Chapter 1: PROPULSION SYSTEM 1.1 General The Pursuit 3100 Offshore 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. A warranty registration card has been furnished with each new engine.
Inboard Drive System 1.3 Engine Exhaust System Engine exhaust exits the rear of the boat through the exhaust system. The system consists of engine exhaust manifolds, exhaust hoses, mufflers, and thru-hull exhaust fittings. 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 ensure that leaks or heat deterioration have not resulted.
A standard in-line sea strainer is located above the intake thru-hull strainers. These should be visually inspected periodically, by looking through the glass case, for accumulation of marine growth, weeds and other foreign objects. If clogged or dirty, the strainer should be cleaned. A CLOGGED SEA STRAINER AND/OR WATER INTAKE SCOOP CAN RESTRICT THE SUPPLY OF COOLING WATER TO THE ENGINE AND EXHAUST COMPONENTS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN SEVERE ENGINE AND EXHAUST SYSTEM DAMAGE.
Step 1: Make sure that no burrs or rough edges exist on the shaft, key and keyways. Fit the key into the keyways. It must slide freely into position without having side play. It might be necessary to file the key with a flat file to create the correct tolerance. Step 2: Propeller Assembly Without the key installed, slip the propeller on the shaft by hand as far as it will go. Mark the location at the front of the hub with a drymarker and remove the propeller. Step 3: Install the key in the shaft.
1.6 Running Gear Shaft Logs and Dripless Seal The shaft logs 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. The shaft seal must have positive water injection any time the propeller shaft is rotating.
Propeller Shaft Alignment The propeller shaft coupling and the transmission coupling should be checked for proper alignment beginning with the first launching, again after 20 hours of engine operation, and annually thereafter. The alignment should especially be checked if noise or vibration occurs. Excessive vibration, abnormal strut bearing wear, or broken propeller shaft coupling bolts are an indication of misalignment.
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.
Rudder Position Indicator The rudder position indicator shows the current position of the rudders. The rudder indicator gauge is not a calibrated instrument and is intended to show the approximate position of the rudders, primarily as a reference when maneuvering in tight quarters. Wind and currents will cause a deviation in the rudder indicator reading. Engine Alarm Most inboard engines are equipped with an audible alarm system mounted in the helm area that monitors selected critical engine systems.
Chapter 2: HELM CONTROL SYSTEMS 2.1 General The helm controls consist of the throttle and shift controls, the steering system, the automatic fire extinguisher system and the trim tab control switches. Optional equipment may include an engine synchronizer. Each manufacturer of the control components provides an owner’s manual with its product. It is important that you read the manuals and become familiar with the proper care and operation of the control systems. 2.
The handles of dual lever controls may not always align with each other at all RPM settings due to variations in control cable routing, cable length and adjustments at the engine. Usually the alignment of the handles can be optimized at a chosen RPM, but may vary at other settings. ALWAYS RETURN THE ENGINE THROTTLE LEVERS TO THE EXTREME LOW SPEED POSITION BEFORE SHIFTING. NEVER SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION AT ANY THROTTLE SETTING ABOVE IDLE RPM. 2.
2.5 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 rudders to turn. A slight clicking sound may be heard as the wheel is turned. This sound is the opening and closing of valves in the helm unit and is normal.
2.7 Engine Synchronizer (Optional) Your boat may be equipped with an engine synchronizing system. When the system is on, the synchronizer monitors the RPM of each engine and automatically keeps them at the same RPM. When the system is turned off, the unit has no affect on the normal manual throttle operation. Synchronizers vary in operation from different manufacturers, but generally, the system is activated and deactivated by a switch at the helm.
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS IN OWNER'S INFORMATION PACKET FOR HYDRAULIC STEERING SYSTEM OPERATING, BLEEDING PROCEDURES AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES. The boat also should be inspected periodically for leakage around the rudder ports. The rudder ports contain a lip seal that provides 100% water tight operation. The seals are self-lubricating and require no maintenance. If a rudder port is found to be leaking, please contact your Pursuit dealer or the Pursuit Customer Relations Department.

Chapter 3: FUEL SYSTEM 3.1 General The fuel systems used in Pursuit boats are 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.
DO NOT CONFUSE FUEL FILL DECK PLATES WITH THE WATER OR WASTE FILL DECK PLATES. THESE PLATES ALSO ARE LABELED ACCORDINGLY. IF GASOLINE OR DIESEL FUEL IS ACCIDENTALLY PUMPED INTO THE WATER OR WASTE TANK, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUMP IT OUT YOURSELF. WATER AND WASTE PUMPS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO PUMP FUEL AND A FIRE OR EXPLOSION COULD RESULT. HAVE THE FUEL PROFESSIONALLY REMOVED AND THE COMPONENTS OF THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM REPLACED AS NECESSARY. Fuel Vents There are two fuel vent fittings, one on each side of the hull.
Gasoline Fuel Filter Each gasoline engine is equipped with 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.
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. ANY DAMAGE DONE TO THE FUEL SYSTEM THAT IS THE RESULT OF USE OF AN ALCOHOL BLEND, IS NOT COVERED BY THE PURSUIT WARRANTY. REFER TO THE ENGINE MANUFACTURER OWNER’S MANUAL REGARDING FUEL REQUIREMENTS FOR YOUR ENGINE. To fill the fuel tanks at a marina, follow this procedure: 1.
11. Open all hatches, windows and doors. Run the blower for at least four minutes to completely ventilate the boat. 12. Check the fuel compartment and below the deck for fuel odors. If you smell fuel, do not start the engine. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION, DO NOT START THE ENGINES WHEN FUEL FUMES ARE PRESENT. FUEL FUMES ARE DANGEROUS AND HARMFUL TO YOUR HEALTH. MAKE SURE ALL GASOLINE ODORS ARE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY.
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. Periodically, it may be necessary to pump accumulating water and contaminated fuel from the bottom of the fuel tanks. If the fuel system on your boat becomes contaminated, contact your dealer or marina for assistance. Algae can grow in the accumulated water in diesel fuel tanks.
Chapter 4: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 4.1 General Your Pursuit is equipped with AC and 12-volt DC electrical systems. The AC system can draw current from one of two sources, either shore power outlets at dockside or the optional generator. The DC system draws current from on-board batteries. The Group 31, 12-volt batteries provided in your boat are of the lead-acid type. They will require periodic maintenance. The batteries are located in the engine compartment.
4.3 DC Distribution System The battery switches are part of an integrated DC power distribution system that contains several components. This panel is made up of battery switches, voltage sensitive relays (VSR) and the 12-volt power distribution breakers. The battery switch panel is located under the cabin steps. DC Power Distribution COMPONENT DESCRIPTION Battery Master Switch: These switches feed the engines and DC circuits. These are "ON/OFF" switches.
Blank Module: Acts as a filler to complete the modular design. BATTERY SWITCHES There are four battery switches and three parallel switches to manage the 12-volt power distribution. The Port Start switch controls the battery for the port engine. The Electronics switch provides power to the electronic buss bar that feeds aftermarket electronics installations. The Parallel switch connects these two batteries together which is primarily used to charge the engine battery at dockside.
Engine Circuit Breakers There are circuit breakers 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 installed on your engines. 4.4 12-Volt DC Switch Panels HELM BREAKER PANEL Helm Breaker Panel The helm and cockpit switch functions are protected by a breaker panel located below the steering helm.
GASOLINE VAPORS CAN EXPLODE. BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINES, OPERATE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BLOWER FOR FOUR (4) MINUTES, OPEN THE ENGINE ACCESS HATCH, INSPECT THE FUEL SYSTEM AND CHECK THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOR THE ODOR OF GASOLINE VAPORS. Windshield Wiper Pressing the top of the rocker switch activates the starboard wiper. Pressing the bottom of the rocker switch activates both wipers. Windshield Washer Pressing this switch activates the windshield washer. Water pressure must be up for the water to operate.
ENGINE START PANELS Port Ignition Switch The port ignition switch is a three-position switch, located in the helm just below the gauges, that activates the port engine. The switch has an off, on and momentary start position. To start the engine, make sure the shift lever is in the neutral position and your hand is on the throttle lever in the idle position. Press or turn the switch to the start position. When the engine starts, release the switch and it will automatically return to the run position.
Livewell This switch activates the livewell circulating pump that supplies water to the livewell. The pump is protected by a circuit breaker in the helm breaker panel and an automatically resetting breaker on the pump motor. AFT PANEL Fishbox Macerator The fishbox macerator switch is a momentary switch that activates the overboard macerator discharge system for the fishbox. The pump is protected by a circuit breaker in the helm breaker panel.
CO Detector The breaker supplies current to the carbon monoxide detector. The power indicator on the carbon monoxide detector should be lit whenever someone is occupying the cabin. If the breaker has tripped, it indicates there is a problem with the carbon monoxide detector, the breaker or the wiring from the breaker panel to the detector. Always determine the cause of the problem and correct it before resetting the breaker. CARBON MONOXIDE IS A LETHAL, TOXIC GAS THAT IS COLORLESS AND ODORLESS.
Holding Tank Level The panel contains the holding tank level indicator that indicates the level of the holding tank. Refer to the head system owner's manual for more information on this system. MISCELLANEOUS ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS Carbon Monoxide Detector Twelve-volt electrical current is supplied to the carbon monoxide detector by a breaker located on the cabin 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.
DISCONNECTING PROCEDURE FOR SHORE POWER CONNECTION Turn the main breaker on the AC panel and the disconnect switch on the dockside outlet to the “OFF” position. Disconnect the cable from the dockside outlet and replace the outlet caps. Disconnect the cable from the boat and close the inlet cap. Store cable. AC BREAKER PANEL The AC panel is located in the cabin.

Chapter 6: RAW WATER SYSTEM 6.1 General In the raw or sea water 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 DC pumps supply sea water to most of the various accessories. The optional air conditioner uses an AC sea water supply pump.
The Washdown Pump Connector The washdown pump hose connector is located in the cockpit and uses a standard garden hose connection. ALWAYS TURN THE RAW WATER PUMP SWITCH TO THE “OFF” POSITION WHEN LEAVING THE BOAT UNATTENDED. Washdown Hose Connector DO NOT RUN THE HIGH PRESSURE PUMP DRY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS AS DAMAGE TO THE PUMP WILL RESULT. 6.3 Livewell Sea water is provided to the livewell by a 12-volt pump. This pump is designed to carry a constant flow of water to the livewell.
DO NOT RUN THE LIVEWELL PUMP DRY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS AS DAMAGE TO THE PUMP WILL RESULT. 6.4 Air Conditioning Sea Water Pump (Optional) The air conditioner is self-contained and sea water cooled. An AC centrifugal raw water pump supplies sea water that cools the condensing unit as it circulates through the system and is discharged overboard. The pump is located below the waterline and is activated whenever AC current is available and the air conditioning system is operating.
THE RAW WATER SYSTEM MUST BE PROPERLY WINTERIZED PRIOR TO WINTER LAYUP. SEE THE SECTION ON WINTERIZING.
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. Some of the drain thru-hull fittings are equipped with 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.
7.4 Bilge Drainage The bilge pumps are located in the stern bilge and the engine compartment. All bilge pumps pump water out of thru-hulls located above the waterline in the hull. Each bilge pump system consists of two pumps and an automatic float switch. The float switch activates one pump that is fully automatic. There is no manual switch for this pump. "Push to reset" breakers near the battery switches activate the automatic float switches.
7.5 Fishbox and Storage Compartment Drains The storage box, located under the passenger seat, is drained by gravity. Water drains out of the box to the cockpit drain system. The fishbox below the cockpit floor is drained overboard by a macerator pump out system. The macerator is activated by a momentary switch located in a switch panel near the transom door. The fishboxes should be flushed out and cleaned after each use. The macerator discharge pump can only be run dry for a few of seconds.
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 scuppers and flappers of accumulated marine growth that may hold the flapper open. • Clean the hardtop and radar arch leg drain holes. This is especially important just before winter lay-up. • Clean the bilge pump strainers of debris and check the bilge for foreign material that can cause the automatic switch to malfunction.
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 adjusting screws located in each cam lock.
OPEN FLAMES DEMAND CONSTANT ATTENTION. OPEN FLAME COOKING APPLIANCES CONSUME OXYGEN WHICH CAN CAUSE ASPHYXIATION OR DEATH. ALWAYS MAINTAIN OPEN VENTILATION. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE OF VENTILATION OPENINGS, ASK YOUR DEALER OR THE PURSUIT CUSTOMER RELATIONS DEPARTMENT. LIQUID FUEL MAY IGNITE CAUSING SEVERE BURNS. BE SURE TO USE FUEL APPROPRIATE FOR THE TYPE OF STOVE AND TURN OFF THE STOVE BURNER BEFORE FILLING. DO NOT USE THE COOKING STOVES FOR COMFORT HEATING. NEVER USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. 8.

Chapter 9: EXTERIOR EQUIPMENT 9.1 Hull Swim Platform (Optional) Your Pursuit could be equipped with an optional swim platform in the stern of the boat. The swim platform can only be installed by the Pursuit factory at the time of construction. Improper swim platform installation can damage the boat’s transom or interfere with the transom door. A boarding ladder is recessed into the swim platform under a special hatch. To use the ladder, open the hatch in the middle of the swim platform.
Bow Pulpit and Roller The bow pulpit is built into the hull and is equipped with a roller assembly that allows the anchor to be operated and stored at the pulpit. The pulpit roller is designed for a Delta® plow or a Danforth® style anchor. The anchor line is stored in the rope locker and routed out the rope locker hatch, through the roller and connected to the anchor chain. A chain binder is provided on the deck near the pulpit to secure the anchor.
Boats lying to their anchor in a high swell or heavy weather conditions will snub on the line. This can cause slippage or apply excessive loads to the windlass. The windlass should not be used as a winch to move the boat over the anchor. The boat should be moved under its own power to the anchor and to break the anchor loose. DO NOT USE A WINDLASS AS A SOLE MEANS OF SECURING AN ANCHOR IN THE BOW PULPIT. ALWAYS SECURE THE ANCHOR LINE TO A CLEAT WHEN ANCHORED OR CHAIN BINDER BEFORE OPERATING YOUR BOAT.
Engine Access Access to the engines is provided by a day hatch, located between the helm and the passenger seat or by raising the bridge deck above the engine room. The bridge deck is raised by electric hatch lifters activated by a switch in the cockpit under the gunnel. The aft end of the bridge deck is lifted and lowered by the electric actuators. The weight of water in the livewell puts additional strain on the hinges and the hatch lifters. You should never lift the bridge deck with the livewell full.
THE TRANSOM DOOR AND GATE SHOULD BE CLOSED AND PROPERLY LATCHED WHENEVER THE ENGINE(S) ARE RUNNING. NEVER OPEN THE TRANSOM DOOR WHILE UNDERWAY OR IN ROUGH SEA CONDITIONS. IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS, AN OPEN TRANSOM DOOR COULD ALLOW A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF WATER TO ENTER THE COCKPIT CREATING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION. OPERATING THE BOAT UNDER POWER WITH THE TRANSOM DOOR AND GATE OPEN MAY ALLOW PERSONS TO FALL OVERBOARD AND INTO BOAT PROPELLERS OR TO BE LOST IN OPEN WATER.
Helm The helm and engine controls are located on an opening helm station. The helm station is hinged at the bottom and opens to provide access to service the helm equipment or to install electronics. To open the helm station, slide the helm seat back as far as it will go and release the special clamps at the top of the helm. A strap holds the helm in the open position and prevents it from opening too far. Always make sure the helm station clamps are properly secured when the helm is closed.
Hard Top (Optional) The optional hard top consists of a laminated fiberglass top mounted to a welded aluminum frame that is bolted to the deck. It is designed to accommodate radio antennas, radar antennas and navigation lights. It could also be equipped with optional outriggers and/or rod holders. Three storage compartments are located at the forward edge of the hard top. The hard top is not designed to support the additional weight of items like an instrument locker, life raft or helm station.
9.4 Tower (Dealer Installed) Your boat could be equipped by your dealer or a fabricator with a field installed aluminum tower. Towers are normally equipped with full engine controls, compass, engine alarms, restart buttons and tachometers. This allows for complete operation of the boat from the tower. NOTICE TO PREVENT GEL CRACKING OR DAMAGE TO GUNWALES OR DECKS, SUPPORT EXTENDING TO THE STRINGERS MAY BE REQUIRED.
Chapter 10: INTERIOR EQUIPMENT 10.1 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. 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. An AC G.F.I. duplex outlet is provided next to the door below the sink.
Holding Tank and Macerator Discharge Pump The holding tank and vacuum generator is located in the engine compartment. The macerator pump is located on the rear engine room bulkhead and accessed by lifting the bridge deck. 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 macerator discharge pump, when legal to do so.
Daylight and fresh air are provided to this area by an opening port window and by an overhead opening hatch. Additional lighting is provided by two 12-volt lights on either end of the galley. To operate the galley drawers, push the buttons on the drawers to extend the knobs. Pull on the extended knobs to open the drawers. Push the button in to lock drawers before getting underway. To remove the drawers, turn the twist latches at the rear of the drawers to the horizontal position.
air conditioning unit and should not be used for storage. The table is mounted on an adjustable pedestal that allows the dinette to be converted to a double berth. To convert the dinette to a double berth, lift the cam lock lever on the pedestal base. Then carefully push the table down until it seats on the teak table supports on each lounge seat. Secure the table in the down position by pushing the cam lock lever down on the pedestal base.
The air conditioning unit is installed below the rear seat of the dinette. To avoid damage to the air conditioner, no items should be stored in this compartment if the air conditioning option is installed in your boat. AIR CONDITIONERS USE SURFACE WATER AS A COOLING MEDIUM. THE BOAT MUST BE IN THE WATER AND THE RAW WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM MUST BE PROPERLY ACTIVATED PRIOR TO USE. OPERATION WITHOUT PROPER COOLING COULD CAUSE THE AIR CONDITIONING CIRCUIT BREAKER TO TRIP AND COULD CAUSE SYSTEM DAMAGE.

Chapter 11: SAFETY EQUIPMENT 11.1 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.
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. 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. Control or cable adjustments may be required to correct this condition should it persist.
11.5 Carbon Monoxide CARBON MONOXIDE IS A LETHAL, TOXIC GAS THAT IS COLORLESS AND ODORLESS. IT IS A DANGEROUS GAS THAT WILL CAUSE DEATH IN CERTAIN LEVELS. Carbon Monoxide Detector A carbon monoxide (CO) detector is installed in the cabin on the end of the dinette seat. If excess carbon monoxide fumes are detected, the detector will sound an alarm indicating the presence of the toxic gas. ACTUATION OF THE CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR INDICATES THE PRESENCE OF CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) WHICH CAN BE FATAL.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Carbon monoxide (CO), a by-product of combustion, is invisible, tasteless, odorless and is produced by all engines and most heating and cooking appliances. It exists wherever fuels are burned to generate power or heat. The most common sources of CO on boats are gasoline engines and auxiliary generators and propane or butane stoves. These reproduce large amounts of CO and should never be operated while sleeping. High concentrations of CO can be fatal within minutes.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE ENGINES BE OPERATING WITH SIDE CURTAINS CLOSED AND THE AFT OR DROP CURTAIN INSTALLED. Extreme caution must be taken while at anchor or in a slip and an auxiliary power generator is operating. Wind still nights can easily allow fumes to enter the boat. Inspect the exhaust systems of propulsion and the auxiliary generators, if installed, frequently for possible leaks. High concentrations of CO in your boat may originate from an adjacent boat.
11.7 Required Safety Equipment Besides the equipment installed on your boat by Pursuit, certain other equipment is required by the U.S. Coast Guard to help ensure passenger safety. Items like a sea anchor, working anchor, extra dock lines, flare pistol, life vests, a line permanently secured to your ring buoy, etc. could at some time save your passengers’ lives, or save your boat from damage.
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.
Bilge and Fuel Fires Fuel compartment and bilge fires are very dangerous because of the presence of gasoline or diesel fuel in the various components of the fuel system and the possibility for explosion. You must make the decision to fight the fire or abandon the boat. IF THE FIRE CANNOT BE EXTINGUISHED QUICKLY OR IT IS TOO INTENSE TO FIGHT, ABANDONING THE BOAT MAY BE YOUR ONLY OPTION.
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.
12.2 Rules of the Road As in driving an automobile, there are a few rules you must know for safe boating operation. The following information describes the basic navigation rules and action to be taken by vessels in a crossing, meeting or overtaking situation while operating in inland waters. These are basic examples and not intended to teach all the rules of navigation.
Navigation Aids Aids to navigation are placed along coasts and navigable waters as guides to mark safe water and to assist mariners in determining their position in relation to land and hidden dangers. Each aid to navigation is used to provide specific information. You should be familiar with these and any other markers used in your boating area. STORMS AND WAVE ACTION CAN CAUSE BUOYS TO MOVE. YOU SHOULD NOT RELY ON BUOYS ALONE TO DETERMINE YOUR POSITION. 12.
• Leave a written message listing details of your planned cruise with a close friend ashore (Float Plan). The float plan should include a description of your boat, where you intend to cruise and a schedule of when you expect to arrive in the cruising area and when you expect to return. Keep the person informed of any changes in your plan to prevent false alarms. This information will tell authorities where to look and the type of boat to look for in the event you fail to arrive.
12.4 Operating Your Boat GASOLINE VAPORS CAN EXPLODE. BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINES, OPERATE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BLOWER FOR FOUR (4) MINUTES, OPEN THE ENGINE HATCH, INSPECT THE FUEL SYSTEM AND CHECK THE ENGINES FOR THE ODOR OF GASOLINE VAPORS. ALWAYS OPERATE THE BLOWER WHILE THE ENGINES ARE AT IDLE. DO NOT START OR OPERATE THE ENGINES IF FUEL FUMES ARE PRESENT. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THIS PROCEDURE BE OVERLOOKED.
MAKE SURE ONE OTHER PERSON ON THE BOAT IS INSTRUCTED IN THE OPERATION OF THE BOAT AND MAKE SURE THE BOAT IS OPERATED IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL STATE AND LOCAL LAWS GOVERNING THE USE OF A BOAT. 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.
• Check the bilge area for debris and excess water. • Fill the fuel tanks to near full to reduce condensation. Allow enough room in the tanks for 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.
• Be careful when using the trim tabs from the tower. The reaction of the trim tabs will be exaggerated in the tower. Use small tab corrections and wait ten (10) seconds for the tabs to react. Keep making small corrections until the hull is at the desired attitude. • Do not overload the tower. Most towers are designed to hold the weight of only two average-sized people. Weight in the tower raises the boat’s center of gravity. Too much weight in the tower could make the boat unstable.
Dock lines are generally twisted or braided nylon. Nylon is strong and stretches to absorb shock. It also has a long life and is soft and easy on the hands. The line's size will vary with the size of the boat. Typically a 30 to 40 foot boat will use 5/8-inch line and a 20 to 30 foot boat will use 1/2-inch line. The number of lines and their configuration will vary depending on the dock, the range of the tide, and many other factors.
Leaving a Mooring Start the engines and let them warm up for several minutes before releasing the mooring line. The boat will already be headed into the wind, so move it forward enough to loosen the line and untie it. Back the boat away from the mooring until you can see the buoy. Move the boat slowly away from the mooring. Anchoring Make sure the bitter end of the anchor line is attached to the boat before dropping the anchor. Bring the bow into the wind or current and put the engine in neutral.
12.9 Collision If your boat is involved in a collision with another boat, dock, piling or a sandbar, your first priority is to check your passengers for injuries and administer first aid if necessary. Once your passengers situations are stabilized, thoroughly inspect the boat for damage. Check below decks for leaks and the control systems for proper operation. Plug all leaks or make the necessary repairs to the control systems before proceeding slowly and carefully to port. Request assistance if necessary.
12.11 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 rages, close the thru-hull valve or assist the pumps by bailing with buckets.
• Check the person for injuries and administer first aid if necessary. If the injuries are serious, call for help. Refer to the Safety Equipment chapter for more information on first aid and requesting emergency medical assistance. MOVING PROPELLERS ARE DANGEROUS. THEY CAN CAUSE DEATH, LOSS OF LIMBS, OR OTHER SEVERE INJURY. DO NOT USE THE SWIM PLATFORM OR SWIM LADDER WHILE THE ENGINES ARE RUNNING. STOP THE ENGINES IF DIVERS OR SWIMMERS ARE ATTEMPTING TO BOARD.

Chapter 13: ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 13.1 General IF URETHANE FOAM IS USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF YOUR BOAT, USE SPECIAL CARE WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES OR FLAMES IN THESE AREAS. URETHANE FOAM CAN IGNITE. REFRAIN FROM BURNING, WELDING, SMOKING, THE USE OF SPACE HEATERS AND LIGHTS IN AREAS WHERE URETHANE FOAM IS PRESENT. IF IGNITED, URETHANE FOAM BURNS RAPIDLY, PRODUCES EXTREME HEAT, RELEASES HAZARDOUS GASES AND CONSUMES MUCH OXYGEN. WHEN PAINTING OR CLEANING, VENTILATE THE AREA.
Most bottom paints require some maintenance. Proper maintenance is especially important when the boat is in saltwater and not used for extended periods or after dry storage. If the hull bottom has been painted with antifouling paint, contact your dealer for the recommended maintenance procedures. Sacrificial Anodes Sacrificial zinc anodes are installed on the inboard engines’ fresh water cooling system and on the transom.
Stainless Steel Hardware When using the boat in saltwater, the hardware should be washed with soap and water after each use. When your boat is used in a corrosive environment such as saltwater, water with a high sulfur content or polluted water, the stainless steel will periodically develop surface rust stains. This is perfectly normal under these conditions. The stainless can normally be cleaned and protected by using a high quality boat or automotive wax or a commercial metal cleaner and protectant.
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.
Some leakage at the seams is normal and unavoidable with acrylic enclosures. Side curtains and clear connectors can be cleaned with mild soap and water. They should not be allowed to become badly soiled. Dirt, oil, mildew, and cleaning agents containing ammonia will 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.
13.5 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. All exposed pumps and metal components, including the engines and drive gear, 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 engine owner’s manuals.
Generator (Optional) The engine maintenance required on the generator is similar in many ways to the main engines. The engine incorporates a pressure-type lubrication system and a fresh water cooled engine block which is thermostatically controlled. The most important factors to the generator's longevity are proper ventilation and maintenance of the fuel system, ignition system, cooling system, lubrication system and the AC alternator.

Chapter 14: SEASONAL MAINTENANCE 14.1 Storage and Lay-up 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 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 for the correct position of the lifting slings. The positions are marked with small labels in each side of the boat under the rubrails. The fore and aft slings should be tied together to prevent the slings from sliding on the hull.
NOTICE 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. HULL DAMAGE RESULTING FROM IMPROPER CRADLE OR TRAILER SUPPORT IS NOT COVERED BY THE PURSUIT WARRANTY. Preparing The Boat For Storage • Remove the bilge drain plug(s), if installed.
14.2 Winterizing Fresh Water System The entire fresh water 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 fresh water tank are completely drained. Use only very low air pressure when doing this to prevent possible system damage. Because of the check valve mechanism built in the pump, blowing the lines will not remove the water from the fresh water pump. Remove the inlet and outlet hoses on the pump.
potable water antifreeze poured into the tank through 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. Make sure you follow the marine toilet manufacturer's winterizing instructions exactly. Air Conditioner Disconnect and drain the air conditioner intake and discharge hoses.
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.
• Check the engines for damage and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for recommissioning. • Check the engine 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 fresh water. Make sure all antifreeze is flushed from the water heater and it is filled with fresh water before it is activated. • Check and lubricate the steering system.
