  • Page 17: Chapter 1: Propulsion System

    PROPULSION SYSTEM 1.1 General The Pursuit 2270 Center Console is designed to be powered with a 2 cycle outboard motor. All outboard motors used on your Pursuit use an oil injection system. Oil is automatically injected in the engine and mixed at the proper ratio from an oil tank located in the stern of the boat.
  • Page 18: Drive Systems

    DO NOT PAINT THE OUTBOARD MOTOR WITH ANTIFOULING PAINTS DESIGNED FOR BOAT HULLS. MANY OF THESE PAINTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE EN- GINE. CONTACT YOUR PURSUIT DEALER OR ENGINE MANUFACTURER FOR INFOR- MATION ON THE PROPER PAINTING PROCEDURES.
  • Page 19: Engine Cooling System

    The propeller converts the engine’s power into thrust. Propellers 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 instrumen- tation is unique to the type of outboard motors installed on your Pursuit. Some or all of the following gauges may be present.
  • Page 21 Therefore, the compass should be adjusted by a professional after the electronics and additional Compass electrical accessories are installed and before operating the boat. 2270 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. 2270 CENTER CONSOLE...
  • Page 23: Chapter 2: Helm Control Systems

    The helm on your Pursuit is designed for a binnacle style control with a single lever 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 detente forward of neutral), and a reverse position (the 1st detente aft of neutral).
  • Page 24: Neutral Safety 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. The neutral safety switch should be tested periodically to insure that it is operating properly. To test the neutral safety switch, make sure the outdrive is tilted down and move the shift lever to the forward position.

    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. 2270 CENTER CONSOLE...
  • Page 28 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 are installed at the factory as part of the trim tab option 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 Boating Industry Association, and The American Boat and Yacht Council in effect at the time of manufacture.
  • Page 30 After fueling, replace the fill cap and wash the areas around the fuel fill deck plate and below the fuel vent. Residual fuel left on the deck and hull sides can be dangerous and will yellow the fiberglass or damage the striping. 2270 CENTER CONSOLE...
  • Page 31: Outboard Fuel System

    3.2 Outboard Fuel System The fuel system on the Pursuit 2270 Center Console has one fuel tank. The fuel tank is mounted in the center of the bilge and has one withdrawal line equipped with an anti-syphon valve where the fuel line attaches to the fuel tank. This valve prevents gasoline from syphoning out of the fuel tank should a line rupture.
  • Page 32: Fueling Instructions

    LINE. DO NOT USE A FUEL THAT CONTAINS HARSH ADDITIVES OR IS AN ALCOHOL BLEND. ANY DAMAGE DONE TO THE FUEL SYSTEM THAT IS THE RESULT OF USE OF AN ALCOHOL BLEND, IS NOT COVERED BY THE PURSUIT WARRANTY. REFER TO THE ENGINE MANUFACTURER OWNER’S MANUAL REGARDING FUEL REQUIRE- MENTS FOR YOUR ENGINE.

  • Page 34 DO NOT DRAIN ANY FUEL INTO THE BILGE. THIS COULD LEAD TO A FIRE OR EX- PLOSION. AFTER THE FILTER ELEMENT HAS BEEN CHANGED, PRIME THE FUEL SYSTEM AND CHECK ALL FITTINGS FOR LEAKS BEFORE AND AFTER STARTING THE ENGINES. 2270 CENTER CONSOLE...
  • Page 35: Chapter 4: Electrical System

    Chapter 4: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 4.1 General Your Pursuit is equipped with a 12-volt D.C. electrical system that draws current from onboard batteries. The 12-volt batteries in your boat are usually the lead-acid type. They will require maintenance similar to those found in automobiles. The batteries and battery switch are located in the console.
  • Page 36 Note: The bilge pump will start automatically when there is sufficient water in the bilge to activate the float switch. The float switch is protected by a 10-amp circuit breaker located near the battery selector switch and is always supplied current when the batteries are connected. 2270 CENTER CONSOLE...
  • Page 37 Additional switch panels may be 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 is a description of additional panels that may be on your Pursuit and the accessories they control: Livewell Switch This switch activates the baitwell circulating pump that supplies water to the baitwell.
