2.6 Engine Stop Switch
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD – ATTACH EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH LANYARD TO
OPERATOR.
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.
IF THE BOAT IS EQUIPPED WITH AN EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH, WEAR THE
LANYARD AT ALL TIMES WHEN OPERATING THE BOAT BUT USE IT TO STOP
ONLY IN AN EMERGENCY. DO NOT USE IT TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE DURING
NORMAL OPERATION.
Refer to the engine owner's manual for more information on the engine stop switch.
2.7 Automatic Fire Extinguisher System
This system protects the generator compartment in the case of fire. The helm
mounted display unit provides systems status - charged (visual), discharged
(visual and audible) - and an override switch to allow for engine restart. For
additional important information on this system, read the Automatic Fire
Extinguishing System section in the Safety Equipment chapter of this owner's
manual. Also read the automatic fire extinguisher owner's manual in the
generator compartment section of this binder.
2.8 Steering System
MANUAL HYDRAULIC 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.
POWER STEERING
The power steering system uses an electrically controlled hydraulic pump to provide power to the standard
hydraulic steering system. Additional components are a helm mounted power steering switch and a hydraulic
pump. The switch activates the power steering feature. Manual steering is always available regardless of the
switch position. Turning off the power steering at low speeds will reduce the sensitivity of the steering. To
