Trim Tab Indicator
The switches are labeled to indicate the
reaction of the bow of the boat when the trim
is adjusted, the L.E.D. displays indicate the
position of the trim tabs. When adjusting the
starboard bow UP or DOWN, the L.E.D. indi-
cator on the PORT (right) side of the panel
will illuminate indicating the movement of the
PORT tab.
Refer to the trim tab operation manual.
2.8 Compass
The compass is located at the helm. To
adjust the compass, read the instructions on
“Compass Compensation” included in the lit-
erature packet. The compass cannot be
adjusted accurately at the factory as it must
be compensated for the influence of the
electrical equipment and electronics unique
to your boat. The compass should be
adjusted by a professional after the electron-
ics and additional electrical accessories are
installed and before operating the boat.
DO NOT allow any iron or steel objects to be
placed in its vicinity - even temporarily. Refer
to the owner manual included in the Skipper
Kit for detailed information.
2.9 Control Systems
Maintenance
Control Maintenance
Periodic inspection of the control systems
and all connections should be made. Signs
of rust, corrosion, wear, or other deteriora-
tion must immediately be serviced. Periodic
lubrication of all moving parts and connec-
tions with light waterproof grease is
required.
Control system adjustments may become
necessary. If adjustments are necessary,
see your Pursuit Dealer.
Steering System Maintenance
Periodically inspect all steering hoses, link-
ages and helm assemblies. Signs of corro-
sion, cracking, loosening of fastenings,
excessive wear, or deterioration must be
corrected immediately. Check the hydraulic
steering fluid level frequently and maintain
the proper level. Periodic lubrication of all
moving parts and connections with light
waterproof grease is required. Failure to do
so can lead to steering system failure and
result in loss of control.
When new, or after repairs, hydraulic steer-
ing systems may need to be purged of air.
Refer to the information provided with the
steering system for specifications and ser-
vice information. Check steering operation
and visually inspect for loose or missing
hardware before operating the boat. If you
suspect the steering system is damaged,
see your Pursuit dealer. DO NOT operate
the boat if you suspect the steering system
is malfunctioning.
