the throttles so that the engines are running the same RPM (synchronized) can be done by
listening to the engine sounds, or with an engine synchronizer. Attempting to synchronize the
engines solely by using the tachometer readings or control lever placement generally will not
work. When the engines are in proper synchronization, the throttle levers may not necessarily
be even. Please refer to the engine or control manual for more information on the controls
installed on your boat.
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.
2.3 Engine Synchronizer (Optional)
Your boat could be equipped with an engine synchronizing system. When the system is on, the
synchronizer monitors the RPM of each engine and automatically keeps them at the same RPM.
When the system is turned off, the unit has no affect on the normal manual throttle operation.
Synchronizers vary in operation from different manufacturers, but generally, the system is
activated and deactivated by a switch at the helm. When the synchronizer is on, one master
throttle will control the RPM of both engines. Engine synchronizers require specific procedures
for engagement and disengagement of the system that must be performed in the proper sequence.
The engine synchronizer manufacturer provides an owner’s manual with its product. It
is extremely important that you read the manual and become familiar with the proper care
and operation of the synchronizer before using it with your boat.
2.4 Neutral Safety Switch
Every control system has a neutral safety switch. This device prohibits the engine from being
started while the shift lever is in any position other than the neutral position. If the engine will
not start, slight movement of the shift lever may be necessary to locate the neutral position and
disengage the safety cutout switch. Control or cable adjustments may be required to correct this
condition, should it persist. See your Pursuit dealer for necessary control and cable adjustments.
The neutral safety switch should be tested periodically to ensure that it is operating properly. To
test the neutral safety switch, move the shift levers to the forward position with the engines off.
Make sure the throttle levers are set to the idle position. Activate the starter switch for each
engine just long enough to briefly engage the starter. Do not hold the starter switch in the start
position long enough to start the engine. The starter should not engage for either engine. Repeat
this test with the shift levers in reverse and the engine throttles at idle. Again the starter should
not engage for either engine. If the starter for either engine engages with the shift controls in
