Page 17: Chapter 1: Propulsion System
Chapter 1: PROPULSION SYSTEM 1.1 General The Pursuit 3070 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 with its product. It is important that you read the manual(s) very carefully and become familiar with the proper care and operation of the engine and drive system.
Page 18: Drive System Corrosion
DO NOT PAINT THE OUTBOARD MOTORS WITH ANTIFOULING PAINTS DE- SIGNED FOR BOAT HULLS. MANY OF THESE PAINTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAM- AGE TO THE ENGINES. CONTACT YOUR PURSUIT DEALER OR ENGINE MANU- FACTURER FOR INFORMATION ON THE PROPER PAINTING PROCEDURES.
Page 19: Engine Cooling System
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: Engine Instrumentation
The instru- mentation is unique to the type of outboard motors installed on your Pursuit. Some or all of the following gauges may be present. Helm Tachometer The tachometer displays the speed of the engine in revolutions per minute (RPM).
Page 21 Depth Gauge The depth gauge indicates the depth of the water below the bottom of the boat. 3070 CENTER CONSOLE...
Page 22 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. 3070 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).
Page 24: Neutral Safety Switch
If the engine will not start, slight movement of the shift lever may be necessary to locate the neutral position and disengage the safety cutout switch. Control or cable adjustments may be required to correct this condition should it persist. See your Pursuit dealer for necessary control and cable adjustments.
Page 25: Engine Stop Switch
TILT FOR YOUR APPLICATION. 2.5 Engine Stop Switch Your Pursuit is equipped with an engine stop switch and lanyard. When the lanyard is pulled it will engage the switch and shut off the engines. We strongly recommend that the lanyard be attached to the driver whenever the engines are running.
Page 26: Steering System
When running at a speed that will result in the boat falling off plane, lowering the tabs slightly, bow down, will improve the running angle and operating efficiency. Too much bow down tabs can reduce operating efficiency and cause substantial steering and handling difficulties. 3070 CENTER CONSOLE...
