USE ONLY CLEAN, DRY FUEL OF THE TYPE AND GRADE RECOMMENDED BY THE EN-
GINE MANUFACTURER. THE USE OF INCORRECT OR CONTAMINATED FUEL CAN
CAUSE ENGINE MALFUNCTION AND SERIOUS DAMAGE.
1.2 Drive Systems
The inboard engine is mounted in the stern and
coupled to a transom mounted outdrive which does
all shifting, steering, and propulsion functions. The
outdrive is supplied by the engine manufacturer and
has specific lubrication and maintenance require-
ments.
Proper engine alignment is very important. This was
done by the factory when the engine was installed
and should be checked at the 20 hour check and
annually thereafter. If you experience excessive
vibrations or suspect that the engine is out of align-
ment, please contact your Pursuit dealer.
ALWAYS RETURN THE ENGINE THROTTLE LEVER TO THE EXTREME LOW SPEED PO-
SITION BEFORE SHIFTING. NEVER SHIFT THE UNIT WHILE ENGINE SPEED IS ABOVE
IDLE RPM.
Marine growth and Galvanic corrosion is a concern if the boat is to be kept in saltwater. 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. If the boat is to be left in saltwater,
the hull and outdrive must be protected with antifouling paint. It is extremely important that the
proper antifouling paint is used on each component. Contact your Pursuit dealer for information
on the proper paint to use in your area.
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. Outdrives are equipped with sacrificial zinc anodes to prevent galvanic corrosion
problems. The zinc anodes must be monitored and replaced as necessary.
On some outdrives, the zinc anode may not provide an acceptable level of protection when a drive
is used in freshwater and a magnesium anode must be used. This condition is worsened with the
installation of the optional stainless steel propellers. A magnesium anode, when used for combined
operation in both fresh/saltwater, or water with a low salt content, will be used quicker and must
