  • Page 17: Propulsion System

    Chapter 1: PROPULSION SYSTEM 1.1 General The Pursuit 2870 Center Console is designed to be powered with twin 2-cycle or 4-cycle outboard motors. Each manufacturer of the various outboard motors provides an owner’s information manual, which includes its limited warranty statement with its product. It is important that you read the information very carefully and become familiar with this warranty and proper care and operation of the engine.

  • Page 18: Engine Lubrication

    DO NOT PAINT THE OUTBOARD MOTORS WITH ANTIFOULING PAINTS DESIGNED FOR BOAT HULLS. MANY OF THESE PAINTS CAN CAUSE SE- VERE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINES. CONTACT YOUR PURSUIT DEALER OR ENGINE MANUFACTURER FOR INFORMATION ON THE PROPER PAINTING PROCEDURES.

  • Page 19: Propellers

    The propellers convert the engine’s power into thrust. They come in a variety of styles, diameters and pitches. The one that will best suit the needs of your Pursuit will depend somewhat on your application and expected average load. Propeller sizes are identified by two numbers stamped on the prop in sequence.
  • Page 20 Most outboards are equipped with an audible alarm system mounted in the helm area that monitors selected critical engine systems. The alarm will sound if one of these systems begins to fail. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for information on the alarms installed with your engines. 2870 Center Console...
  • Page 21 The ignition switches should be sprayed periodically with a contact cleaner/lubricant. The ignition switches and all instruments, controls, etc. should be protected from the weather when not in use. Excessive exposure can lead to gauge and ignition switch difficulties. 2870 Center Console...

  • Page 23: Chapter 2: Helm Control Systems

    Controls 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).

    The trim tab fluid should be checked often. Keep the fluid level between the marks on the trim tab pump reservoir. If your Pursuit will be left in saltwater for extended periods it will be necessary to monitor the zinc anodes on the trim tab planes. The anodes were installed at the factory to prevent galvanic corrosion and will need to be changed when they are 75% of their original size.

  • Page 29: Chapter 3: Fuel System

    FUEL SYSTEM 3.1 General The gasoline fuel system used in Pursuit boats is designed to meet or exceed the requirements of the U.S. Coast Guard, the National Marine Manufacturing Association (NMMA), and the American Boat and Yacht Council in effect at the time of manufacture.

  • Page 30: Outboard Fuel System

    Residual fuel left on the deck and hull sides can be dangerous, and will yellow the fiberglass or damage the striping. 3.2 Outboard Fuel System The fuel system on the Pursuit 2870 has two fuel tanks and four manual “ON/OFF” fuel valves that are labeled to indicate the engine the valve will supply.
  • Page 31 Note: Some fuel injected engines have fuel filters on the engine and do not allow external fuel filters. If your boat is equipped with fuel injected engines, it may not have a separate water separator fuel filter. 2870 Center Console...

  • Page 33: Oil Tanks

    Certain boats are equipped with remote oil tanks that are equipped with deck fills. Pursuit provides, adjacent to the oil fill, an oil tank indicator system to assist in preventing an overfill of the oil tank. A light on the oil tank will turn on when the selected tank is full.

  • Page 34: Fuel System Maintenance

    DO NOT DRAIN ANY FUEL INTO THE BILGE. THIS COULD LEAD TO A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. AFTER THE FILTER ELEMENTS HAVE BEEN CHANGED, PRIME THE FUEL SYSTEM AND CHECK ALL FITTINGS FOR LEAKS BEFORE AND AFTER STARTING THE ENGINES. 2870 Center Console...

  • Page 35: Chapter 4: Electrical System

    ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 4.1 General Your Pursuit is equipped with a 12-volt DC electrical system and may be equipped with the optional AC system. The AC system draws current from shore power outlets at dockside. The DC system draws current from two on-board batteries.

  • Page 37 These switches are supplied to protect additional equipment that may or may not have been installed by Pursuit or your Pursuit dealer. If no accessories are activated by these switches, they remain wired in the panel in reserve. Some accessories that may be connected to the accessory switches are: spreader lights, rod locker lights or electronics.
  • Page 38 Additional switch panels are located in various locations in the cockpit and helm area of the boat. Most of these panels are equipped with one switch and one circuit breaker. The following are descriptions of additional panels that may be on your Pursuit and the accessories they control: Livewell Switch Located under the gunwale in the cockpit near the livewell.

    The raw water washdown system is equipped with a sea strainer on the intake side of the pump located in the bilge behind the stern access hatch. This should be checked frequently and cleaned as necessary. 2870 Center Console...

  • Page 50: Livewell

    When the livewell has completely drained, use the washdown hose to flush the livewell and drain debris. The livewell supply thru-hull valve should be closed whenever the livewell is not in use. This will prevent water from entering the livewell while the boat is cruising. 2870 Center Console...

  • Page 53: Chapter 7: Drainage Systems

    7.2 Cockpit Drains Your Pursuit has two scupper drains located in the rear of the cockpit. Water is channeled away from all opening hatches by a gutter or drain rail system. The water then drains overboard through the drain system.

  • Page 54: Fishboxes, Coolers And Storage Compartment Drains

    The fishbox located below the cockpit sole is pumped overboard by a macerator discharge pump activated by a momentary switch in the cockpit. The fishbox should be pumped out and cleaned after each use. Always turn the pump off after the fishbox is drained. 2870 Center Console...

  • Page 55: Water System Drains

    Clean and flush the fishbox and cooler storage boxes with soap or a bilge cleaner and fresh water after each use to keep them clean and fresh. Note: All drains and pumps must be properly winterized before winter lay-up. 2870 Center Console...
