2.6 Engine Stop Switch

WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT THE LANYARD BE

ATTACHED TO THE DRIVER WHENEVER THE ENGINES

ARE RUNNING.

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. If the

engines will not start, it could be because the lanyard is not properly inserted

into the engine stop switch. Always make sure the lanyard is properly attached

to the engine stop switch before attempting to start the engine.

WEAR THE LANYARD AT ALL TIMES WHILE OPERATING YOUR BOAT. USE IT TO

STOP ONLY IN AN EMERGENCY, NOT TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE DURING NORMAL

OPERATION.

Refer to the engine owner's manual for more information on the engine stop switch.

2.7 Steering System

The steering system is hydraulic and made of two main components: the helm assembly and the hydraulic

cylinder. The helm unit acts as both a fluid reservoir and pump. Turning of the helm, or steering wheel, pumps

the fluid in the hydraulic hoses and activates the hydraulic cylinder causing the motors to turn. A slight clicking

sound may be heard as the wheel is turned. This sound is the opening and closing of valves in the helm unit

and is normal. Refer to the steering manufacturer owner’s manual for specific information on the steering

system.

Dual engine outboards are coupled at the tiller arms by a tie bar. The engines must be aligned so they are

parallel with each other to provide maximum stability on straight ahead runs and proper tracking through

corners. Engine or steering system damage may require the engines to be realigned.

SOME AUTOPILOTS HAVE ENGINE POSITION SENSORS THAT ARE MOUNTED TO THE

HYDRAULIC STEERING CYLINDER. WITH THESE AUTOPILOTS, THE ENGINE POSI-

TION SENSOR BRACKET COULD HIT THE TRANSOM WHEN THE ENGINES ARE TILTED

TO THE FULL UP POSITION AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE RIGGING, THE

AUTOPILOT OR THE TRANSOM. IF YOU HAVE AN AUTOPILOT INSTALLED ON YOUR

BOAT, YOU SHOULD MONITOR THE LOCATION OF THE ENGINE CABLES AND AUTO-

PILOT BRACKETS AS THE ENGINES ARE TILTED TO DETERMINE THE BEST ENGINE

POSITION AND MAXIMUM ENGINE TILT FOR YOUR APPLICATION.
