Helm Systems
2.1 General
The helm controls consist of engine throttle
and shift controls, steering system, trim tab
control switches, optional spotlight and the
optional bow thruster controls.
Each manufacturer of the control compo-
nents provides an owner’s manual with its
product. It is important that you read, under-
stand and become familiar with the proper
care and operation of all control systems.
2.2 Helm Access
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, slide the seat back to its furthest aft
position and tilt the steering wheel to the full
upright position and open the two latches
securing the helm in place. A strap holds the
helm in the open position. To secure the
helm back in place, close the helm and
secure the two latches. The helm station
must be secured before operating or trans-
porting your boat. Injury or damage can
occur if the helm is left unsecured. Do not
open the helm station with engines running;
accidental engagement of shift and throttle
levers can occur.
2.3 Engine Throttle and Shift
Controls
The shift and throttle controls on your boat
may vary depending on the engines. The fol-
lowing control description is typical to most
outboard remote controls. Refer to the
engine or control manuals for specific infor-
mation on the controls installed on your Pur-
suit.
The helm on your Pursuit is designed for a
binnacle style control with a single gear shift
and a throttle lever for each engine; a posi-
tion for neutral (straight up and down), for-
ward position (first detent forward of neutral)
and reverse position (the first detent aft of
neutral). Advancing the control lever beyond
the shift range will advance throttle, forward
or reverse. Each control is equipped to allow
the engine to be operated above idle RPM
while in neutral for cold starting or warming
up.
The handles of dual lever controls may not
always align with each other at all RPM set-
tings because of variations in adjustments at
the engine. Usually the alignment of the han-
dles can be optimized at a chosen RPM, but
may vary at other settings.
See your Pursuit dealer for necessary con-
trol adjustments. If the starter for either
engine engages with the shift controls in any
position other than neutral, the neutral safety
switch is not functioning properly and must
be repaired before using your boat.

WARNING
LOSS OF CONTROL AND
UNSAFE BOAT HAZARD
Hazard from improper securing of
helm is hazardous and can cause
death or serious injury from sudden
loss of control. Make sure the helm is
secure before getting underway and
during transporting the boat.
!
CAUTION
Avoid possible injury or engine
damage when shifting:
Pause in neutral before shifting from
FORWARD to REVERSE, or REVERSE
to NEUTRAL.
• DO NOT shift into reverse while
the boat is traveling forward at
speed.
• Keep area around shifter control
clear of obstructions.
