2870 WALKAROUND
DO NOT INHALE EXHAUST FUMES! EXHAUST CONTAINS CARBON MONOXIDE THAT IS
COLORLESS AND ODORLESS. CARBON MONOXIDE IS A DANGEROUS GAS THAT IS PO-
TENTIALLY LETHAL.
1.2 Drive System
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 anodes to prevent galvanic corrosion
problems. The 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 motor 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 DESIGNED FOR
BOAT HULLS. MANY OF THESE PAINTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE EN-
GINES. CONTACT YOUR PURSUIT DEALER OR ENGINE MANUFACTURER FOR INFOR-
MATION ON THE PROPER PAINTING PROCEDURES.
1.3 Engine Lubrication
Your outboard motors are lubricated by a variable ratio oil
injection system. The oil tanks are mounted below the hatch in
the center of the bridge deck. 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.
