WARNING
!
LOSS OF CONTROL AND UNSAFE
BOAT HAZARD
An engine stop switch system that
does not function properly or is not
used can cause death or serious
injury. DO NOT operate the boat if the
emergency stop switch system does
not function properly.
Attach the engine stop switch lanyard to a
strong piece of clothing on the operator. The
engines will not start if the clip is not inserted
into the stop switch. Make sure the lanyard is
properly attached to the engine stop switch
before attempting to start the engine.
DO NOT use the switch to stop the boat
under normal operation. Test the switch peri-
odically. If the switch is not operating properly,
DO NOT use the boat. Contact your Pursuit
dealer and have it repaired.
Refer to the engine stop switch information in
section 9.4 Safety Equipment, and the engine
owner’s manual for more information on the
engine stop switch.
2.7 Automatic Fire Suppression
System
This system protects the generator compart-
ment in the case of fire. The helm-mounted
display provides systems status—charged
(visual) or discharged (visual and audible)—
and an override switch to allow engine restart.

After the fire suppression system discharges,
operate the generator blower and reset the
system by engaging the override switch. Run
the blower for five minutes before opening
the generator compartment to evacuate the
fire suppression agent.
For additional important information, see sec-
tion 9, Safety Equipment, and the automatic
fire extinguisher owner’s manual.
2.8 Steering System
The steering system is electric and made
of two main components: the helm assem-
bly and the engine mounted electric actua-
tors. Turning the steering wheel activates a
signal to the powered engine actuators to
turn the motors. In a system with Helm Mas-
ter installed, the engines steer and tilt inde-
pendently of each other. Refer to the engine
system owner’s manual for more information.
The outboards must be aligned with each
other to provide maximum stability on straight-
ahead runs and proper tracking through cor-
