HELM CONTROL SYSTEMS
2.1 General
The helm controls consist of three systems: the engine throttle and shift controls, the steering system and the
trim tab control switches.
Each manufacturer of the control components provides an owner’s manual with its product. It is important
that you read the manuals and become familiar with the proper care and operation of the control systems.
2.2 Engine Throttle and Shift Controls
The shift and throttle controls on your boat may vary depending on the engines used. The following control
description is typical of most outboard remote controls. Refer to the engine or control manuals for specific
information on the controls installed on your Pursuit.
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). Advancing the control
lever beyond the shift range advances the throttle in forward or reverse.
Each control is equipped with a means of permitting the engine to be
operated at a higher than idle RPM while in neutral for cold starting and
warm-up purposes.
The handles of dual lever controls may not always align with each other
at all RPM settings due to variations in control cable routing, cable length
and adjustments at the engine. Usually the alignment of the handles can
be optimized at a chosen RPM, but may vary at other settings.
ALWAYS RETURN THE ENGINE THROTTLE LEVERS TO THE EXTREME LOW SPEED
POSITION BEFORE SHIFTING. NEVER SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION AT ANY THROTTLE
SETTING ABOVE IDLE RPM.
2.3 Neutral Safety Switch
Every control system has a neutral safety switch incorporated into it. This device prohibits the engine from
being started while the shift lever is in any position other than the neutral position. Control or cable adjustments
may be required to correct this condition should it persist. See your Pursuit dealer for necessary control and
cable adjustments.
