HELM CONTROL SYSTEMS
2.1 General
The helm controls consist of three systems: the engine throttle and shift controls, the steering
system, and the trim tab control switches. These systems provide the operator with the ability
to control the direction and attitude of the boat from the helm station.
Each manufacturer of the control components provides an owner’s manual with its product. It
is important that you read the manuals and become familiar with the proper care and operation
of the control systems.
2.2 Engine Throttle and Shift Controls
The shift and throttle controls on your boat may vary depending on
the engines used. The following control description is typical of
most outboard remote controls. Refer to the engine or control
manuals for specific information on the controls installed on your
Pursuit.
The engine throttle and shift control systems consist of three major
components: the control handles, the throttle cable and the shift
cable. The cables are all the push-pull type. Two cables are
required for each engine. One cable connects the remote throttle
control to the carburetor or fuel injectors and the other connects the
remote shift control to the engine shift rod linkage.
The helm on your Pursuit is designed for a binnacle style control with a single lever for each
engine that operates as a gear shift and a throttle. General operation will include a position for
neutral (straight up and down), a forward position (the 1st detent forward of neutral), and a
reverse position (the 1st detent aft of neutral). Advancing the control lever beyond the shift range
advances the throttle in forward or reverse. Each control is equipped with a means of permitting
the engine to be operated at a higher than idle RPM while in neutral for cold starting and warm-
up purposes.
The handles of dual lever controls may not always align with each other at all RPM settings due
to variations in control cable routing, cable length and adjustments at the engine. Usually the
alignment of the handles can be optimized at a chosen RPM, but may vary at other settings.
