adjusting the outboards further up for shallow water operation or trailering. For information on the proper
use and maintenance of the power tilt and trim, please refer to the engine owner’s manual.
THE ENGINE HOSES AND CABLES OR THE TRANSOM GEL COAT CAN BE DAMAGED
BY TILTING THE ENGINES TO THE FULL UP POSITION WITH THE ENGINES TURNED
TO THE WRONG POSITION. MOST TWIN ENGINE INSTALLATIONS WILL BENEFIT
FROM TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY ONE WAY OR THE OTHER BE-
FORE 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.
2.6 Engine Stop Switch
WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT THE LANYARD BE ATTACHED TO THE DRIVER
WHENEVER THE ENGINES ARE RUNNING.
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. 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.
WEAR THE LANYARD AT ALL TIMES WHILE OPERATING
YOUR BOAT. USE IT TO STOP ONLY IN AN EMERGENCY,
NOT TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE DURING NORMAL OP-
ERATION.
Refer to the engine owner's manual for more information on the engine stop switch.
2.7 Steering System
The steering system is hydraulic and made of two main components: the helm assembly and the hydraulic
cylinder. The helm unit acts as both a fluid reservoir and pump. Turning of the helm, or steering wheel, pumps
the fluid in the hydraulic hoses and activates the hydraulic cylinder causing the motors to turn. A slight clicking
sound may be heard as the wheel is turned. This sound is the opening and closing of valves in the helm unit
and is normal. Refer to the steering manufacturer owner’s manual for specific information on the steering
system.
Dual engine outboards are coupled at the tiller arms by a tie bar. The engines must be aligned with each other
to provide maximum stability on straight ahead runs and proper tracking through corners. Engine or steering
system damage may require the engines to be realigned.
