HELM 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. 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.
The helm and engine controls are located on an opening helm station. The helm station is hinged at the bottom
and opens to provide access to service the helm equipment. To open the helm station, unscrew the knobs at
the top of the helm. A strap holds the helm in the open position and prevents it from opening too far. Always
make sure the helm station clamps are properly secured when the helm is closed.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE HELM STATION LATCHES ARE PROPERLY SECURED BE-
FORE OPERATING OR TRANSPORTING YOUR BOAT. IF THE HELM STATION IS NOT
PROPERLY SECURED, IT COULD OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY AND DAMAGE THE BOAT OR
CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE HELM BE OPENED WHEN THE ENGINE(S)
ARE RUNNING. IN SOME SITUATIONS IT IS POSSIBLE TO ACCIDENTALLY ENGAGE
THE ENGINE SHIFT INTO GEAR AND/OR ADVANCE THROTTLE CONTROLS AS THE
HELM IS OPENING. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL, DAMAGE TO THE
BOAT, AND INJURY TO PASSENGERS.
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 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.
