2.8 Control Systems Maintenance

Control Maintenance

Periodic inspection of the control systems and all connections should be made. Signs of rust,

corrosion, wear, or other deterioration should immediately be serviced. Generally, periodic

lubrication of all moving parts and connections with a light waterproof grease is in order.

Lubrication should be performed as often as necessary to keep the system operating smoothly.

Control system adjustments may become necessary. If adjustment becomes necessary, see your

Pursuit dealer.

DO NOT ATTEMPT CONTROL SYSTEM ADJUSTMENTS UNLESS YOU ARE FAMIL-

IAR WITH CONTROL SYSTEM SERVICING PROCEDURES. MISADJUSTMENT CAN

CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND SEVERE ENGINE OR LOWER UNIT DAMAGE.

Steering System Maintenance

A periodic inspection of all steering cables, hoses, linkage and helm assemblies should be made.

Signs of corrosion, cracking, loosening of fastenings, excessive wear, or deterioration should be

immediately corrected. Generally, periodic lubrication of all moving parts and connections with

a light waterproof grease is in order. Failure to do so could lead to steering system failure that

would result in loss of control.

When new, or after repairs, hydraulic steering systems may need to have all air purged from the

system. Review the information provided by the steering manufacturer for proper specifications

and details on system service and maintenance.

Trim Tab Maintenance

Marine growth can interfere with the proper operation of the trim tab planes and actuators. To

reduce problems due to marine growth, always return the trim tabs to the full “UP” position after

operating the boat and periodically inspect and clean marine growth from the actuators and

planes.

The trim tab fluid should be checked often. Keep the fluid level between the marks on the trim

tab pump reservoir.

If your Pursuit will be left in saltwater for extended periods, it may be necessary to install zinc

anodes on the trim tab planes to prevent galvanic corrosion. Refer to the trim tab owner’s manual

for additional maintenance information and fluid specifications.
