Chapter 1: PROPULSION SYSTEM 1.1 General The Pursuit 3070 Center Console is designed to be powered with twin 2-cycle or 4-cycle outboard motors. Each manufacturer of the various outboard motors 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 engine and drive system.
DO NOT INHALE EXHAUST FUMES! EXHAUST CONTAINS CARBON MONOXIDE THAT IS COLORLESS AND ODORLESS. CARBON MONOXIDE IS A DANGEROUS GAS THAT IS POTENTIALLY LETHAL. 1.2 Drive System 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.
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. As with 2-cycle engines, use only the type of oil specified by the engine manufacturer. 1.4 Engine Cooling System Outboard engines are raw water (seawater) cooled.
RUNNING AGROUND OR STRIKING AN UNDERWATER OBSTRUCTION CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO PASSENGERS 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.
CONTINUED OPERATION OF AN OVERHEATED ENGINE CAN RESULT IN ENGINE SEIZURE. IF AN UNUSUALLY HIGH TEMPERATURE READING OCCURS, SHUT THE ENGINE OFF IMMEDIATELY. THEN INVESTIGATE AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM. Fuel Gauge The fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel in the fuel tanks. The fuel gauge switch, located on the helm, is used to switch the gauge reading to the port or starboard fuel tank. Voltmeter The voltmeter displays the voltage for the battery and the charging system.
Compass The compass is on top of the helm. 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 as 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 and additional electrical accessories 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.
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.
THE ENGINE HOSES AND CABLES OR THE TRANSOM GEL COAT CAN BE DAMAGED BY TILTING THE ENGINES TO THE FULL UP POSITION WITH THE ENGINES TURNED TO THE WRONG POSITION. MOST TWIN ENGINE AND SINGLE ENGINE BOATS REQUIRE THE STEERING WHEEL TO BE TURNED COMPLETELY TO STARBOARD BEFORE TILTING THE ENGINES TO THE FULL UP POSITION. YOU SHOULD MONITOR THE ENGINES AS THEY TILT TO DETERMINE BEST FULL TILT ENGINE POSITION FOR YOUR BOAT.
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.
Be extremely careful when operating in a following sea. The effect of trim tabs is amplified under such conditions. Steering and handling difficulties can result from improper trim tab usage, particularly in a following sea. Always raise the tabs to the full bow up position in these conditions. When running at high speeds be sure that the tabs are in the full “UP” position. Only enough trim plane action should be used to compensate for any listing. Trim tabs are extremely sensitive at high speeds.
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 pump is located behind the access hatch in the starboard rear of the cockpit. The trim tab fluid should be checked often.
Chapter 3: 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.
The fuel gauge switch located on the helm is used to switch the gauge reading to the port or starboard fuel tank. Note: The fuel gauge switch will not have any effect on the fuel supply to the engines. The fuel supply must be controlled by the valves located near the fuel withdrawal tubes on the fuel tanks. Fuel Fills A fuel fill deck plate is located on each gunnel, and is marked “GAS.” The fuel fill is opened by turning it counter clockwise with a special key.
3.2 Outboard Fuel System The outboard fuel system on the Pursuit 3070 has two fuel tanks and four manual “ON/OFF” fuel valves that are labeled to indicate the engine the valve will supply. The fuel valves are located on the top of the fuel tanks below the inspection plates in the rear of the cockpit. The valves are off when the handle is perpendicular to the fuel flow.
It is recommended that the filters are inspected periodically and the elements changed as needed. See Fuel System Maintenance for additional information on the fuel filter. Note: Some fuel injected engines have fuel filters on the engine and do not allow external fuel filters. If your boat is equipped with fuel injected engine(s), it may not have a separate water separator fuel filter. 3.3 Fueling Instructions FUEL IS VERY FLAMMABLE. BE CAREFUL WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANKS. NO SMOKING.
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 IS DANGEROUS AND CAN YELLOW FIBERGLASS OR IGNITE. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT SPILL ANY FUEL. IF FUEL IS SPILLED ON THE DECK, USE A CLOTH TO REMOVE THE FUEL AND PROPERLY DISPOSE OF THE CLOTH ON SHORE. IF FUEL IS SPILLED ON THE WATER, EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION. FUEL FLOATS ON TOP OF THE WATER AND CAN IGNITE.
The age of gasoline can affect engine performance. Chemical changes occur as the gasoline ages that can cause deposits and varnish in the fuel system as well as reduce the octane rating of the fuel. Severely degraded fuel can damage the engine and boat fuel tank and lines. Therefore, if your boat is not being run enough to require at least one full tank of fresh fuel a month, a fuel stabilizer should be added to the gasoline to protect the fuel from degradation.
Chapter 4: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 4.1 General Your Pursuit is equipped with 12-volt DC and AC electrical systems. The AC system draws current from shore power outlets at dockside. The DC system draws current from three on board batteries. The 12-volt batteries in your boat are of the lead-acid type. They will require similar maintenance as those found in automobiles. (DO NOT USE GEL- CELL BATTERIES.) There are electrical schematics included in this manual to aid in following an individual circuit of the boat.
PROPER FUSE OR BREAKER PROTECTION MUST BE PROVIDED FOR ALL 12VOLT EQUIPMENT ADDED. DO NOT OVERLOAD THE ACCESSORY CIRCUIT BREAKERS OR OTHER CIRCUITRY THROUGH ADDITIONAL 12-VOLT EQUIPMENT. Battery Switches There are three “ON” - “OFF” battery switches located on the front of the TABS unit which is located behind a hatch at the starboard rear of the cockpit. The switches are activated using special keys that are attached to the unit.
Note: Current is supplied to the automatic float switches for the bilge pumps when the batteries are connected and the battery switches are off. 12-Volt Accessory Switch Panels The main accessory switch panels are located at the helm. The circuit breakers that protect the accessories are located in another panel on the helm below the switches.
Spreader Lights Activates the flood lights located on the optional radar arch or hardtop. These lights provide additional lighting for the rear of the cockpit. Parallel The battery parallel switch is a momentary switch that will connect all three batteries in parallel for extra battery power while starting the engines. A red LED light on the front of the TABS unit indicates that the parallel switch is activated. Trim Tab Switch Located in the helm.
12-Volt Receptacle (2) Provides electrical current for portable 12-volt equipment. Holding Tank Macerator The holding tank overboard discharge macerator switch is located in the holding tank fluid level monitor panel in the head compartment. It is a momentary switch that activates the overboard macerator discharge system for the holding tank. Refer to the Marine Head System in the Interior Equipment chapter for additional information on the operation of the overboard macerator discharge system.
Cabin DC Accessory Breaker Panel Power is distributed to most of the 12-volt accessories through individual circuit breakers located in the cabin DC breaker panel. A main breaker located on the TABS protects the system from an overload. Some 12-volt accessories are operated directly by the circuit breaker in the panel while others are operated by switches fed by the panel breakers.
Stereo (Optional) Supplies 12-volt electrical current to the stereo. Helm Main Supples 12-volt electrical current to the breakers and switches in the helm switch panels. Electronics Main Reserved for electronics installations. Head Macerator Supplies electrical current to the switch, that controls the macerator overboard discharge pump for the holding tank. This breaker should be in the “OFF” position except when pumping out the holding tank.
Engine Circuit Breakers or Fuses There are circuit breakers or fuses located on each engine that provide protection for the ignition systems, electric fuel pump, charging system and other accessories unique to the engines installed in your boat. Please refer to the engine owner's manual for information on the circuit breakers or fuses installed on your engines. 4.3 AC System The AC system is fed by the shore power outlet.
Recommended procedure for making a shore connection Turn the AC main breaker to the “OFF” position. If the dock side outlet includes a disconnect switch, turn it to the “OFF” position also. To avoid strain on the cable make sure it has more slack than the mooring lines. Dress the cable so that it cannot be damaged by chafing between the boat and the dock. Make sure the cable does not come in contact with the water.
Disconnecting Procedure for Shore Power Connection Turn the main breaker on the AC panel and the disconnect switch on the dock side outlet to the “OFF” positions. Disconnect the cable from the dock side outlet and replace the outlet caps. Disconnect the cable from the boat and close the inlet cap. Store cable. AC Accessory Breaker Panel The AC breaker panel is located in the head compartment.
Outlets Supply electrical current to the cabin ground fault interrupter (GFI) electrical outlets. Note: All AC electrical outlets are provided with ground fault interrupters to protect against electric shock. These outlets should be tested periodically to ensure proper operation by pressing the test/reset buttons in the center of the face plate. GFI outlets do not protect against short circuits and overloads. This is done by the outlet breakers on the AC panel.
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: FRESHWATER SYSTEM 5.1 General The freshwater 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 in the stern bilge. An inline strainer located near the pump protects the system from debris. The tank is filled through a labeled deck plate located on the gunnel. DO NOT FILL SYSTEM WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN WATER.
DO NOT ALLOW THE FRESHWATER PUMP TO RUN DRY. THE FRESHWATER PUMP WORKS ON DEMAND AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE TANK IS EMPTY. THIS CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE PUMP. ALWAYS TURN THE WATER PRESSURE BREAKER OFF WHEN THE FRESHWATER SYSTEM IS NOT IN USE. 5.3 Shore Water Connection (Optional) The shore water connection allows the direct connection of the water system to a shore side water supply.
5.5 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: • Remove the filter screens from the faucet spouts and eliminate any accumulation of debris. A build up of debris can cause the pump to cycle excessively.
THE WATER PRESSURE BREAKER SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE “OFF” POSITION WHENEVER LEAVING THE BOAT UNATTENDED OR WHEN THE FRESHWATER SYSTEM IS NOT IN USE.
Chapter 6: RAW WATER SYSTEM 6.1 General In the raw or seawater systems, all water pumps are supplied by hoses connected to ball valves and thru hull fittings 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 seawater to most of the various accessories. Priming the System Make sure the ball valves are open.
The Washdown Pump Connector The washdown pump hose connector 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 Seawater is provided to the livewell by a 12-volt diaphragm pump. This pump is designed to carry a constant flow of water to the livewell. The pump is activated by the baitwell switch in the cockpit. The baitwell switch also activates the light in the livewell. An overflow built into the livewell automatically controls the water level in the livewell. Always turn the pump off at the switch panel when the livewell is not in use.
6.4 Raw Water System Maintenance The following items should be done routinely to help maintain your raw water system: • Check hoses, particularly the seawater supply lines, for signs of deterioration. • Remove and clean the seawater strainers for the livewell, bait locker and washdown pump, as needed. • Spray pumps and thru hull valves with a protective oil periodically. • The fishboxes and livewells should be drained and cleaned after each use.
Chapter 7: DRAINAGE SYSTEMS 7.1 General All water is drained to overboard thru hull fittings located in the hull sides above the waterline. The head compartment and some cockpit component drain thru hull fittings are equipped with PVC ball valves that are always open under normal operating conditions. In the event of an emergency, the valves can be closed to prevent seawater from entering the boat through the drainage system.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE LEG DRAIN HOLES ARE CLEAR WHEN THE BOAT IS LAID UP FOR THE WINTER. WATER TRAPPED INSIDE THE LEGS COULD FREEZE AND CAUSE THE LEGS TO SPLIT. 7.4 Bilge Drainage The bilge pumps are activated both manually, by a switch in the helm station, and automatically, by a float switch. The automatic float switches remain activated when the battery switches are in the “OFF” position and the batteries are connected. All bilge pumps pump water out of thru hulls located above the waterline in the hull.
7.5 Fishbox, Cooler and Storage Compartment Drains The console cooler is drained overboard by gravity. The storage compartments and rod holders located in the bow are drained by gravity to the bilge. The forward fishboxes/storage compartments are drained overboard by gravity to thru hull fittings in the hull sides. The livewell in the stern is also drained by gravity to a thru hull fitting in the hull above the waterline. The livewell should be flushed out and cleaned after each use.
7.8 Rope Locker Drains The rope locker drains overboard through a special drain fitting located in the hull side at the bottom of the rope locker. It is important to inspect the drain frequently to remove any accumulated debris. 7.9 Drainage System 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. • Clean the T-top leg drain holes.
Chapter 8: VENTILATION SYSTEM 8.1 Head Compartment Ventilation Port Window 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. 8.2 Bilge Compartment Ventilation All 3070 Center Console models are equipped with ventilation for the bilge compartment.

Holding Tank and Macerator Discharge Pump The holding tank is located in the compartment behind the center bow storage hatch. When the tank is full, the tank monitor will show full and the vacuum pump will not run. The tank must either be pumped out by an approved waste dumping station through the waste deck fitting or be pumped overboard with the optional macerator discharge pump, when legal to do so. There is no Y-valve in this system.
10.3 Head Compartment Features Vanity and Sink The head compartment has a vanity that is equipped with a sink with a faucet. The holding tank monitor and macerator pump out switch is also located in the vanity. A door in the vanity provides access to the storage area below the sink and the sink plumbing. The head floor has a drain connected to a sump pump in the center bilge behind the access hatch in the rear head bulkhead. An opening port light above the sink provides daylight and ventilation.
Bilge Access Hatch A hatch near the floor in the aft bulkhead provides access to the center bilge and the equipment mounted there. The bilge pump, shower drain sump pump, and the macerator overboard discharge thru hull valve are among the equipment accessed through this hatch. There is also access to the bilge below the bottom step in the head compartment. Bilge Access Hatch Hanging Locker A hanging locker is located on the forward bulkhead in the head compartment between the sink and the cabin door.
Chapter 11: SAFETY EQUIPMENT 11.1 General Your boat and outboard 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.
11.3 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 and should be inspected and tested periodically to ensure the switch is working. If the engines will not start, slight movement of the shift levers may be necessary to locate the neutral position and disengage the safety cutout switch.
Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) PFDs must be Coast Guard approved, in good and serviceable condition, and of appropriate size for the intended user. Wearable PFDs must be readily accessible, meaning you must be able to put them on in a reasonable amount of time in an emergency. Though not required, the Coast Guard emphasizes that PFDs should be worn at all times when the vessel is underway. Throwable devices must be immediately available for use.
• Electric Distress Light. (Night use only) The electric distress light is accepted for night use only and must automatically flash the international SOS distress signal. Under Inland Navigation Rules, a high intensity white light flashing at regular intervals from 50-70 times per minute is considered a distress signal. Fire Extinguishers At least one fire extinguisher is required on all Pursuit boats.
GASOLINE CAN EXPLODE. IN THE EVENT OF A FUEL COMPARTMENT OR BILGE FIRE, YOU MUST MAKE THE DIFFICULT DECISION TO FIGHT THE FIRE OR ABANDON THE BOAT. YOU MUST CONSIDER YOUR SAFETY, THE SAFETY OF YOUR PASSENGERS, THE INTENSITY OF THE FIRE AND THE POSSIBILITY OF AN EXPLOSION IN YOUR DECISION. Sound Signaling Devices The navigation rules require sound signals to be made under certain circumstances. Recreational vessels are also required to sound fog signals during periods of reduced visibility.
11.7 Additional Safety Equipment Besides meeting the legal requirements, prudent boaters carry additional safety equipment. This is particularly important if you operate your boat offshore. You should consider the following items, depending on how you use your boat. Satellite EPIRBs EPIRBs (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) operate as part of a worldwide distress system. When activated, EPIRBs will send distress code homing beacons that allow Coast Guard aircraft to identify and find them quickly.
Chapter 12: OPERATION 12.1 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 boat. Please read them carefully.
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. SAILBOATS UNDER POWER ARE CONSIDERED MOTOR BOATS. Crossing Situations When two motor boats are crossing, the boat on the right has the right of way. The boat with the right of way should maintain its course and speed.
12.3 Pre-Cruise 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.
• Check the controls and steering for smooth and proper operation. • Make sure all lines, cables, anchors, etc. for securing a boat are on board and in good condition. All lines should be coiled, secured and off the decks when underway. • Have a safe cruise and enjoy yourself. Remember: When you operate a boat, you accept the responsibility for the boat, for the safety of passengers and for others out enjoying the water.
Note: For more instructions on safety, equipment and boat handling, enroll in one of the several free boating courses offered. For information on the courses offered in your area, call the “Boating Safety Hotline,” 800-368-5647, or the “Boat U.S. Foundation Course Hotline,” 1-800-336-2628, for further information on boating safety courses. Note: If the drive unit hits an underwater object, stop the engine. Inspect the drive unit for damage.
12.5 Tower Operation (Dealer Option) Your boat could be equipped with a fabricated aluminum tower by your dealer. Towers are normally equipped with full engine controls, trim tab controls, compass, engine alarms, restart buttons and tachometers. This allows for complete operation of the boat from the tower. Operation of the Tower Controls The engines should be started at the lower helm.
• Always put the boat in NEUTRAL before moving to and from the tower helm and cockpit. GOOD COMMON SENSE, JUDGMENT AND EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE EXERCISED WHEN OPERATING A BOAT WITH SOMEONE IN THE TOWER. DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE IN THE TOWER WHEN THE WATER IS ROUGH OR WHEN OPERATING IN UNFAMILIAR WATERS WHERE RUNNING AGROUND IS A POSSIBILITY. REMEMBER, WEIGHT IN THE TOWER RAISES THE BOAT'S CENTER OF GRAVITY AND THE BOAT'S MOTION IS GREATLY EXAGGERATED FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE TOWER. 12.
THE MOORING CLEATS ON PURSUIT BOATS ARE NOT DESIGNED OR INTENDED TO BE USED FOR TOWING PURPOSES. THESE CLEATS ARE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED AS MOORING CLEATS FOR SECURING THE BOAT TO A DOCK, PIER, ETC. DO NOT USE THESE FITTINGS FOR TOWING OR ATTEMPTING TO FREE A GROUNDED VESSEL. 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.

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 are 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.
checked monthly and changed when they are 75% of their original size. Always use the type and grade of anode recommended by the engine manufacturer of outboard and stern drive boats. When replacing the anodes, make sure the contact surfaces are clean, shiny metal and free of paint and corrosion. Never paint over the anode. Boats stored in saltwater will typically need to have the anodes replaced at least every 6 months to one year.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANY ABRASIVE MATERIALS SUCH AS SANDPAPER, BRONZE WOOL, OR STEEL WOOL BE USED ON STAINLESS STEEL. DAMAGE TO THE HARDWARE WILL RESULT. 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.
Acrylic Plastic Glass The windshield is made of acrylic glass which scratches easily. Never use a dry cloth or glass cleaning solutions on acrylic. Use a soft cloth and mild soap and water for routine cleaning. Solvents and products containing ammonia can permanently damage acrylic plastic glass. Fine scratches can be removed with a fine automotive clear coat polishing compound. A coat of automotive or boat wax is beneficial to protect the surface.
lacquer solvents or other harsh chemicals as they can cause permanent damage or shorten the life of vinyl. Never use steam heat, heat guns or hair dryers on vinyl. Stronger cleaners, detergents and solvents may be effective in stain removal, but can cause either immediate damage or slow deterioration. Lotions, sun tan oil, waxes and polishes, etc., contain oils and dyes that can cause stiffening and staining of vinyls. Vinyl Cleaning Tips: • Dry soil, dust and dirt - Remove with a soft cloth.
Snaps should be lubricated periodically with petroleum jelly or silicone grease. Zippers should be lubricated with silicone spray or paraffin. The T-top enclosure must be removed when transporting the boat. Canvas enclosures are not designed to withstand the extreme wind pressure encountered while trailering and will be damaged. Always remove and properly store the enclosure before trailering or having your boat transported by truck. 13.
13.5 Drainage System It is essential that the following items be done periodically to maintain proper drainage of your boat: • Clean the cockpit drains with a hose to remove debris that can block water drainage. • Clean the hardtop, tower or radar arch leg drain holes. This is especially important just before winter lay-up. • Frequently test the automatic bilge pump switch for proper operation.

Chapter 14: SEASONAL MAINTENANCE 14.1 Storage and Lay-up Before Hauling: • Pump out the head. Flush the holding tank using clean soap, 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 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 sling locations drawing 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. NOTICE NOTICE BOATS CAN BE DAMAGED FROM IMPROPER LIFTING AND TRANSPORTING WITH FORK LIFTS.
• The cradle or lift must be in the proper fore and aft position to properly support the hull. When the cradle or lift is in the correct location, the bunks should match the bottom of hull and should not be putting pressure on the lifting strakes. 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.
• Clean the exterior upholstery with a good vinyl cleaner and dry thoroughly. Spray the weather covers and boat upholstery with a spray disinfectant. Enclosed areas such as the shower basin, storage locker areas, etc. should also be sprayed with this disinfectant. 14.2 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 water heater and freshwater tank are completely drained.
Marine Toilet The marine toilet must be properly winterized by following the manufacturer’s winterizing instructions in the marine toilet owner’s manual. Drain the intake and discharge hoses completely using low air pressure if necessary. The head holding tank and macerator discharge pump must be pumped dry and one gallon of potable water antifreeze poured into the tank through the deck waste pump out fitting.
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.
Reactivating The Boat After Storage: • Charge and install the batteries. • Install the drain plug in the hull. • Check the engines for damage and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for recommissioning. • Check the engines mounting bolts to make sure they are tight. • Perform all routine maintenance. • Check all hose clamps for tightness. • Pump the antifreeze from the fresh and raw water systems and flush several times with freshwater.
