10.3 Neutral Safety Switch

Every control system has a neutral safety switch incorporated into it. This device prohibits an

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. Please refer to the Helm Control Systems chapter for more information

on the neutral safety switch.

10.4 Engine Stop Switch

Your Pursuit is equipped with a engine stop switch and lanyard. When the lanyard is pulled it

will engage the switch and shut off the engine. We strongly recommend that the lanyard be

attached to the driver whenever the engine is running. If the engine 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.

10.5 Required Safety Equipment

Besides the equipment installed on your boat by Pursuit, certain other equipment is required by

the U.S. Coast Guard to help ensure passenger safety. Items like a sea anchor, working anchor,

extra dock lines, flare pistol, life vests, a line permanently secured to your ring buoy, etc. could

at some time save your passengers’ lives, or save your boat from damage. Refer to the “Federal

Requirements and Safety Tips for Recreational Boats” pamphlet for a more detailed description

of the required equipment. You can also contact the U.S. Coast Guard Boating Safety Hotline,

800-368-5647 or 800-336-2628 and 800-245-2628 in Virginia, for information on boat safety

courses and brochures listing the Federal equipment requirements. Also, check your local and

state regulations.

The Coast Guard Auxiliary offers a “Courtesy Examination.” This inspection will help ensure

that your boat is equipped with all of the necessary safety equipment.

The following is a list of the accessory equipment required on your boat by the U.S. Coast

Guard:

Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs)

PFDs must be Coast Guard approved, in good and serviceable condition, and of appropriate size

for the intended user. Wearable PFDs must be readily accessible, meaning you must be able to

put them on in a reasonable amount of time in an emergency. Though not required, the Coast

Guard emphasizes that PFDs should be worn at all times when the vessel is underway. Throwable

devices must be immediately available for use. All Pursuit boats must be equipped with at least
