2.6 Steering System
Hydraulic Steering System
The hydraulic steering system is 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 motor 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.
2.7 Trim Tabs (Optional)
Pursuit uses a dual toggle switch to control the trim tabs.
The switch is labeled and controls bow up and down
movements. It also controls starboard and port up and
down movements. Bow up and bow down will control the
hull planing attitude while port and starboard up and down
provides control for the hull listing.
Before leaving the dock, make sure that the tabs are in the
full “UP” position by holding the control in the bow up
position for ten (10) seconds.
