Propulsion Systems

1.1 General

Your Pursuit is powered using single or twin

2-cycle or 4-cycle outboard motors.

The manufacturer of the outboard motor pro-

vides an owner’s manual. Carefully read the

owner’s manual to learn the proper care and

operation of the motor and drive system.

Familiarize yourself with the warranty infor-

mation included in the owner’s manual.

1.2 Outboard Saltwater

Application

Each outboard motor is a complete drive

system with the gear case being just forward

of the propeller and connected to the power

head with a vertical drive shaft. Other than

the routine maintenance outlined in the

engine owner’s manual, there is little to be

concerned with unless the boat is stored in

saltwater for extended periods. Then the

main concerns with saltwater storage are

marine growth and galvanic corrosion.

Marine growth occurs to saltwater exposed

components of the motor and can cause

poor performance or permanent damage.

The water conditions in your area will deter-

mine the extent and type of marine growth.

Water temperature, pollution, current, etc.

can have an effect on marine growth.

Electrolytes, such as saltwater, cause gal-

vanic corrosion. Protecting submerged

engine components from saltwater is essen-

tial. Outboard motors are equipped with sac-

rificial anodes to prevent galvanic corrosion

problems. Inspect anodes on a regular basis

and replaced as necessary. You can find

where to buy replacement anodes, along

with maintenance instructions, in the

owner’s manual.

When leaving the boat in the water, tilt the

motors to their highest pitch. This decreases

the risk of marine growth around the cooling

inlets, propeller and exhaust ports and helps

prevent damage from galvanic corrosion.

1.3 Engine Lubrication

4-Cycle Engines

Check the engine oil level before each use

by checking the engine’s dipstick.

A sump in the engine’s crankcase provides

lubrication for the engine. 4-cycle engines

do consume a small amount of oil during

normal operation.

Maintain engine oil recommended fill level

using only the type and grade of oil recom-

mended by the engine manufacturer.

! WARNING

Do not attempt to service the engine

or drive components without being

completely familiar with the safe and

proper service procedures. Moving

parts are exposed and can be danger-

ous to someone unfamiliar with the

operation and function of the equip-

ment.

! CAUTION

Use only clean, dry fuel of the type

and grade recommended by the

engine manufacturer. Use of incorrect

or contaminated fuel can cause

engine malfunction and serious dam-

age.

! CAUTION

Do not paint the outboard motors with

antifouling paints designed for boat

hulls. Many of these paints can cause

severe damage to the engines. Con-

tact your Pursuit dealer or engine

manufacturer for information on the

proper painting procedures.
