2270 CENTER CONSOLE
7-4
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE HELM STATION CLAMPS ARE PROPERLY SECURED BEFORE
OPERATING OR TRAILERING YOUR BOAT. IF THE HELM STATION IS NOT PROPERLY
SECURED, IT COULD OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY AND DAMAGE THE BOAT OR CAUSE LOSS
OF CONTROL.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE HELM BE OPENED WHEN THE ENGINE IS
RUNNING. IN SOME SITUATIONS IT IS POSSIBLE TO ACCIDENTALLY ENGAGE THE EN-
GINE SHIFT AND THROTTLE CONTROL INTO GEAR AS THE HELM IS OPENING. THIS
COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL, DAMAGE TO THE BOAT, AND INJURY TO PAS-
SENGERS.
Console Cooler (Optional)
A molded insulated cooler is installed under the front seat of the console. The cooler drains to the
cockpit sole through a fitting in the side of the console. The cooler should be cleaned thoroughly
after each use.
T-top (Optional)
The Pursuit T-top is made of welded anodized aluminum and is designed to accommodate radio
antennas, radar antennas and navigation lights. It is equipped with a courtesy light activated by
a switch in the helm and could also be equipped with optional top gun outriggers and/or rod holders.
The T-top is not designed to support the additional weight of items like an instrument locker or a
life raft. Radar and electronics antennas must be mounted near the center section of the T-top in
the area above the legs. Do not mount any antennas or equipment to the brow area forward of the
front legs or to the rear of the top. The T-top is not design to support the weight of accessories in
these areas.
The warranty for the T-top will be void if the top is modified in any way or heavy accessories like
life rafts, or electronics lockers are mounted to the top. Additionally, if items like radar antennas
spotlights and other accessories are mounted in the wrong location, the warranty could be void. If
you intend to add equipment or make modifications to the T-top, you should contact Pursuit
Customer Relations to make sure the equipment you would like to add or the intended modification
will not void the warranty on the T-top.
If an after market T-top is installed, it must be designed with four legs that are bolted to the cockpit
sole near the front and rear sides of the center console. There are aluminum plates in the laminate
below the cockpit sole that can be drilled and tapped to secure the T-top leg bases in these areas.
Both front and rear legs should also have brackets that are thru bolted to the console just below the
hinged helm section to provide additional stiffening for the T-top. Avoid a T-top that is designed
to mount only on the center console because it will cause excessive flexing to the console and
cockpit sole which will result in stress cracks and fractures in the fiberglass. If you have any
questions about installing a T-top on your boat, please contact your dealer or Pursuit Customer
Relations.
