Chapter 1: PROPULSION SYSTEM 3070 Express 1.1 General The Pursuit 3070 Express 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.
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. Other than the routine maintenance outlined in the engine owner’s manual, there is little to be concerned with unless the boat is to be kept in saltwater for extended periods of time. Then the main concerns are marine growth and galvanic corrosion.
Note: Always monitor the oil level in the tanks and only use the type of oil specified by the engine manufacturer. 1.4 Engine Cooling System Outboard engines are raw water (sea water) cooled. Water is pumped through the water inlets, circulated through the engine block, and relinquished with the exhaust gases through the propeller hub. The water pump uses a small impeller made of synthetic rubber. The impeller and water pump cannot run dry for more than a few seconds.
RUNNING AGROUND OR STRIKING AN UNDERWATER OBSTRUCTION CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO PASSENGERS AND DAMAGE TO THE MOTORS 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.
Speedometer The speedometer indicates the speed of the boat in miles per hour. Most speedometers measure the water pressure against a small hole in a pickup tube located in the engine lower unit or mounted on the bottom of the transom. 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 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 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 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: 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. After fueling, install the fuel cap and tighten with the key. Be sure to use the proper type and grade fuel.
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.
Fuel filters are installed in the transom area of the boat. The filters are the water separator type and there is one filter for each engine fuel line. Each fuel filter has 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 are inspected periodically and the elements changed as needed. Fuel Filter 3.
3.4 Fueling Instructions FUEL IS VERY FLAMMABLE. 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. DO NOT USE A FUEL THAT CONTAINS HARSH ADDITIVES OR IS AN ALCOHOL BLEND.
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. IF EXCESS FUEL IS SPILLED INTO THE WATER, IMMEDIATELY EVACUATE THE AREA AND NOTIFY THE MARINA AND THE PROPER OFFICIALS. 9.
3.5 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 seals with petroleum jelly or silicone grease.

Chapter 4: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 4.1 General Your Pursuit is equipped with an AC and 12-volt DC electrical systems. The AC system can draw current from one of two sources, either shore power outlets at dock side or the optional generator. The DC system draws current from 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. The batteries are located in the stern bilge below the livewell.
a switch fed by the panel breakers. Most of the 12-volt accessories on the deck and cockpit are operated by switches in the helm and accessory switch panels. 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.
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. The following are descriptions of the accessories controlled by the main accessory switch panel: Windlass Switch This switch controls the optional windlass which is mounted to the deck directly above the rope locker.
Wipers Activates the windshield wipers. Power Seat The switch is located on the helm. It is a momentary switch that controls the fore and aft movement of the helm seat. 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.
Battery Parallel This switch is located on the panel next to the battery slide switch. It is used to parallel the engine and house batteries to supply current to the battery slide switch from the engine battery in the event that the house battery is dead. Note: Please refer to the Raw Water System chapter for more information on the baitwell and washdown systems. FishBox Pump Out Macerator Pump The fishbox macerator switch panel is located in the rear of the cockpit near the stern access door.
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. The following are descriptions of the accessories controlled by the cabin DC breaker panel: 12-Volt Main Supplies the 12-volt current to the cabin DC breaker panel and protects the panel from an overload. Cabin Lights Supplies 12-volt electrical current to the cabin light switches.
Macerator- Head 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. Carbon Monoxide Detector Supplies 12-volt electrical current to the carbon monoxide detector in the cabin. This is a "push to reset" breaker that is normally on all the time, when activated by the house battery switch on the TABS, unless it is tripped by an overload.
Aft Bilge The aft bilge pump breaker is located on the TABS and provides protection for the automatic float switch on the aft bilge pump. This "push to reset" breaker is always supplied current when the batteries are connected. Another breaker in the helm provides circuit protection for the manual switch. DC Power The DC power breaker is located on the TABS and provides protection for all DC power to the Cabin DC breaker panel.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK IN WET WEATHER, AVOID MAKING CONTACT WITH THE SHORE CABLE OR MAKING A CONNECTION TO A LIVE SHORE OUTLET. NEVER SPRAY WATER ON ELECTRICAL CABLES WHILE WASHING DOWN DECKS. TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE AC GROUND SYSTEM IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND THAT A PROPER CONNECTION EXISTS BETWEEN THE SHORE POWER CORD, THE SHORE POWER INLET, THE BOAT BONDING SYSTEM AND THE OUTLET GROUND CIRCUITS.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE WIRING YOURSELF. ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. ALWAYS HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK WIRING. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM ANY ELECTRICAL CABLES OR EQUIPMENT AND ALWAYS USE GROUNDED APPLIANCES ON BOARD YOUR BOAT. UNDETECTED FAULTS IN THE AC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COULD CAUSE THE WATER AROUND THE BOAT TO BECOME ENERGIZED. THIS COULD CAUSE A SEVERE SHOCK OR EVEN DEATH TO SOMEONE IN THE WATER NEAR THE BOAT.
unplugging the shore power cord. The AC panel also is equipped with a relay that will cause the main breaker to trip when reverse polarity current is detected. Reverse Polarity Light The red light indicates reverse polarity current supplied to the panel. This situation will cause the red light to remain lit. Additionally, special relay attached to the main breaker will automatically turn the main breaker off whenever reverse polarity is achieved.
The wires that supply DC charging current to the batteries are protected by an internal fuse in the battery charger and three external circuit breakers, one for each battery bank output wire, located near the TABS unit. The external breakers protect the DC charging circuit from the batteries to the charger. The internal fuses in the charger protect the DC charging circuit from the charger to the batteries. The circuit breakers can be tested by pressing the red button on the breaker.
Additional AC Breaker Panels Shore Power Inlet Located in the cockpit near the shore power inlet plug. This breaker protects the AC system between the shore power inlet plug and the main AC panel. AC Power Selector Switch The AC breaker panel will be equipped with this switch if the optional AC generator has been installed in your boat. Move the selector switch to the “SHORE” position when connected to dock side power.
WHEN REPLACING LIGHT BULBS IN MARINE LIGHT FIXTURES, ALWAYS USE A BULB WITH THE SAME RATING AS THE ORIGINAL. USING A DIFFERENT BULB COULD CAUSE THE FIXTURE TO OVERHEAT AND MELT OR SHORT CIRCUIT. Check all below deck wiring to be sure it is properly supported, that the insulation is sound, and that there are no loose or corroded terminals. Corroded terminals should be thoroughly cleaned with sandpaper, or replaced, tightened securely and sprayed with a metal and electrical protector.
The engine maintenance required on the generator is similar in many ways to primary inboard engines. The most important factors to the generator's longevity are proper ventilation, maintenance of the fuel system, ignition system, cooling system, lubrication system and the AC alternator. Maintenance schedules and procedures are outlined in your generator owner’s manual. They should be followed exactly.

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 Water Heater The water heater is located in a compartment below the dinette seat. All heaters have a AC element that is thermostatically controlled at the heater and activated by a circuit breaker located in the AC panel.
DO NOT MODIFY OR CHANGE THE SHORE WATER INLET CONNECTOR WITH ANOTHER TYPE WITHOUT CONSULTING PURSUIT CUSTOMER RELATIONS OR YOUR DEALER. THE USE OF THE WRONG TYPE OF INLET CONNECTOR CAN DAMAGE THE FRESHWATER SYSTEM. 5.5 Shower Operation The head sink faucet is also the shower spray head. To use as a shower, make sure the “Freshwater System” breaker in the DC breaker panel is on, then lift the spray head off the sink or out of the locker (cockpit shower) and turn the water on.
• The batteries must be properly maintained and charged. Operating the pressure pump from a battery with a low charge could lead to pump failure. • Add a commercially available potable water conditioner to the water tank to keep it fresh. Be sure that the vent hose is properly routed and attached when the vent is reinstalled or replaced. The vent hose must be looped above the vent, secured to the hull near the vent and securely attached to the vent hose fitting with a hose clamp.
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. The optional air conditioner uses an AC seawater supply pump.
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. 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 Air Conditioning Pump The air conditioner is self-contained and seawater cooled. An AC centrifugal raw water pump supplies seawater that cools the condensing unit as it circulates through the system and is discharged overboard. The pump is located in Q-Berth storage compartment and is activated whenever AC current is available and the air conditioning system is operating. Seawater is supplied to the pump from a thru hull fitting located in the hull near the pump.
Chapter 7: DRAINAGE SYSTEMS 7.1 General All water is drained by gravity to overboard thru hull fittings located in the hull sides above the waterline. The cabin 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 sea water 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 switches in the helm station, and automatically, by a float switch mounted near the rear pump and built into the forward pump. The automatic float switches remain activated when the battery switches are in the “OFF” position and the batteries are connected.
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 ENSURE 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 Cabin Drains The galley and head sink drain by gravity to overboard thru hulls located in the hull sides just above the waterline. The shower and air conditioner condensate are drained by a sump pump system. The sump system is located in the bilge and accessed through a hatch below the aft berth in the cabin. An automatic float switch in the sump controls the pump. The pump is protected by the midship sump circuit breaker in the TABS. The sump is activated whenever the batteries are connected.
• The manual bilge pumps should be activated briefly each time the boat is used. This will ensure that they are operating properly and increase the service life of the pumps. • Flush all gravity drains with freshwater to keep them clean and free flowing. • Clean and inspect the shower and drain sump system. Remove accumulated debris and flush with freshwater. Frequently test the automatic pump switch for proper operation. Manually activate the system to verify operation.

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.
• If the boat is equipped with water sensors in the fuel filters, be sure to check them for excessive water. 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.
800-368-5647 or the “Boat U.S. Foundation Course Hotline,” 1-800-336-2628 and 800-2452628 in Virginia, for information on boat safety courses and brochures listing the Federal equipment requirements. Also, check your local and state regulations. The Coast Guard Auxiliary offers a “Courtesy Examination.” This inspection will help ensure that your boat is equipped with all of the necessary safety equipment. The following is a list of the accessory equipment required on your boat by the U.S.
Non-Pyrotechnic Devices: Non-Pyrotechnic visual distress signals must be in serviceable condition, readily accessible, and certified by the manufacturer as complying with U.S. Coast Guard requirements. They include: • Orange Distress Flag. (Day use only) The distress flag is a day signal only. It must be at least 3 x 3 feet with a black square and ball on an orange background. It is most distinctive when attached and waved from a paddle or boat hook. • Electric Distress Light.
Please refer to the information provided by the fire extinguisher manufacturer for instructions on the proper maintenance and use of your fire extinguisher. INFORMATION FOR HALON OR AGENT FE-241 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS IS PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU READ THE INFORMATION CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM, IN THEORY AND OPERATION, BEFORE USING YOUR BOAT.
vated whenever the cabin DC breaker panel is energized. Some of these devices require a warm up period. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions. Always make sure the Cabin DC Breaker Panel and the carbon monoxide detector are activated by the house battery switch whenever the cabin is occupied. Carbon monoxide (CO), a by-product of combustion, is invisible, tasteless, odorless, and is produced by all engines, heating and cooking appliances. It exists wherever fuels are burned to generate power or heat.
normal coordination, nausea and unconsciousness. The victim's skin also may turn red. A slight buildup of carbon monoxide in the human body over several hours causes headache, nausea and other symptoms similar to food poisoning, motion sickness or the flu. Anyone with these symptoms should immediately be moved to an area of fresh air. Have the victim breath deeply and seek immediate medical attention. Remember, carbon monoxide detectors do not guarantee that CO poisoning will not occur.
should carry and the safe shelf life of prescription drugs or other medical supplies that may be in your first-aid kit. Replace questionably old supplies whether they have been used or not. In many emergency situations, the Coast Guard can provide assistance in obtaining medical advice for treatment of serious injuries or illness. If you are within VHF range of a Coast Guard Station, make the initial contact on channel 16 and follow their instructions. 11.

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. • Allow the engines to warm up for 10 to 15 minutes before operating them above idle speeds. • 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.
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.
Backing into a Slip Approach the slip with the stern against the wind or current and the engines straight ahead. Use the engines and turn the steering wheel to maneuver the boat into alignment with the slip. Reverse the engines and slowly back into the slip. Shift from reverse to neutral frequently to prevent the boat from gaining too much speed. Move the stern right and left by shifting the engines in and out of gear or turning the wheel.
Anchoring Make sure the bitter end of the anchor rode is attached to the boat before dropping the anchor. Bring the bow into the wind or current and put the engine in neutral. When the vessel comes to a stop, lower the anchor over the bow. Pay out anchor line so that it is at least 5 to 7 times the depth of the water and secure the line to a cleat. Use caution to avoid getting your feet or hands tangled in the line. Additional scope of 10 times the depth may be required for storm conditions.
repairs to the control systems before proceeding slowly and carefully to port. Request assistance if necessary. Haul the boat and make a thorough inspection of the hull and running gear for damage. 12.9 Grounding, Towing and Rendering Assistance The law requires the owner or operator of a vessel to render assistance to any individual or vessel in distress, as long as his vessel is not endangered in the process.
12.10 Flooding or Capsizing Boats can become unstable if they become flooded or completely swamped. You must always be aware of the position of the boat to the seas and the amount of water in the bilge. Water entering the boat over the transom can usually be corrected by turning the boat into the waves. If the bilge is flooding because of a hole in the hull, the engine bracket or a defective hose, you may be able to plug it with rags, close the thru-hull valve or assist the pumps by bailing with buckets.
• Circle around quickly and throw a cushion or life jacket to the person, if possible, and another to use as a marker. • Keep the person on the driver side of the boat so you can keep him in sight at all times. • Make sure to approach the person from the downwind side and maneuver the boat so the propellers are well clear of the person in the water.
BOATS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY TRAILERS THAT DON’T PROPERLY SUPPORT THE HULL. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE TRAILER BUNKS AND PADS 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.
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.
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. Anodes requiring replacement more frequently may indicate a stray current problem within the boat or at the slip or marina.
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 Acrylic glass 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.
Avoid using products containing ammonia, powdered abrasive cleaners, steel wool, ink, strong solvents, acetone and 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.
Snaps should be lubricated periodically with petroleum jelly or silicone grease. Zippers should be lubricated with silicone spray or paraffin. The bimini top, side curtains, clear connector, back drop and aft curtain must be removed when trailering. 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 your boat.
13.4 Bilge To keep the bilge clean and fresh, use a commercial bilge cleaner regularly. Follow the directions carefully. The generator compartment should be kept clean and free of oil accumulation and debris. All exposed pumps and metal components, including the generator, should be sprayed periodically with a protector to reduce the corrosive effects of the high humidity always present in these areas. Maintenance intervals are outlined in the generator owner’s manual.
• Frequently test the automatic bilge switch for proper operation. This is accomplished by turning the knob on the side of the float switch and lifting the float 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 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.
PROFILE WITH SLING LOCATIONS Sling locations 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 tied together to prevent the slings from sliding on the hull.
Supporting The Boat For Storage A trailer, elevating lift 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 trailer is on a level surface and the bow is high enough so that water will drain from the bilge and cockpit. • The trailer must properly support the hull. The bunks and rollers should match the bottom of the hull and should not be putting pressure on the lifting strakes.
• 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.
water heater, pour the antifreeze mixture into the freshwater tank, prime and operate the pump until the mixture flows from all freshwater faucets. Be sure to open all hot and cold water faucets, including the freshwater spray head in the stern bait station sink and the water supply valve for the head. Make sure antifreeze has flowed through all of the freshwater drains. The shower drain sump system must be properly winterized.
the deck waste pump out fitting. After the antifreeze has been added to the holding tank, open the overboard discharge valve and activate the macerator pump until the antifreeze solution is visible at the discharge thru hull. 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.
Tower (if installed) It is imperative that all drain holes in the tower and hardtop legs are open and completely free of water. Tower basket drains should be checked and clear of debris. Remove the tower sun shade, if installed, the belly band or other upholstery and thoroughly clean and store in a safe, dry place. Remove all electronics. Coat all wire connectors and bus bars in the helm compartment with a protecting oil. Cover the tower basket with a tarp and secure it properly.
14.3 Recommissioning DO NOT OPERATE THE BOAT UNLESS IT IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED. KEEP ALL FASTENERS TIGHT. KEEP ADJUSTMENTS ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATIONS. Note: It is important and recommended that the fitting out procedure for the marine gear be done by a qualified service person. Read the engine owner’s manual for the recommended procedure. BEFORE LAUNCHING THE BOAT, MAKE SURE THE HULL DRAIN PLUG IS INSTALLED. Reactivating The Boat After Storage: • Charge and install the batteries.
After Launching: • Carefully check all water systems and the engine bolts for leaks. Operate each system one at a time checking for leaks and proper operation. • Check the bilge pump manual and automatic switches. • When the engines start, check the cooling system port below the engine cowling for a strong stream of water. This ensures that the cooling pump is operating. • Carefully monitor the gauges and check for leakage and abnormal noises.
