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. If adjustment becomes necessary, see your
Pursuit dealer.
DO NOT ATTEMPT CONTROL SYSTEM ADJUSTMENTS UNLESS YOU ARE FAMILIAR
WITH CONTROL SYSTEM SERVICING PROCEDURES. MISADJUSTMENT CAN CAUSE LOSS
OF CONTROL AND SEVERE ENGINE OR LOWER UNIT DAMAGE.
Steering System Maintenance
A periodic inspection of all steering cables, hoses, linkage and helm assemblies should be made.
Signs of corrosion, cracking, loosening of fastenings, excessive wear, or deterioration should be
immediately corrected. Generally, periodic lubrication of all moving parts and connections with
a light waterproof grease is in order. 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 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 are installed at the factory as part of the trim tab option
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.
