Chapter 1: PROPULSION SYSTEM 3000 Express 1.1 General The Pursuit 3000 Express is designed to be powered with twin gasoline or diesel inboard engines. Each manufacturer of the various marine power components provides an owner’s information manual with its product. It is important that you read the manual(s) very carefully and become familiar with the proper care and operation of the engines and drive systems.
Inboard Drive System 1.2 Drive Systems On inboard propulsion systems, all shifting and gearing components are installed inside the hull. Only the propeller shafts and associated equipment are under water. The engines are mounted below the bridge deck sole. A transmission, also called a gearbox, which performs desired shifting functions, is directly coupled to each engine. The propeller shaft extends through the hull and connects the transmission output coupling with the propeller.
Inboard boats use the exhaust system to relinquish exhaust gases and cooling water. A periodic inspection of the hoses, mufflers and related parts should be made to insure that leaks or heat deterioration have not resulted. Periodically inspect these items for signs of deterioration or damage. Replace them as necessary. DO NOT INHALE EXHAUST FUMES! EXHAUST CONTAINS CARBON MONOXIDE THAT IS COLORLESS AND ODORLESS. CARBON MONOXIDE IS A DANGEROUS GAS THAT IS POTENTIALLY LETHAL. 1.
• Reassemble the strainer making sure that all fasteners are tight. • Open the intake valve. • Start the engine and inspect the strainer for leaks. SHOULD AN ENGINE INTAKE, EXHAUST OR COOLING HOSE RUPTURE, TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND CLOSE THE ENGINE WATER INTAKE VALVE IMMEDIATELY. PROCEED, UNDER TOW IF NECESSARY, TO A SERVICE FACILITY FOR APPROPRIATE REPAIRS. MAINTAIN A CLOSE VISUAL WATCH ON THE PROBLEM HOSE AND THE BILGE WATER LEVEL. Inboard boats utilize an exhaust hose to relinquish cooling water.
Step 2: Install the key in the shaft. Step 3: Again, slide the propeller into position by hand. Please note that the key should not extend beyond the forward edge of the propeller hub. The propeller should reach the same spot as before. If it does not, the key has probably moved up the keyway, or the key does not fit properly in one or both of the keyways. Step 4: Install the propeller nuts. When installing the shaft nuts, take care not to tighten them too much.
1.6 Running Gear Shaft Logs and Dripless Seal The shaft logs, which are fastened into the hull bottom, allow the propeller shaft to extend and rotate through the hull. The shaft log is equipped with a special “Dripless” propeller shaft seal. To lubricate this seal, sea water from the engine cooling system is injected into the shaft seal through a hose that is connected to the engine and the shaft seal housing.
Struts The struts are the metal castings bolted to the bottom of the hull to secure the aft end of the propeller shafts. A replaceable cutlass bearing, also called a strut bearing, is used to minimize shaft wear. The strut bearing should be inspected once a year, or whenever the boat is hauled, to insure that there has been no damage or deterioration and that the strut bearing is not worn excessively. Upon inspection of the bearing, a small amount of play between the propeller shaft and bearing, .008" to .
Step 2: Hold the propeller shaft flange firmly against the transmission flange. Step 3: Try to insert a .004" feeler gauge at the top, the bottom and at both sides between the flanges. If it can be easily inserted between the flanges in any area, try inserting a larger feeler gauge until you determine the amount of variance. Step 4: While holding the transmission flange, turn the prop shaft 90 degrees and repeat step 3.
1.7 Engine Instrumentation The helm station is equipped with a set of engine instruments and/or alarms. These instruments allow the pilot to monitor the engine operational conditions. Close observation of these instruments allows the pilot to operate the engines at the most efficient level and could save the engines from serious costly damage. The instrumentation is unique to the type of inboard motors installed on your Pursuit. Some or all of the following gauges may be present.
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 running. Hour Meter The hour meter keeps a record of the operating time for the engine. The hour meters are located in the helm instrument panel or near the battery selector switches in the stern. Synchronizer Gauge (Optional) The synchronizer gauge indicates whether or not the engines are operating at the same RPM.
Compass The compass is on top of the console. To adjust the compass for your area, read the instructions on “Compass Compensation” given to you in the literature packet. The compass cannot be adjusted accurately at the factory because it must be compensated for the influence of the electrical equipment and electronics unique to your boat. Therefore, the compass should be adjusted by a professional after the electronics are installed and before operating the boat.

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.
the throttles so that the engines are running the same RPM (synchronized) can be done by listening to the engine sounds, or with an engine synchronizer. Attempting to synchronize the engines solely by using the tachometer readings or control lever placement generally will not work. When the engines are in proper synchronization, the throttle levers may not necessarily be even. Please refer to the engine or control manual for more information on the controls installed on your boat. 2.
IN SOME SITUATIONS, IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO ACCIDENTALLY START THE ENGINES IN GEAR WITH THE THROTTLES ABOVE IDLE IF THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE BOAT TO ACCELERATE UNEXPECTEDLY IN FORWARD OR REVERSE AND COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL, DAMAGE TO THE BOAT, OR INJURY TO PASSENGERS. ALWAYS TEST THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH PERIODICALLY AND CORRECT ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE USING THE BOAT. 2.
2.6 Trim Tabs The trim tabs are recessed into the hull on the transom. A dual rocker switch is used 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.
2.7 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 be serviced immediately. 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.
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. The trim tabs are equipped with a zinc anode to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Chapter 3: FUEL SYSTEM Diesel Fuel System 3.1 General The 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 and diesel 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.
Fuel Withdrawal Tubes The fuel withdrawal tubes are positioned in the fuel tanks to achieve optimum fuel usage, fuel line routing, etc. At certain speeds and hull trim angles, the fuel supply at the withdrawal tank location can increase or decrease accordingly. Be extremely careful when attempting to operate the boat when low on fuel. Though some fuel may be in the tank, the relative trim angle of the boat may cause the fuel to flow away from the withdrawal tubes.
3.2 Gasoline Engine Fuel System The fuel system on the Pursuit 3000 Express has two fuel tanks and two manual fuel valves. The port tank fills from the port gunnel and the starboard tank fills from the starboard gunnel. There is one “ON/OFF” valve for each engine fuel line . The fuel valves are located on the fuel tanks. The valves are off when the handle is perpendicular to the fuel flow. They should always be turned off before servicing the fuel filters or any other component of the fuel system.
Gasoline Fuel Filter Each gasoline engine is equipped with a spin on, water separator type fuel filter. The filter should be checked frequently and changed at least annually to assure an adequate supply of clean, dry fuel to the engine. It is recommended that the filters are inspected after the first 25 hours of use and then serviced as needed. Follow the engine or filter manufacturer’s instructions for servicing or replacing the fuel filters.
3.3 Diesel Engine Fuel System The diesel fuel system works much like the gas system. The main difference is the diesel system is not equipped with anti-siphon valves, and there is always a fuel return line for the engine that returns unused fuel to its respective fuel tank. Proper diesel engine operation requires a good supply of clean, dry diesel fuel. Improper marina fuel storage techniques, limited boat usage, etc. can cause the fuel to become contaminated.
3.4 Fueling Instructions FUEL IS VERY FLAMMABLE AND CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR AN EXPLOSION. BE CAREFUL WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANKS. NO SMOKING. NEVER FILL THE TANKS WHILE THE ENGINES ARE RUNNING. FILL THE FUEL TANKS IN AN OPEN AREA. DO NOT FILL THE TANKS NEAR OPEN FLAMES. TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE FUEL SYSTEM, USE ONLY A GOOD GRADE OF GASOLINE FOR GASOLINE ENGINES OR DIESEL FUEL FOR DIESEL ENGINES. DO NOT USE A FUEL THAT CONTAINS HARSH ADDITIVES OR IS AN ALCOHOL BLEND.
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. IF FUEL IS SPILLED ON THE WATER, EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION.
3.5 Fuel System Maintenance Periodically inspect all 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 and it should be replaced immediately if there is any sign of damage or deterioration.
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 ENGINES. BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINES, ALWAYS OPEN ALL HATCHES, WINDOWS, AND DOORS AND RUN THE BLOWER FOR AT LEAST FIVE (5) MINUTES TO COMPLETELY VENTILATE THE BOAT AFTER SERVICING THE FUEL SYSTEM.

Shower Sump Supplies 12-volt electrical current directly to the cabin drain float switch which automatically controls the cabin drain and shower sump pumps. This is a "push to reset" breaker that is normally on all the time unless tripped by an overload. Make sure this breaker is on before using the cabin sinks.
AB Switch (Optional) Used to switch the TV between the antenna and the dockside cable, whenever the optional TV and TV antenna are installed. It is mounted near the TABS unit below the companionway step. 4.3 110-Volt System The 110-volt AC system is fed by the shore power outlet or by the optional generator. It is wired totally separate from the 12-volt DC system and is equipped with an on-board galvanic isolation system.
Turn the dock side disconnect switch or circuit breaker to the “ON” position and check for proper polarity. If reverse polarity has been achieved, the red polarity indicator in the 110-volt panel will light. If this should happen, make sure the main breaker on the panel is in the “OFF” position and turn the dock power switch or breaker off. A special relay attached to the main breaker should automatically turn the main breaker off whenever reverse polarity is achieved.
110-Volt AC Accessory Breaker Panel The AC panel is located in the cabin. The following is a description of the AC panel equipment and the breakers that protect the accessories: AC Amp Meter Indicates the total amperage or current being drawn through the 110volt panel.

side power. Move the selector switch to the “OFF” position when disconnecting the dock side power or when no 110-volt AC power is being supplied. Move the selector switch to the “GENERATOR” position when the generator is being operated. Generator Operation Panel These switches control the starting, running, and stopping of the optional generator. The procedures may vary depending on the model and type of generator installed in your boat.
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. Remove the cables and clean the posts and cable clamps with a battery post cleaner or sandpaper as required. Coating the battery posts and cable clamps with petroleum jelly or silicone grease will protect them and reduce corrosion.
Chapter 5: FRESH WATER SYSTEM Fresh Water System 5.1 General The fresh water system consists of a potable water tank, distribution lines and a distribution pump. The pump is equipped with an automatic pressure switch and is located on the rear engine compartment bulkhead. The tank is filled through a labeled deck plate located on the gunnel. 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.
5.2 Fresh Water System Operation Fill the water supply tank slowly through the labeled deck plate. After filling the water tank, partially open all faucets. The Fresh Water System breaker on the cabin DC panel should be on. Allow the pump to run until all of the air is purged from the system and a steady stream of water is flowing from each outlet. Next, turn off the faucets one by one. As the pressure builds, the pump will automatically shut off.
A high pressure relief valve protects the system from excessive pressure. Always make sure all air is purged from the water heater and lines before activating the water heater breaker. Refer to the water heater owner’s manual for additional information. DO NOT SUPPLY CURRENT TO AN EMPTY WATER HEATER. DAMAGE TO THE HEATER WILL RESULT. THE SYSTEM MUST BE FILLED AND PRIMED BEFORE USING THE WATER HEATER. 5.
Shower water is drained from the head compartment by a sump pump system connected to the shower drain. An automatic float switch in the shower sump controls the pump. The pump is protected by the shower sump pump circuit breaker in the panel. After showering, let the cold water flow for a period of time to flush the drainage system of soap residue. The shower sump system is located in the bilge below the cabin steps.
THE WATER PRESSURE BREAKER SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE “OFF” POSITION WHENEVER LEAVING THE BOAT UNATTENDED OR WHEN THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM IS NOT IN USE.

Chapter 7: DRAINAGE SYSTEMS Drainage System 7.1 General All water is drained by gravity to overboard thru hull fittings located in the hull sides above the waterline. The drain thru hull fittings are equipped with PVC ball valves that are always open under normal operating conditions. Most drains are connected to the thru hull valves. In the event of an emergency, the valves can be closed to prevent sea water from entering the boat through the drainage system.
7.2 Cockpit Drains Your Pursuit has two scupper drains located in the rear of the cockpit. Water is channeled away from all hatches by a gutter or drain rail system. The water then drains overboard through the scupper drain system. 7.3 Hardtop and Radar Arch Drains There is a hole drilled in one of the leg bases to prevent water from being trapped within the leg and provide a wire chase for accessories.
A LOOSE DRAIN PLUG WILL ALLOW SEA WATER TO ENTER THE BILGE AND COULD CAUSE THE BOAT TO SINK. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CHECK THE DRAIN PLUG FREQUENTLY TO INSURE IT IS PROPERLY TIGHTENED. IMPORTANT: Any oil spilled in the bilge must be thoroughly removed and properly disposed of before operating the bilge pump. The discharge of oil from the bilge is illegal and subject to a fine.
7.7 Shower and Cabin Sink Drains The shower and cabin sinks are drained from the boat by a sump pump system connected to the shower and sink drains. All 3000 Express models are equipped with a separate sump pump for the head and galley sink drains located in the cabinet below the head compartment sink and another sump pump for the shower located in the bilge and accessed through a hatch under the cabin steps. Shower and Cabin Drain Sump Pump An automatic float switch in the sump controls the pump.
• Clean and inspect the shower and cabin sink drain sump system. Remove accumulated debris and flush with freshwater. Frequently test the automatic pump switches for proper operation. • Clean and flush the fishbox and cooler storage boxes with soap or a bilge cleaner and freshwater after each use to keep them clean and fresh. • Operate the thru hull valves once a month and service as required. Note: All drains and pumps must be properly winterized before winter lay-up.

Chapter 8: VENTILATION SYSTEM 8.1 Cabin Ventilation Ventilation to the cabin area is provided by three deck hatches and opening port windows. Port Windows The port windows are secured by cam action locks. The locks should be adjusted so they are tight enough to seal the windows in the closed position, but not so tight that they break the plastic. The cam locks are adjusted by turning the two allen head bolts located at the base of each cam lock.
8.3 Carbon Monoxide and Proper Ventilation FAILURE TO PROPERLY VENTILATE THE BOAT WHILE THE ENGINES ARE RUNNING MAY PERMIT CARBON MONOXIDE TO ACCUMULATE WITHIN THE CABIN. CARBON MONOXIDE IS A COLORLESS AND ODORLESS GAS THAT IS LETHAL WHEN INHALED. CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO PROPERLY VENTILATE THE BOAT AND TO AVOID CARBON MONOXIDE FROM ACCUMULATING IN THE BOAT WHENEVER AN ENGINE IS RUNNING.
ACTUATION OF THE CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR INDICATES THE PRESENCE OF CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) WHICH CAN BE FATAL. EVACUATE THE CABIN IMMEDIATELY. DO A HEAD COUNT TO CHECK THAT ALL PERSONS ARE ACCOUNTED FOR. DO NOT REENTER THE CABIN UNTIL IT HAS BEEN AIRED OUT AND THE PROBLEM FOUND AND CORRECTED. 8.4 Engine Compartment Ventilation All Pursuit inboard boats are equipped with engine compartment ventilation.
8.5 Maintenance • Periodically lubricate all hinges and latch assemblies with a light oil. • Periodically clean and coat gasket materials with silicone to help keep them pliable. • The opening cabin deck hatches, port windows and the curved section in each front corner of the windshield are made of acrylic plastic glass. Acrylic glass scratches easily. Never use a dry cloth or glass cleaning solutions on acrylic glass . Use a soft cloth and mild soap and water for routine cleaning.
Chapter 9: SAFETY EQUIPMENT 9.1 General Your boat and inboard engines 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.
• Monitor the engine gauges to determine the cause of the problem. • If necessary, shut off the engines and investigate until the cause of the problem is found. • If the boat is equipped with water sensors in the fuel filters, be sure to check them for excessive water. 9.3 Neutral Safety Switch Every control system has a neutral safety switch incorporated into it. This device prohibits the engines from being started while the shift lever is in any position other than the neutral position.
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. Pyrotechnic visual distress signals: Pyrotechnic visual distress signals must be Coast Guard approved, in serviceable condition, and readily accessible.
Sound Signaling Devices The navigation rules require sound signals to be made under certain circumstances. Recreational vessels also are required to sound fog signals during periods of reduced visibility. Therefore, you must have some means of making an efficient sound signal. Navigation Lights Recreational boats are required to display navigation lights between sunset and sunrise and other periods of reduced visibility (fog, rain, haze, etc.
situation, make sure all passengers have a life preserver on and go over the side and swim well upwind of the boat. This will keep you and your passengers well clear of any burning fuel that could be released and spread on the water as the boat burns or in the event of an explosion. When clear of the danger, check about and account for all those who were aboard with you. Give whatever assistance you can to anyone in need or in the water without a buoyant device.
IF THE AUTOMATIC FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM IS INSTALLED IN YOUR BOAT, THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE SYSTEM MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE INCLUDED. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU READ THE INFORMATION CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM IN THEORY AND OPERATION BEFORE USING YOUR BOAT. 9.6 Carbon Monoxide Monitoring System CARBON MONOXIDE IS A LETHAL, TOXIC GAS THAT IS COLORLESS AND ODORLESS. IT IS A DANGEROUS GAS THAT WILL CAUSE DEATH IN CERTAIN LEVELS.
Drug or alcohol use increases the effect of CO exposure. Individuals with cardiac or respiratory conditions are very susceptible to the dangers of carbon monoxide.

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 Chapter 9 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 ON BOARD 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.
After Starting the Engines: • Check the engine gauges. Make sure they are reading normally. • Visibly check the engines to be sure there are no apparent water, fuel or oil leaks. • Check the operation of the engine cooling systems by inspecting the transom exhaust ports for water flow. (Refer to section 1.4) • Check the steering and engine controls for proper operation. • Make sure all lines, cables, anchors, etc. for securing a boat are on board and in good condition.
DO NOT OPERATE THE BOAT UNLESS IT IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED. KEEP ALL FASTENERS TIGHT. KEEP ADJUSTMENTS ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATIONS. • Always operate the blowers when operating the boat below cruising speed. • Avoid sea conditions that are beyond the skill and experience of you and your crew. • Before operating the boat for the first time, read the engine break-in procedures. The breakin procedures are found in the owner’s manual for the engines. The manual is in the literature packet.
• Fill the fuel tanks to near full to reduce condensation. Allow enough room in the tanks f o r the fuel to expand without being forced out through the vent. • Turn off all electrical equipment except the automatic bilge pumps. • If you are going to leave the boat for a long period of time, put the battery main switches in the “OFF” position and close all seacocks. • Make sure the boat is securely moored. TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE BOAT, CLOSE ALL SEACOCKS BEFORE LEAVING THE BOAT. 10.
10.6 Fishing Fishing can be very exciting and distracting for the operator when the action gets intense. You must always be conscious of the fact that your primary responsibility is the safe operation of your boat and the safety of your passengers and other boats in the area. You must always make sure the helm is properly manned and is never left unattended while trolling. If your boat is equipped with a tower, caution and good common sense must be exercised whenever someone is in the tower.
• Do not operate the boat in tight quarters, such as marinas, from the tower. The operator is isolated from the boat while in the tower and will not be able to assist in docking procedures. • Always pay close attention to your grip and footing on the tower ladders. Your ability to achieve a good grip and proper footing is reduced in wet or rough weather. Therefore, the tower should be avoided in these conditions.
10.8 Transporting Your Boat The Pursuit 3000 Express is a large boat and should only be trailered by professionals that have the knowledge and equipment to move large boats without causing damage. Please contact your dealer or the Pursuit Customer Relations Department if you are planning to transport your boat and have any questions in regard to the proper equipment and support for the hull. BOATS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY TRAILERS THAT DON’T PROPERLY SUPPORT THE HULL.
Chapter 11: EXTERIOR EQUIPMENT 11.1 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. The stern is equipped with a hawse pipe and cleat system. Mooring lines should be fed through the hawse pipes then secured to the stern cleats. Be sure a clear lead exists when running dock lines or anchor lines.
The anchor locker is drained by thru hull fittings in the hull side near the bottom of the locker. It is very important to check the drains frequently to make sure they are clean and free flowing. 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 LOCKER. A LOOSE ANCHOR IN THE ANCHOR LOCKER WILL BOUNCE AND CAN DAMAGE THE BOAT.
Windshield The Pursuit 3000 Express is equipped with a vented heavy duty aluminum windshield with tinted glass and built in hand rails. The windshield is equipped with an opening vent panel on each side of the windshield. To open the vent, release the locking T-handles and open the vent to the desired position. Lock the vent in place by turning the Thandles 1/4 turn. The friction of the T-handle in the guide will hold the vent in that position. The front and side wing panels are tempered safety glass.
Trim Tabs The trim tabs are recessed into the hull below the swim platform. The trim tabs are an important part of the control systems. Please refer to the Helm Control Systems chapter for detailed information on the trim tabs. 11.3 Cockpit IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS, OPEN EXTERIOR DOORS AND HATCHES THAT ARE NOT SECURED PROPERLY CAN SLAM CLOSED UNEXPECTEDLY AND CAUSE INJURY TO PASSENGERS OR DAMAGE TO THE BOAT.
A large tackle locker is built into the helm seat base. The tackle locker is lockable and has four storage drawers. Ice Maker A 110-volt ice maker is supplied as optional equipment and is mounted in the prep/entertainment center. The ice maker operates on 110-volt AC power only. The ice maker door has a special latch to secure the door while under way, make sure the door is properly secured whenever the boat is moving.
Stern Seat A recessed fold down seat is built into the rear of the cockpit. To use the seat, release the latches by pulling sharply on the lower edge of the seat. Then pull the strap at the bottom of the seat toward the cockpit. The seat will move into the proper position as it slides out from the stored position. Make sure the rear of the seat locks into the slot in the center of the recess. To store the seat, pull the seat forward and simultaneously push the front down and toward the rear of the cockpit.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE HELM BE OPENED WHEN THE ENGINE(S) ARE RUNNING. IN SOME SITUATIONS IT IS POSSIBLE TO ACCIDENTALLY ENGAGE THE ENGINE SHIFT INTO GEAR AND/OR ADVANCE THROTTLE CONTROLS AS THE HELM IS OPENING. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL, DAMAGE TO THE BOAT, AND INJURY TO PASSENGERS. Cabin door The sliding cabin door is made of acrylic plastic glass and slides on a top and bottom track. A lockable latch secures the door in the closed position.
Attach the clear connector to the zipper at the front of the top and snap it to the brow and the top of the windshield frame beginning with the center snaps. If the bimini top is adjusted properly, the clear connector will have to be stretched just enough to pull out the wrinkles and reach the snaps on the windshield. The front bow will continue to bear the main load of the top. Once the clear connector is completely installed, the side curtains can be put on.
The warranty for the hard top or arch will be void if they are 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.

Chapter 12: INTERIOR EQUIPMENT 12.1 Head Compartment and Marine Toilet The head compartment is equipped with a sink, hot and cold faucet that converts to a shower by pulling the faucet out of the base. A special seat folds down over the toilet to make showering more comfortable. Storage is in the vanity over the counter top and behind the door under the sink. Daylight and ventilation is provided by an opening port light above the sink. There is also a 12-volt overhead light. A 110-volt G.F.I.
The vacuum generator is mounted on the holding tank and contains stored vacuum. System vacuum is monitored by a vacuum switch which is located on the vacuum generator tank. When the switch senses a drop in vacuum in the system, it automatically signals the pump to energize and bring the vacuum back to operating level. This process is normally completed in less than two minutes. It is normal for the stored vacuum to leak down slightly between flushes, causing the vacuum pump to run for a short period.
IN MANY AREAS IT IS ILLEGAL TO FLUSH HEAD WASTE DIRECTLY OVERBOARD. VIOLATION OF THESE POLLUTION LAWS CAN RESULT IN FINES OR IMPRISONMENT. ALWAYS KNOW THE LAW FOR THE AREAS IN WHICH YOU BOAT. NEVER DUMP HEAD OR HOLDING TANK WASTE OVERBOARD ILLEGALLY. Maintenance The head should be cleaned and inspected for leaks regularly. The holding tank should be pumped out and flushed as needed. Periodically add chemical to the head to help control odor and to chemically break down the waste.
Stove The galley is equipped with a single burner electric stove recessed into the counter top. To activate the stove, make sure the stove breaker in the AC breaker panel is on and remove the stove cover. Then turn the control knob on the stove clockwise to turn the burner on. A manual for the stove is included with your boat. It is extremely important that you read the manual and become familiar with the proper care and operation of the stove before attempting to use it.
12.3 Convertible Dinette and Table The dinette is on the starboard side of the cabin. It is equipped with a table and two lounge seats that will seat four people when the table is in the up position. There is a storage compartment below a hatch under each seat cushion. If the optional air conditioning is installed, the rear lounge seat storage area will be occupied by the air conditioning unit and should not be used for storage.
Please read the owner's manual supplied by the detector manufacturer for operation instructions and additional information regarding the hazards of carbon monoxide gas. Also read more about carbon monoxide, carbon monoxide detectors, and proper ventilation in the Ventilation Systems and Safety Equipment chapters in this manual. This is especially essential if your boat is equipped with the optional generator.
12.5 V-Berth A large v-berth is located in bow area of the cabin forward of the dinette and hanging locker. There are storage compartments below hatches under each v-berth cushion Daylight and fresh air is provided to this area by an overhead opening hatch. Additional lighting is provided by two 12-volt lights on the forward bulkhead. TV/VCR The optional TV/VCR is mounted to a special bracket located on the top of the hanging locker.

Chapter 13: ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 13.1 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.
Boats stored in salt water will normally need to have the anodes replaced every 6 months to one year. Anodes requiring replacement more frequently may indicate a stray current problem within the boat or at the slip or marina. Anodes that do not need to be replaced after one year may not be providing the proper protection. Loose or low quality anodes could be the problem. Contact your dealer for the proper size and type of zinc anodes to be used and the specific installation procedure.
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. Hardtops with aluminum frames, Bimini tops and towers with canvas and/or fiberglass tops require special attention to the anodized aluminum just below the top.
Do not use the following on acrylic glass: Abrasive cleaners Solvents Glass cleaners Acetone Alcohol Cleaners containing ammonia 13.2 Upholstery, Canvas and Enclosures Vinyl Upholstery The vinyl upholstery used on the exterior seats and bolsters, and for the headliner in some cabins, should be cleaned periodically with soap and water. Any stain, spill or soiling should be cleaned up promptly to prevent the possibility of permanent staining. When cleaning, always rub gently.
shorten the life of the vinyl that is used for clear curtains. After cleaning the curtains and allowing them to dry, apply a non-lemon furniture polish or an acrylic glass and clear plastic protector to extend the life of the curtains. Vinyl curtains should be stored either rolled or flat, without folds or creases. Folding the curtains will make permanent creases that could cause the vinyl to crack. DO NOT USE ANY POLISH CONTAINING LEMON SCENTS OR LEMON.
ALWAYS READ THE LABEL CAREFULLY ON MILDEW PROTECTORS. REMOVE THE PROTECTOR AND ALLOW THE CABIN TO VENTILATE COMPLETELY BEFORE USING THE CABIN. 13.4 Bilge and Engine Compartment To keep the bilge clean and fresh, use a commercial bilge cleaner regularly. Follow the directions carefully. The engines and engine room should be kept clean and free of oil accumulation and debris.
Avoid using fuels with alcohol additives. Gasoline that is an alcohol blend will absorb moisture from the air which can reach such concentrations that "phase separation" can occur whereby the water and alcohol mixture becomes heavy enough to settle out of the gasoline to the bottom of the tank. Since the fuel pick up tube is very near the bottom of the tank, phase separation can cause the engine to run very poorly or not at all.
• Frequently test the automatic bilge pump switch for proper operation. This is accomplished by inserting a stiff wire or small rod through one of the slots in the float chamber of the pump and lifting the float switch until the pump is activated. You can also use a garden hose to flood the bilge until the water level is high enough to activate the pump. • Flush all gravity drains with freshwater to keep them clean and free flowing. • Operate the thru hull valves once a month and service as required.
Chapter 14: SEASONAL MAINTENANCE 14.1 Lay-up and Storage Before Hauling: • Pump out the head. Flush the holding tank using clean water and a deodorizer. Pump out the cleaning solution. • 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 vents.
Lifting Sling locations It is essential that care be used when lifting your boat. Make sure the spreader bar at each sling is at least as long as the distance across the widest point of the boat that the sling will surround. Put the slings in position. Refer to the drawing above for the correct position of the lifting slings. The fore and aft slings should be tied together to prevent the slings from sliding on the hull. The bow should be slightly higher than the stern while lifting the boat.
Supporting The Boat For Storage A trailer or a well-made cradle is the best support for your boat during storage. When storing the boat on a trailer for a long period: • Make sure the rollers and pads support the hull of the boat. • Make sure the trailer is on a level surface and the bow is high enough so that water will drain from the bilge, cockpit and exhaust system. • The trailer must properly support the hull.
• Remove all oxidation from the exterior hardware, and apply a light film of moisture displacing lubricant. • Remove propellers and grease the propeller shafts using light waterproof grease. • Remove the batteries and store in a cool place. Clean using clear, clean water. Be sure the batteries have sufficient water and clean terminals. Keep the batteries charged and safe from freezing throughout the storage period.
from all freshwater faucets. Be sure to open all hot and cold water faucets, including the freshwater shower in the cockpit and the faucet in the entertainment center. Make sure antifreeze has flowed through all of the freshwater drains. The shower/cabin drain sump system must be properly winterized. Clean debris from the drain and sump and flush for several minutes with fresh clean water. After the system is clean, pump the drain sump as dry as possible.
Note: Make sure you follow the marine toilet manufacturer's winterizing instructions exactly. Air Conditioner Disconnect and drain the air conditioner intake and discharge hoses. Remove all water from the sea strainer and thru hull fitting. Allow all water to drain from the system. The air conditioner components must be properly winterized by following winterizing procedure in the air conditioner owner’s manual.
Special Notes Prior To Winter Storage If the boat will be in outside storage, properly support a storage cover and secure it over the boat. It is best to have a frame built over the boat to support the canvas. It should be a few inches wider than the boat so the canvas will clear the rails and allow passage of air. If this cover is fastened too tightly there will be inadequate ventilation and this can lead to mildew, moisture accumulation, etc.
MAKE SURE THE MUFFLERS HAVE NOT BEEN DAMAGED DURING WINTER STORAGE AND THAT THE DRAIN PLUGS ARE INSTALLED AND PROPERLY TIGHTENED. LOOSE OR MISSING DRAIN PLUGS AND DAMAGED OR LEAKING MUFFLERS OR EXHAUST HOSES WILL ALLOW CARBON MONOXIDE, ENGINE GASES, AND WATER INTO THE BILGE CREATING A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS CONDITION. Note: Not all mufflers are equipped with drain plugs. Reactivating The Boat After Storage: • Charge and install the batteries. • Install the drain plug in the hull.
• Carefully monitor the gauges and check for leakage and abnormal noises. • Operate the boat at slow speeds until the engine temperature stabilizes and all systems are operating normally.
