Be extremely careful when operating in a following sea. The effect of trim tabs is amplified under
such conditions. Steering and handling difficulties can result from improper trim tab usage,
particularly in a following sea. Always raise the tabs to the full bow up position in these conditions.
When running at high speeds be sure that the tabs are in the full “UP” position. Only enough
trim plane action should be used to compensate for any listing. Trim tabs are extremely sensitive
at high speeds. Adjust for this and be prepared to slow down if difficulties arise.
When running into a chop, a slight bow down attitude will improve the ride. Be careful not to over
trim. Handling difficulties may result.
2.8 Control Systems Maintenance
Control Maintenance
Periodic inspection of the control systems and all connections should be made. Signs of rust,
corrosion, wear, or other deterioration should immediately be serviced. Generally, periodic
lubrication of all moving parts and connections with a light waterproof grease is in order.
Lubrication should be performed as often as necessary to keep the system operating smoothly.
Control system adjustments may become necessary. If adjustments become necessary, see your
Pursuit dealer.
DO NOT ATTEMPT CONTROL ADJUSTMENTS UNLESS YOU ARE FAMIL-
IAR WITH SERVICING CONTROL SYSTEM PROCEDURES. CONTROL MIS-
ADJUSTMENT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND SEVERE ENGINE OR
LOWER UNIT DAMAGE.
Steering System Maintenance
A periodic inspection of all steering hoses, linkage and helm assemblies should be made. Signs of
corrosion, cracking, loosening of fastenings, excessive wear, or deterioration should be immedi-
ately corrected. Failure to do so could lead to steering system failure that would result in loss of
control.
The fluid level for the hydraulic steering should be checked frequently and maintained at the proper
level. The steering fluid level at the vent/fill plug at the helm should be maintained at no less than
1/2" below the bottom of the filler cap threads. When new, or after repairs, hydraulic steering
systems may need to have all air purged from the system. Review the information provided by the
steering manufacturer for proper specifications and details on system service and maintenance.
