C 300

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 INSTALLATIONS WILL BENEFIT

FROM TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY ONE WAY OR THE OTHER BE-

FORE 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.

2.5 Engine Stop Switch

WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT THE LANYARD BE

ATTACHED TO THE DRIVER WHENEVER THE ENGINES

ARE RUNNING.

Your Pursuit is equipped with an engine stop switch and lanyard. When the

lanyard is pulled it will engage the switch and shut off the engines. If the

engines will not start, it could be because the lanyard is not properly inserted

into the engine stop switch. Always make sure the lanyard is properly attached

to the engine stop switch before attempting to start the engine.

WEAR THE LANYARD AT ALL TIMES WHILE OPERATING

YOUR BOAT. USE IT TO STOP ONLY IN AN EMERGENCY,

NOT TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE DURING NORMAL OPERATION.

Refer to the engine owner's manual for more information on the engine stop switch.

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. Refer to the steering manufacturer owner’s manual for specific information on the steering

system.

Dual engine outboards are coupled at the tiller arms by a tie bar. The engines must be aligned so they are

parallel with each other to provide maximum stability on straight ahead runs and proper tracking through

corners. Engine or steering system damage may require the engines to be realigned.
