2.7 Engine Synchronizer (Optional)
Your boat may be equipped with an engine synchronizing system. When the system is on, the synchronizer
monitors the RPM of each engine and automatically keeps them at the same RPM. When the system is turned
off, the unit has no affect on the normal manual throttle operation.
Synchronizers vary in operation from different manufacturers, but generally, the system is activated and
deactivated by a switch at the helm. When the synchronizer is on, one master throttle will control the RPM
of both engines. Engine synchronizers require specific procedures for engagement and disengagement of the
system that must be performed in the proper sequence.
The engine synchronizer manufacturer provides an owner’s manual with its product. It is extremely
important that you read the manual and become familiar with the proper care and operation of the
synchronizer before using it with your boat.
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 SYSTEM ADJUSTMENTS UNLESS YOU ARE FAMILIAR
WITH SERVICING CONTROL SYSTEM PROCEDURES. CONTROL MISADJUSTMENT CAN
CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND SEVERE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION 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 corrected immediately. The fluid level for the
hydraulic steering should be checked frequently and main-
tained at the proper level. Generally, periodic lubrication of
all moving parts and connections with a light waterproof
grease is in order. Failure to do so could lead to steering
system failure that would result in loss of control.
When new, or after repairs, hydraulic steering systems may
need to have all air purged from the system. Review the
information provided by the steering manufacturer for
proper specifications and details on system service and
maintenance.
