DO NOT INHALE EXHAUST FUMES! EXHAUST CONTAINS CARBON MONOXIDE
THAT IS COLORLESS AND ODORLESS. CARBON MONOXIDE IS A DANGEROUS
GAS THAT IS POTENTIALLY LETHAL.
1.2 Corrosion
Each outboard motor is a complete drive system with the gear case being just 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 of time. Then the main concerns are marine
growth and galvanic corrosion.
Marine growth occurs 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 boating area. Water temperature,
pollution, current, etc. can have an effect on marine growth.
Galvanic corrosion is the corrosion process occurring when different metals are submerged in
an electrolyte. Sea water is an electrolyte and submerged engine components must be properly
protected. Outboard motors are equipped with sacrificial zinc anodes to prevent galvanic
corrosion problems. The zinc anodes must be monitored and replaced as necessary. For locations
and maintenance, please refer to the engine owner’s manual.
When leaving the boat in the water, tilt the motors as high as possible. This will decrease the
risk of marine growth around the cooling inlets, propeller and exhaust ports and damage from
galvanic corrosion.
DO NOT PAINT THE OUTBOARD MOTORS WITH ANTIFOULING PAINTS DE-
SIGNED FOR BOAT HULLS. MANY OF THESE PAINTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAM-
AGE TO THE ENGINES. CONTACT YOUR PURSUIT DEALER OR ENGINE MANU-
FACTURER FOR INFORMATION ON THE PROPER PAINTING PROCEDURES.
1.3 Engine Lubrication
2-cycle outboard motors are lubricated by a variable ratio oil injection system. The oil tanks are
mounted below the stern bait station near the transom. Always monitor the oil level before each
cruise by checking the gauge in the helm or visually checking the oil level using the reference
marks on the tanks. When additional oil is needed, use only the type of oil specified by the engine
manufacturer. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for oil specifications and additional
information on the oil injection system.
