SENSORS THAT ARE MOUNTED TO
THE HYDRAULIC STEERING CYLINDER. WITH THESE AUTOPILOTS, THE EN-
GINE POSITION SENSOR BRACKET COULD HIT THE TRANSOM WHEN THE EN-
GINES ARE TILTED TO THE FULL UP POSITION AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
ENGINE RIGGING, THE AUTOPILOT OR THE TRANSOM. IF YOU HAVE AN AU-
TOPILOT INSTALLED ON YOUR BOAT, YOU SHOULD MONITOR THE LOCATION
OF THE ENGINE CABLES AND AUTOPILOT BRACKETS AS THE ENGINES ARE
TILTED TO DETERMINE THE BEST ENGINE POSITION AND MAXIMUM ENGINE
TILT FOR YOUR APPLICATION.
2.5 Engine Stop Switch
Your Pursuit is equipped with an 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
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.
Refer to the engine owner's manual for more information on the engine
stop switch.
