2470 WALKAROUND

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.

The neutral safety switch should be tested periodically to insure that it is operating properly. To

test the neutral safety switch, make sure the engines are tilted down and move the shift levers to

the forward position. Make sure the control levers are not advanced past the idle position.

Activate the starter for each engine. The starter should not engage for either engine. Repeat this

test with the shift levers in reverse and the engine throttles at idle. Again, the starter should not

engage for either engine. If the starter for either engine engages with the shift controls in any

position other than the neutral position, then the neutral safety switch is not functioning properly

and you should contact your dealer and have the neutral safety switch repaired before using your

boat. If an engine starts in gear during this test, immediately move the control levers to the neutral

position. Turn the engines off and have the problem corrected by a qualified marine mechanic

before using the boat.

2.4 Engine Stop Switch

All Pursuit boats rigged with outboard motors are equipped with

an engine stop switch and lanyard. When the lanyard is pulled it

will engage the switch and shut off the engine(s). We strongly

recommend that the lanyard be attached to the driver whenever

the engines are running. If the engine(s) will not start, it could be

because the lanyard is not properly inserted into the stop switch.

Always make sure the lanyard is properly attached to the engine

stop switch before attempting to start the engine(s).

2.5 Engine Power Tilt and Trim

All outboard engines have a tilt and trim feature. The tilt and trim switches are usually built into

the engine shift and throttle controls and allows the operator to control the position of the

outboards from the helm. Moving the outboards closer to the boat transom is called trimming “in”

or “down.” Moving the outboards further away from the boat transom is called trimming “out”

or “up.” In most cases, the boat will run best with the outboards adjusted so the hull will run at

a 3 to 5 degree angle to the water.

The term “trim” generally refers to the adjustment of the outboards within the first 20

range of

travel. This is the range used while operating your boat on plane. The term “tilt” is generally used

when referring to adjusting the outboards further up for shallow water operation or trailering. For

information on the proper use and maintenance of the power tilt and trim, please refer to the engine

owner’s manual.
