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.

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 ensure 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. Turn

the ignition key to the start position just long enough to briefly engage the starter for the engine.

Do not hold the key in the start position long enough to start the 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.

IN SOME SITUATIONS, IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO ACCIDENTALLY START AN EN-

GINE IN GEAR WITH THE THROTTLE ABOVE IDLE IF THE NEUTRAL SAFETY

SWITCH IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE BOAT TO

ACCELERATE UNEXPECTEDLY IN FORWARD OR REVERSE AND COULD RESULT

IN LOSS OF CONTROL, DAMAGE TO THE BOAT, OR INJURY TO PASSENGERS.

ALWAYS TEST THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH PERIODICALLY AND CORRECT

ANY PROBLEMS 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).

Please refer to the engine owner's manual for additional informa-

tion on the engine stop switch.
