Propulsion Systems
1.1 General
Your Pursuit boat is designed to be powered
with a 4-cycle outboard engine.
Each manufacturer of the various outboard
engines provides an owner’s information
manual which includes its limited warranty
statement with its product. It is important you
read and understand the information and
become familiar with the warranty, operation
and maintenance of the engines and drive
systems.
1.2 Saltwater Application
Each outboard engine is a complete drive
system with the gear case (transmission)
forward of the propeller and connected to
the power head with a vertical drive shaft.
Other than the routine maintenance outlined
in the engine owner’s manual, there is little
to be concerned with unless the boat is to be
kept in saltwater for extended periods.
Marine growth will occur when components
are left in the water for extended periods and
can cause poor performance or permanent
damage to the exposed components. The
type of growth and how quickly it occurs is
relative to the water conditions in your boat-
ing area. Water temperature, pollution, cur-
rent, etc. can have an effect on marine
growth.
NOTICE
DO NOT attempt to service any part
of the outboard or boat systems
unless you are familiar and qualified
to do so. Do not use parts which are
not designed for a marine applica-
tion.

WARNING
MOVING PARTS HAZARD
Contact with moving parts can entan-
gle, cut and cause death or serious
injury. DO NOT get close enough to
make contact with any running
machinery moving parts, i.e., engine
or propeller. Contact can result in
loss of body parts, strangulation,
burns and/or severe loss of blood
resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
Use only the fuel recommended by
the engine manufacturer. Use of old,
contaminated fuel can cause the
engine to malfunction or severe dam-
age.
NOTICE
DO NOT use copper-based coatings
or any coatings not approved for use
with aluminum. Some paint manufac-
turers claim their paints are safe for
aluminum. Copper components and
copper-based paints can cause
severe corrosion to aluminum. DO
NOT use copper-based paints. Mer-
cury or mercury-based compounds
that come into contact with aluminum
will result in severe corrosion.
