Page 17: Chapter 1: Propulsion System
PROPULSION SYSTEM 3070 Offshore 1.1 General The Pursuit 3070 Offshore 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 instrumentation is unique to the type of outboard motors installed on your Pursuit. Some or all of the following gauges may be present. Tachometer The tachometer displays the speed of the engine in revolutions per minute (RPM).
Page 21 If you have a fuel management system installed on your boat, please refer to the engine or fuel management manual for information on that system. Depth Gauge The depth gauge indicates the depth of the water below the bottom of the boat. 3070 OFFSHORE...
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 OFFSHORE...
Page 23: Chapter 2: Helm Control Systems
The helm on your Pursuit is designed for a binnacle style control with a single lever for each engine that operates as a Controls gear shift and a throttle.
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.

Avoid depressing the switch while awaiting the trim plane reaction. By the time the effect is noticeable the trim tab plane will have moved too far and thus the boat will be in an overcompensated position. Trim Tab 3070 OFFSHORE...
Page 27: Control Systems Maintenance
A periodic inspection of all steering hoses, linkage and helm assemblies should be made. Signs of corrosion, cracking, loosening of fastenings, excessive wear, or deterioration should be immediately corrected.

Page 29: Chapter 3: Fuel System
FUEL SYSTEM 3.1 General The 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 ATTEMPT TO PUMP IT OUT YOURSELF. WATER AND WASTE PUMPS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO PUMP FUEL AND A FIRE OR EXPLOSION COULD RESULT. CON- TACT YOUR DEALER OR THE PURSUIT CUSTOMER RELATIONS DEPARTMENT FOR ASSISTANCE IN HAVING THE FUEL PROFESSIONALLY REMOVED.
Page 31: Outboard Fuel System
3.2 Outboard Fuel System The outboard fuel system on the Pursuit 3070 has two fuel tanks and four manual “ON/OFF” fuel valves that are labeled to indicate the engine the valve will supply. The fuel valves are located on the top of the fuel tanks below the inspection plates in the rear of the cockpit. The valves are off when the handle is perpendicular to the fuel flow.
Page 32: Diesel Generator Fuel System
Algae can grow in the accumulated water in diesel fuel tanks. This condition is most prevalent in warm climates. Periodically adding a high quality diesel fuel additive containing an algicide may be required to control algae in your boating area. Please contact your Pursuit dealer or generator manufacturer for additional information regarding fuels and additives.
Page 33: Fueling Instructions
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 REQUIREMENTS FOR YOUR ENGINES.
Page 34 TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION, DO NOT START THE ENGINE(S) WHEN FUEL FUMES ARE PRESENT. FUEL FUMES ARE DANGEROUS AND HARMFUL TO YOUR HEALTH. MAKE SURE ALL GASOLINE ODORS ARE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY. 3070 OFFSHORE...
Page 35: Fuel System Maintenance
AFTER THE FILTER ELEMENT HAS BEEN CHANGED, PRIME THE FUEL SYSTEM AND CHECK ALL FITTINGS FOR LEAKS BEFORE AND AFTER STARTING THE ENGINES. BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINES, ALWAYS OPEN ALL HATCHES, WINDOWS, AND DOORS TO COMPLETELY VENTILATE THE BOAT AFTER SERVICING THE FUEL SYSTEM. 3070 OFFSHORE...
