FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS IN OWNER'S INFORMATION PACKET FOR HYDRAULIC STEER-
ING 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.
If the rudders have to be removed for any reason, the red plastic seal protector must be used to prevent the
keyway in the rudder shaft from damaging the lip seal in the rudder port. The seal protectors are installed
on the rudder shaft above the rudder port.
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. Galvanic corrosion is the corrosion
process occurring when different metals are submerged in an electrolyte. Sea water is an electrolyte and
submerged metal components must be properly protected. The anodes will need to be monitored and changed
when they are 75% of their original size.
Refer to the trim tab owner’s manual for additional maintenance information, fluid specifications and
operating instructions.
