2.6 Engine Stop Switch

Engine Stop Switch

Your Pursuit is equipped with an engine stop

switch and lanyard. The engines will auto-

matically shut off by removing the lanyard

from the emergency-stop switch.

An improperly inserted lanyard will prevent

the engines from starting. Check the lanyard

to ensure proper insertion of the engines will

not start. Refer to the engine owner's man-

ual for more information on the engine stop

switch.

2.7 Automatic Fire Extinguisher

System (with Optional

Generator)

This system protects the generator compart-

ment in the case of fire. The helm mounted

display unit provides systems status -

charged (visual), discharged (visual and

audible) - and an override switch to allow for

engine restart.

For additional important information on this

system, read the Automatic Fire Extinguish-

ing System section in the Safety Equipment

Chapter of this owner's manual. Also, read

the automatic fire extinguisher owner's man-

ual in the Generator Compartment section of

this binder.

2.8 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 through hydraulic hoses and

activates the hydraulic cylinder causing the

motors to turn.

The opening and closing of valves in the

helm unit may cause a clicking sound, this is

normal. Refer to the steering manufacturer

owner’s manual for specific information on

the steering system.

Dual engine outboards use tie bar to couple

the tiller arms. Make sure the engines have

proper alignment. Properly aligned engines

provide maximum stability on straight runs

and correct tracking through corners.

Realign the engines and/or steering system

if any damage has occurred.

! WARNING

Personal Injury Hazard – always keep

the emergency-stop switch lanyard

attached to operator while the boat is

! CAUTION

If the boat is equipped with an emer-

gency-stop switch, wear the lanyard at

all times when operating the boat but

only use it to shut off the engines in

an emergency. Do not use it to shut

off the engine during normal opera-

tion.
