Chapter 1: PROPULSION SYSTEM 1.1 General The Pursuit 2470 Center Console is designed to be powered with single or twin 2 cycle or 4 cycle outboard motors. Most 2 cycle outboard motors use an oil injection system. Oil is automatically injected in the engines and mixed at the proper ratio from oil tank(s) located behind access hatches in the stern compartment. 4-cycle outboard engines do not use an oil injection system and are not equipped with remote oil tanks.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE ANY ENGINE OR DRIVE COMPONENT WITHOUT BEING TOTALLY FAMILIAR WITH THE SAFE AND PROPER SERVICE PROCEDURES. CERTAIN MOVING PARTS ARE EXPOSED AND CAN BE DANGEROUS TO SOMEONE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE OPERATION AND FUNCTION OF THE EQUIPMENT. 1.2 Drive Systems Corrosion 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.
Note: Always monitor the oil level in the tanks and only use the type of oil specified by the engine manufacturer. 4-cycle outboard engines have an oil sump in the crankcase that must be kept full of the type and grade of oil recommended by the engine manufacturer. It is normal for 4-cycle engines to consume a small amount of oil. Therefore, the oil must be checked before each use and changed at regular intervals as instructed by the engine owner's manual.
RUNNING AGROUND OR STRIKING AN UNDERWATER OBSTRUCTION CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR OR BOAT. IF YOUR BOAT RUNS AGROUND, EVALUATE THE DAMAGE THEN PROCEED AT LOW SPEED TO THE NEAREST SERVICE FACILITY AND HAVE AN IMMEDIATE INSPECTION MADE BEFORE FURTHER USE OF THE CRAFT. A DAMAGED BOAT CAN TAKE ON WATER. KEEP ALL LIFE SAVING DEVICES CLOSE AT HAND WHILE DRIVING TO A DOCK AREA.
Fuel Gauge The fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel in the fuel tank. Voltmeter The voltmeter displays the voltage for the battery and the charging system. The normal voltage is 11 to 12-volts with the engine off, and 13 to 14.5 volts with the engine(s) running. Hour Meter The hour meter keeps a record of the operating time for the engine. Engine Alarms Most outboards are equipped with an audible alarm system mounted in the helm area that monitors selected critical engine systems.
Instrument Maintenance Electrical protection for instruments and ignition circuitry is provided by a set of circuit breakers located near the main battery switch. The ignition switches should be sprayed periodically with a contact cleaner/lubricant. The ignition switches and all instruments, controls, etc. should be protected from the weather when not in use. Excessive exposure can lead to gauge and ignition switch difficulties.
Chapter 2: HELM CONTROL SYSTEMS 2.1 General The helm controls consist of three systems: the engine throttle and shift controls, the steering system, and the trim tab control switches. These systems provide the operator with the ability to control the direction and attitude of the boat from the helm station. Each manufacturer of the control components provides an owner’s manual with its product.
2.3 Neutral Safety Switch Every control system has a neutral safety switch incorporated into it. This device prohibits the 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.
2.5 Engine Power Tilt and Trim All outboard engines have a tilt and trim feature. The tilt and trim switches are usually built into the engine shift and throttle controls and allows the operator to control the position of the outboards from the helm. Moving the outboards closer to the boat transom is called trimming “in” or “down.” Moving the outboards further away from the boat transom is called trimming “out” or “up.
2.6 Steering System The steering system is hydraulic and made of two main components: the helm assembly and the hydraulic cylinder. The helm unit acts as both a fluid reservoir and pump. Turning of the helm, or steering wheel, pumps the fluid in the hydraulic hoses and activates the hydraulic cylinder causing the motors to turn. A slight clicking sound may be heard as the wheel is turned. This sound is the opening and closing of valves in the helm unit and is normal.
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.

Chapter 3: FUEL SYSTEM 3.1 General The gasoline fuel system used in Pursuit boats is designed to meet or exceed the requirements of the U.S. Coast Guard, the Boating Industry Association, and The American Boat and Yacht Council in effect at the time of manufacture. All gasoline fuel systems have been factory inspected and pressure tested in accordance with regulations in effect at the time of manufacture. This inspection assures that the system is air tight, leak proof and safe.
Note: Do not overtighten the fuel cap. If the cap is overtightened, the O-ring seal could be damaged allowing water to contaminate the fuel system. DO NOT CONFUSE FUEL FILL DECK PLATES WITH THE WATER OR WASTE FILL DECK PLATES. THESE PLATES ARE ALSO LABELED ACCORDINGLY. IF GASOLINE IS ACCIDENTALLY PUMPED INTO THE WATER OR WASTE TANK, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUMP IT OUT YOURSELF. WATER AND WASTE PUMPS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO PUMP FUEL AND A FIRE OR EXPLOSION COULD RESULT.
Twin Engine Fuel System (Optional) Twin engine 2470 Center Consoles use both fuel withdrawal lines, one for each engine. A fuel filter for each engine is installed in the transom area of the boat. The filters are the water separator type and have a sediment bowl that should be checked for water frequently to assure an adequate supply of clean, dry fuel to the engines. It is recommended that the filters be inspected periodically and the element changed as needed.
7. Remove the cap. 8. Put the nozzle in the fuel opening. STATIC ELECTRICITY CAN BE GENERATED WHILE FUELING AND CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. TO PREVENT STATIC SPARKS WHEN FILLING THE TANK, MAKE SURE THE NOZZLE IS IN CONTACT WITH THE FUEL OPENING. SPILLED FUEL CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR AN EXPLOSION. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT SPILL ANY FUEL. IF A SMALL AMOUNT OF FUEL IS SPILLED ON THE FIBERGLASS, USE A CLOTH TO REMOVE THE FUEL AND PROPERLY DISPOSE OF THE CONTAMINATED CLOTH.
3.4 Fuel System Maintenance Periodically inspect all primer bulbs, connections, clamps and hoses for leakage and damage or deterioration. Replace as necessary. Spray the valves, tank fuel gauge sender and ground connections with a metal protector. Frequently inspect and lubricate the fuel fill cap O-ring seal with petroleum jelly or silicone grease. The O-ring seal prevents water from entering the fuel system through the fuel fill cap.
DO NOT DRAIN ANY FUEL INTO THE BILGE. THIS COULD LEAD TO A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. AFTER THE FILTER ELEMENT HAS BEEN CHANGED, PRIME THE FUEL SYSTEM AND CHECK ALL FITTINGS FOR LEAKS BEFORE AND AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE.
Chapter 4: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 4.1 General Your Pursuit is equipped with a 12-volt D.C. electrical system that draws current from onboard batteries. The 12-volt system is a fairly standard system. The batteries are charged by the engine(s). All 12-volt power is distributed to the 12-volt accessories through individual circuit breakers located in the 12-volt switch panels. A main circuit breaker located near the battery switch protects the system from an overload.
4.3 DC Distribution System The battery switches are a part of an integrated DC power distribution system that contain several components. The following are descriptions of the components: Battery Master Switch (2) These switches feed the engine(s) and DC circuits. Engine Parallel Switch Connects the two batteries together for engine starting or charging of both batteries. Voltage Sensitive Relay (VSR) Used on single engine applications only.
Note: The bilge pump will start automatically when there is sufficient water in the bilge to activate the float switch. The float switch is protected by a circuit breaker located near the battery selector switch and is always supplied current when the batteries are connected. Anchor-Nav Lights The switch is a three-position switch. The middle position is “OFF." Moving the switch in one direction will activate the navigation lights. Moving the switch in the opposite direction activates the anchor light.
Trim Tab Switch Located in the helm. This switch controls the trim tab planes located on the transom of the boat. It is protected by a breaker located behind the helm at the back of the accessory switch. Please refer to chapter 2 for detailed information on the operation of the trim tab controls. Windlass Switch (Optional) Located in the helm. This switch controls the optional windlass which is mounted to the deck directly above the rope locker.
Check the electrolyte level in the batteries regularly and add distilled water as necessary. If the batteries are frequently charged by an automatic battery charger, the electrolyte level will have to be checked more often. Keep the battery tops clean and dry. Dirt and water can conduct electricity from one post to the other causing the battery to discharge. The battery posts should be kept free of corrosion.

Chapter 5: FRESHWATER SYSTEM 5.1 General The freshwater system consists of a potable water tank, distribution lines and a distribution pump. The tank is filled through a labeled deck plate located on the side of the center console. An inline strainer located near the pump protects the system from debris. DO NOT FILL SYSTEM WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN WATER. SHOULD THE SYSTEM BECOME CONTAMINATED WITH FUEL OR OTHER TOXIC FLUIDS, COMPONENT REPLACEMENT MAY BE NECESSARY.
DO NOT ALLOW THE FRESHWATER PUMP TO RUN DRY. THIS CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE PUMP. 5.3 Freshwater System Maintenance Information supplied with water system components, by the equipment manufacturers, is included with this manual. Refer to this information for additional operation and service data. The following items should be done routinely to maintain your Freshwater System: Periodically, remove the water tank vent and clean corrosion and salt buildup from the vent screens.
Chapter 6: RAW WATER SYSTEM 6.1 General In the raw or sea water systems, all water pumps are supplied by a hose connected to a ball valve located in the bilge compartment. Always make sure the ball valves are open before attempting to operate any component of the raw water system. 12-volt pumps supply sea water to the various accessories. Priming the System Make sure the ball valves are open.
The Washdown Pump Connection The washdown pump hose connection is located in the cockpit and uses a standard garden hose connection. Washdown Hose Connector ALWAYS TURN THE RAW WATER PUMP SWITCH TO THE “OFF” POSITION WHEN LEAVING THE BOAT UNATTENDED. DO NOT RUN THE HIGH PRESSURE PUMP DRY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS AS DAMAGE TO THE PUMP WILL RESULT. 6.3 Livewell Sea water is provided to the livewell by a 12-volt circulation pump. This pump is designed to carry a constant flow of water to the livewell.
To drain the livewell, turn off the livewell pump and pull out the plug in the drain fitting at the bottom of the livewell. When the livewell has completely drained, use the washdown hose to flush the livewell and drain of debris. The livewell supply thru-hull valve should be closed whenever the livewell is not in use. This will prevent water from entering the livewell while the boat is cruising.
THE BATTERIES MUST BE PROPERLY CHARGED. OPERATING ANY PUMPS FROM A BATTERY WITH A LOW CHARGE MAY LEAD TO A PUMP FAILURE. THE RAW WATER SYSTEM MUST BE PROPERLY WINTERIZED PRIOR TO WINTER LAY-UP. SEE SECTION ON WINTERIZING.
Chapter 7: DRAINAGE SYSTEMS 7.1 Cockpit Drainage Your Pursuit has two scupper drains located on each side of the hull near the waterline to provide drainage for the cockpit. Water is channeled away from all opening hatches by a gutter or drain rail system. The water then drains overboard through the scuppers. The scupper drain thru-hull fittings are equipped with PVC ball valves that are always open under normal operating conditions. The valves are accessed through hatches located in the stern.
7.3 Bilge Drainage The bilge pump is activated both manually, by a switch in the helm station, and automatically by a float switch located next to the pump in the bilge. The automatic float switch remains activated when the battery switch is in the “OFF” position. All bilge pumps pump water out of thru-hulls located above the waterline in the hull. Note: See Electrical Systems for additional information on bilge pump operation.
7.6 Console Cooler Drain The console cooler is drained by gravity. Water is channeled from the cooler to the cockpit sole and then overboard through the scuppers. The cooler should be flushed out and cleaned after each use. 7.7 Maintenance It is essential that the following items be done periodically to maintain proper drainage of your boat: • Clean the cockpit drain rails with a hose to remove debris that can block water drainage. • Operate the thru-hull valves once a month and service as required.

Chapter 8: EXTERIOR EQUIPMENT 8.1 Deck Rails and Deck Hardware The rail system and hardware fittings have been selected and installed to perform specific functions. Fenders or mooring lines should be secured to the cleats and not to rails or stanchions. Mooring lines should be secured to the stern cleats. Be sure a clear lead exists when running dock lines or anchor lines. A line inadvertently run around a stanchion or over the rail could cause damage.
THE ANCHOR MUST BE POSITIONED SO IT DOES NOT REST AGAINST THE HULL SIDES AND BE PROPERLY SECURED AT ALL TIMES WHEN IT IS STORED IN THE ANCHOR/ROPE LOCKER. A LOOSE ANCHOR IN THE ANCHOR LOCKER WILL BOUNCE AND CAN DAMAGE THE BOAT. DAMAGE RESULTING FROM THE ANCHOR BOUNCING IN THE ANCHOR LOCKER IS NOT COVERED BY THE PURSUIT WARRANTY. Windlass (Optional) The optional windlass is mounted to the deck near the rear of the pulpit above the rope locker.
8.2 Hull Swim Platform Your Pursuit is equipped with an integral swim platform and engine mounting system located in the stern of the boat. There are two inspection deck plates in the transom engine well to provide access to the stern bilge and engine mounting bolts. Always make sure these plates are secure before operating your boat. Boarding Ladder (Optional) The optional boarding ladder is mounted to the rear of the stern bait and tackle rigging station when it is in the stored position.
Stern Bait and Tackle Rigging Station The stern bait and tackle rigging station is equipped with a sink, removable cutting board, fishbox, tackle locker and rigged bait storage area. The sink is plumbed to the freshwater system. Refer to chapter 6 for additional information on the raw water system. The tackle locker is below the fishbox and is removable to allow access to the bilge, Y-valve, and the port battery. To remove the tackle locker, open the door and remove the top drawer.
The top section of the console is hinged and opens to provide access to service the helm equipment or to install electronics. To open the helm portion of the console, release the clamps on the front of the console. The front of the console can then be lifted to expose the underside of the helm. A strap holds the helm in the open position and prevents it from opening too far. Always make sure the helm station clamps are properly secured when the helm is closed.
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 laminated below the cockpit sole that can be drilled and tapped to secure the T-top leg bases in these areas.
Chapter 9: INTERIOR EQUIPMENT 9.1 Portable Head The system is made up of two major components, an upper tank and a lower tank. The upper tank contains the freshwater supply, a bellows pump, a seat and the lid. The bottom tank contains the flush valve, a waste holding tank, a chemical storage compartment and the drain nozzle. The components are secured together by a clamping mechanism when the portable head is ready for use.
9.2 Marine Head System (Optional) This system is provided as optional equipment. The flush water is supplied by a thru-hull fitting and a raw water line. Before using, open the inlet valve on the head and pump to wet the inside of the bowl. After use, close the valve and pump to discharge the waste to the holding tank or overboard. Waste can be directed either into the holding tank or overboard, when legal to do so.
To operate the macerator discharge pump, open the ball valve at the overboard discharge thruhull and set the Y-valve to the macerator pump position. Then activate the momentary macerator switch, located in the stern bellow the battery switch, until the tank is emptied. Release the switch and close the discharge ball valve when pumping is complete. DO NOT ALLOW THE OVERBOARD MACERATOR DISCHARGE PUMP TO RUN DRY FOR MORE THAN 10 SECONDS. SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE MACERATOR PUMP WILL RESULT.

Chapter 10: SAFETY EQUIPMENT 10.1 General Your boat and outboard engine have been equipped with safety equipment designed to enhance the safe operation of the boat and to meet U.S. Coast Guard safety standards. The Coast Guard or state, county, and municipal law enforcement agencies require certain additional accessory safety equipment on each boat. This equipment varies according to length and type of boat and type of propulsion.
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.
one Type I, II or III PFD for each person on board, plus one throwable device (Type IV). Some states have special PFD requirements for children. Make sure you know and follow the laws for your boating area. Visual Distress Signals All Pursuit boats used on coastal waters, the Great Lakes, territorial seas, and those waters connected directly to them, must be equipped with Coast Guard approved visual distress signals. These signals are either Pyrotechnic or Non-Pyrotechnic devices.
Fire Extinguishers At least one fire extinguisher is required on all Pursuit boats. Boats 26' and larger may require two or three fire extinguishers. Coast Guard approved fire extinguishers are hand-portable, either B-I or B-II classification and have a specific marine type mounting bracket. It is recommended the extinguishers be mounted in a readily accessible position. Fire extinguishers require regular inspections to insure that: • Seals & tamper indicators are not broken or missing.
10.6 First Aid It is the operator's responsibility to be familiar with the proper firstaid procedures and be able to care for minor injuries or illnesses of your passengers. In an emergency, you could be far from professional medical assistance. We strongly recommend that you be prepared by receiving training in basic first aid and CPR. This can be done through classes given by the Red Cross or your local hospital.
10.8 Maximum Capacity Rating Your boat is equipped with a “Maximum Capacities” plate, which is permanently attached to the cockpit near the helm. The plate indicates the maximum horsepower and load capacity for your boat. Never exceed the limits dictated by the information provided on the capacity plate. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO OVERLOAD OR OVERPOWER YOUR BOAT. BOATS THAT ARE OVERLOADED OR OVERPOWERED CAN BECOME UNSTABLE OR DIFFICULT TO CONTROL.
Chapter 11: OPERATION 11.1 General Before you start the engines on your Pursuit, you should have become familiar with the various component systems and their operation, and have performed a “Pre-Cruise System Check.” A thorough understanding of the component systems and their operation is essential to the proper operation of the boat. This manual and the associated manufacturers’ information is provided to enhance your knowledge of your Pursuit. Please read them carefully.
Natural Resources, or your local boat club. These organizations sponsor courses in boat handling, including rules of the road. We strongly recommend such courses. Books on this subject are also available from your local library. SAILBOATS NOT UNDER POWER, PADDLE BOATS, VESSELS UNABLE TO MANEUVER, VESSELS ENGAGED IN COMMERCIAL FISHING AND OTHER VESSELS WITHOUT POWER HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY OVER MOTOR POWERED BOATS. YOU MUST STAY CLEAR OR PASS TO THE STERN OF THESE VESSELS.
11.3 Pre-Cruise System Check Before Starting the Engines • Check the weather forecast. Decide if the planned cruise can be made safely. • Be sure all required documents are on board. • Be sure all necessary safety equipment is on board and operative. This should include items like the running lights, spotlight, life saving devices, etc. Please refer to the Safety Equipment chapter for additional information on safety equipment.
• Have a tool kit aboard. The kit should include the following basic tools: Spark Plug Wrench Spark Plug Gap Gauge Screwdrivers Pliers Adjustable Wrench Needle Nose Pliers End Wrench Set Hammer Electrician’s Tape Lubricating Oil Jackknife Vise grip Pliers Wire Crimping Tool Wire Connector Set THERE MUST BE AT LEAST ONE PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICE ONBOARD FOR EVERY PERSON ON BOARD AND ONE THROW-OUT FLOTATION DEVICE. CHECK THE U.S. COAST GUARD STANDARDS FOR THE CORRECT TYPE OF DEVICE FOR YOUR BOAT.
11.4 Operating Your Boat After Starting the Engines TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A FIRE OR EXPLOSION, DO NOT START THE ENGINES WHEN FUEL FUMES ARE PRESENT. FUEL FUMES ARE DANGEROUS AND HARMFUL TO YOUR HEALTH. • Visibly check the engines to be sure there are no apparent water, fuel or oil leaks. • Check the operation of the engine cooling systems. • Check the engine gauges. Make sure they are reading normally. • Check the controls and steering for smooth and proper operation.
MAKE SURE ONE OTHER PERSON ON THE BOAT IS INSTRUCTED IN THE OPERATION OF THE BOAT. MAKE SURE THE BOAT IS OPERATED IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL STATE AND LOCAL LAWS GOVERNING THE USE OF A BOAT. DO NOT OPERATE THE BOAT UNLESS IT IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED. KEEP ALL FASTENERS TIGHT. KEEP ADJUSTMENTS ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATIONS. Before operating the boat for the first time, read the engine break-in procedures. The break-in procedures are found in the owner’s manual for the engine.
After Operation • If operating in saltwater, wash the boat and all equipment with soap and water. Flush t h e engines using freshwater. Please refer to the engine owner's manual for instructions on flushing your outboard engines. • Check the bilge area for debris and excess water. • Fill the fuel tanks to near full to reduce condensation. Allow enough room in the tank for the fuel to expand without being forced out through the vent.
WHEN TOWING OPERATIONS ARE UNDERWAY, HAVE EVERYONE ABOARD BOTH VESSELS STAY CLEAR OF THE TOW LINE AND SURROUNDING AREA. A TOW LINE THAT SHOULD BREAK WHILE UNDER STRESS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS, AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. RUNNING AGROUND OR STRIKING AN UNDERWATER OBSTRUCTION CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO PASSENGERS AND DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR OR BOAT. IF YOUR BOAT SHOULD BECOME GROUNDED, DISTRIBUTE PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICES AND INSPECT THE BOAT FOR POSSIBLE DAMAGE.
• Give immediate attention to a fallen skier. A fallen skier is very hard to see by other boats and is extremely vulnerable. When a skier falls, be prepared to immediately turn the boat and return to the skier. Never leave a fallen skier alone in the water for any reason. For additional information on water skiing, including hand signals and water skiing manuals, contact the American Water Skiing Association in Winter Haven, Florida, 863-324-4341. MOVING PROPELLERS ARE DANGEROUS.
Important Note: Your Pursuit is a heavy boat and care must be taken when selecting the trailer. We recommend that you use a bunk style trailer that incorporates a combination of heavy duty rollers, to support the keel and long bunks running under and parallel to the stringers to support the hull. Avoid using a full roller trailer that does not have bunks. Roller trailers have a tendency to put extreme pressure points on the hull, especially on the lifting strakes, and have damaged boats.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE TRAILER BUNKS AND ROLLERS ARE ADJUSTED SO THEY ARE NOT PUTTING EXCESSIVE PRESSURE ON THE LIFTING STRAKES AND ARE PROVIDING ENOUGH SUPPORT FOR THE HULL. HULL DAMAGE RESULTING FROM IMPROPER TRAILER SUPPORT IS NOT COVERED BY THE PURSUIT WARRANTY. Before Going Out On The Highway: • The BIMINI TOP, SIDE CURTAINS, CLEAR CONNECTOR, BACK DROP and AFT CURTAIN must be removed when trailering.

Chapter 12: ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 12.1 Exterior Hull and Deck Hull Cleaning-Below The Water Line When the boat is removed from the water, clean the outer bottom surface immediately. Algae, grass, dirt and other marine growth is easier to remove while the hull is still wet. Use a pressure cleaner or a hard bristle brush to clean the surface. Bottom Painting If the boat is to be left in saltwater for extended periods, the hull must be protected from marine growth by antifouling paint.
Fiberglass Gelcoat Surfaces Normal maintenance requires only washing with mild soap and water. A stiff brush can be used on the nonskid areas. Kerosene or commercially prepared products will remove oil and tar which could be a problem on trailered boats. Harsh abrasive and chemical cleaners are not recommended because they can damage or dull the gelcoat, reducing its life and making it more susceptible to stains.
Anodized Aluminum Surfaces Anodized aluminum should be washed periodically with soap and water to keep it clean. If the boat is used in saltwater or polluted water, the aluminum should be washed with soap and water after each use. Saltwater allowed to remain on anodized aluminum will penetrate the anodized coating and attack the aluminum. T-tops, tops with aluminum frames, and towers with canvas and/or fiberglass tops require special attention to the anodized aluminum just below the top.
Engines Proper engine maintenance is essential to the proper performance and reliability of your outboard engines. Maintenance schedules and procedures are outlined in your engine owner's manual. They should be followed exactly. If the boat is used in saltwater, flush the cooling systems after each daily use. To flush the systems when the boat is out of the water, follow the procedure outlined in your engine owner's manual. The age of gasoline can affect engine performance.
• • • Stubborn spots and stains - Spray with either Fantastik Cleaner® or Tannery Car Care Cleaner® and rub with a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water. Liquid spills - Wipe immediately with a clean absorbent cloth. Rinse with clean water. Food grease and oily stains - Spray immediately using either Fantastik Cleaner® or Tannery Car Care Cleaner®, wiping with a soft cloth. Take care not to extend the area of contamination beyond its original boundary. Rinse with clean water.
appearance that will affect the clarity of the strataglass. Products that repel water, like Rainex®, should not be used as they will not take well to the surface and could appear spotty and may also yellow or dull the Strataglass over time. Stratoglass can be cleaned by rinsing off dirt or salt deposits with fresh water, then washing with a clean cloth and mild soap. Chamoise dry to remove water spots and improve clarity. If a polish is accidentally used, use Windex® or its equivalent to remove it.
• Frequently test the automatic bilge pump switches for proper operation. • Flush all gravity drains with freshwater to keep them clean and free flowing. Note: All drains and pumps must be properly winterized before winter lay-up. NEVER USE HARSH CHEMICAL DRAIN CLEANERS IN MARINE DRAIN SYSTEMS. PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE HOSES AND FITTINGS MAY RESULT.

Chapter 13: SEASONAL MAINTENANCE 13.1 Storage and Lay-up Before Hauling • The fuel tank should be left nearly full to reduce condensation that can accumulate in the fuel tank. Allow enough room in the tank for the fuel to expand without leaking out the vent. Moisture from condensation in the fuel tank can reach such concentrations that it becomes heavy enough to settle out of the gasoline to the bottom of the tank.
Lifting NOTICE NOTICE BOATS CAN BE DAMAGED FROM IMPROPER LIFTING AND ROUGH HANDLING WHEN BEING TRANSPORTED BY LIFT TRUCKS. CARE AND PROPER HANDLING PROCEDURES MUST BE USED WHEN USING A LIFT TRUCK TO MOVE THE BOAT. NEVER ATTEMPT TO LIFT THE BOAT WITH A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF WATER IN THE BILGE. SEVERE GELCOAT CRACKING OR MORE SERIOUS HULL DAMAGE CAN OCCUR DURING HAULING AND LAUNCHING IF PRESSURE IS CREATED ON THE GUNWALES (SHEER) BY THE SLINGS.
be putting pressure on the lifting strakes. NOTICE BOATS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY TRAILERS, LIFTS AND CRADLES THAT DON’T PROPERLY SUPPORT THE HULL. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE BUNKS AND ROLLERS ARE ADJUSTED SO THEY ARE NOT PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE LIFTING STRAKES AND ARE PROVIDING ENOUGH SUPPORT FOR THE HULL. HULL DAMAGE RESULTING FROM IMPROPER CRADLE OR TRAILER SUPPORT IS NOT COVERED BY THE PURSUIT WARRANTY. Preparing The Boat For Storage • Pump out the head.
13.2 Winterizing Freshwater System The entire freshwater system must be completely drained. Disconnect all hoses, check valves, etc. and blow all the water from the system. Make sure the hot water heater and freshwater tank are completely drained. Use only very low air pressure when doing this to prevent possible system damage. Because of the check valve mechanism built in the pump, blowing the lines will not remove the water from the freshwater pump. Remove the inlet and outlet hoses on the pump.
Bilge Coat all metal components, wire busses, and connector plugs in the bilge with a protecting oil. It is also important to protect all pumps, seacocks and steering components. The bilge pump and bilge pump lines must be completely free of water and dried out when the boat is laid-up for the winter in climates where freezing occurs. Compartments in the bilge that will not drain completely should be pumped out and then sponged until completely free of water.
