DO NOT ATTEMPT CONTROL ADJUSTMENTS UNLESS YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH SER-

VICING CONTROL SYSTEM PROCEDURES. CONTROL MISADJUSTMENT CAN CAUSE

LOSS OF CONTROL AND SEVERE ENGINE OR LOWER UNIT DAMAGE.

Steering System Maintenance

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

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

ately corrected. 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 hydraulic 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 will be necessary to monitor the zinc

anodes on the trim tab planes. The anodes were installed at the factory to prevent galvanic corrosion

and will need to be changed when they are 75% of their original size.

Refer to the trim tab owner's manual for additional maintenance information and fluid specifica-

tions.
