Operator Notes 22 C280 / S280 / C310 / ST310
Propulsion Systems Section 1 Propulsion Systems 1.1 General Your Pursuit boat is designed to be powered with twin 2-cycle or 4-cycle outboard engines. Each manufacturer of the various outboard engines provides an owner’s information manual which includes its limited warranty statement with its product. It is important you read and understand the information and become familiar with the warranty, operation and maintenance of the engines and drive systems.
Section 1 ! CAUTION DO NOT use copper-based coatings or any coatings not approved for use with aluminum. Some paint manufacturers claim their paints are safe for aluminum. Copper components and copper-based paints can cause severe corrosion to aluminum. DO NOT use copper-based paints. Mercury or mercury-based compounds that come into contact with aluminum will result in severe corrosion. 1.3 Engine Lubrication 4-cycle engines have an oil sump in the crankcase.
Propulsion Systems vibration that can be felt in the boat and can damage the engine gear case. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for information on propeller removal and installation. 1.6 Engine Instrumentation The helm station is equipped with a set of engine instruments and alarms. The instruments allow the operator to monitor the operational conditions of the engines. Monitoring the instrumentation allows the operator to operate the engines most efficiently and prevent serious costly damage.
Section 1 Propulsion Systems Engine Alarms Most outboards are equipped with an audible alarm system mounted in the helm area to monitor selected critical engine systems and functions. The alarm will sound if one of these systems begins to fail. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for information on the alarms installed with your engines. ! CAUTION If an engine alarm sounds, shut off the engine, investigate the problem and correct it.
Helm Systems Section 2 Helm Systems The handles of dual lever controls may not always align with each other at all RPM settings because of variations in the routing of control cables, 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. 2.1 General The helm controls consist of engine throttle and shift controls, steering system, trim tab control switches and the optional spotlight control.
Section 2 Helm Systems ! WARNING ! CAUTION Test the neutral safety switch periodically. If the switch is not operating properly, DO NOT use the boat. Contact your Pursuit Dealer and have it repaired. An inoperable neutral safety switch can allow the engine to start in FORWARD or REVERSE causing sudden boat movement, throwing the operator and passengers off balance and possibly overboard.
Helm Systems Section 2 Power Steering (Optional) Engine Stop Switch (Typical) 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.
Section 2 Avoid depressing the switch while awaiting the trim plane reaction. By the time the effect is noticeable the trim tab plane will have moved too far and the boat will be in an overcompensated position. When running at a speed that will result in the boat falling off plane, lowering the tabs slightly, bow down, will improve the running angle and operating efficiency. Too much bow down tabs can reduce operating efficiency and cause difficult steering and handling.
Helm Systems Section 2 When new, or after repairs, hydraulic steering systems may need to be purged of air. Refer to the information provided with the steering system for specifications and service information. Check steering operation and visually inspect for loose or missing hardware before operating the boat. If you suspect the steering system is damaged, see your Pursuit dealer. DO NOT operate the boat if you suspect the steering system is malfunctioning.

Fuel System Section 3 Fuel Systems 3.1 General The fuel system of your Pursuit boat is designed to meet the requirements of the U.S. Coast Guard, National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), and American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) in effect at the time of manufacture. ! NOTICE Certain bulkhead areas are sealed following U.S. Coast Guard regulations at the date of manufacture. Any modifications must be in accordance with the regulations. 3.
Section 3 Operating the boat with all four, fuel valves open, is not recommended and should be avoided. The engines will not draw fuel equally from the fuel tanks when both engines are operating from both tanks The fuel delivery lines are equipped with antisiphon valves where the lines attach to the fuel tanks. These valves help prevent gasoline from siphoning out of the fuel tank should a line rupture. Fuel System C 310 and S 310 3.
Fuel System Fuel Fills Section 3 Fuel Filters A fuel fill deck plate is located on each gunwale and is marked “GAS.” The fuel fill is opened by turning it counterclockwise with a special key. After fueling, install the fuel cap and tighten with the key; DO NOT over tighten. Use only the fuel recommended by the outboard manufacturer; refer to the engine owner’s manual for additional information.
Section 3 3.4 Fueling Instructions ! DANGER FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD Gasoline vapors are highly explosive when exposed to open flame or spark, resulting in death or serious injury. • Stop engines before fueling. • DO NOT smoke or allow open flames or sparks nearby, within 50 ft (15 m) of the fueling area. • Maintain contact between fuel nozzle and fuel tank fill to prevent electrostatic spark. DO NOT use a plastic funnel. • Fill in an open area.
Fuel System Section 3 Old, degraded gasoline can affect engine performance and damage the engine and boat fuel system. Chemical changes occur as gasoline ages, reducing octane and can cause deposits and varnish in the fuel system. If your boat is not operated 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 degrading. Do not allow the boat to sit unused for an extended period with the fuel tanks less than 3/4 full.

Should any of the breakers trip, reset by pressing the plunger. If the breakers continue to trip, take your boat to an authorized Pursuit dealer to investigate the problem.
Electrical System Section 4 Fresh Water Deploy Retrieve Press to activate the fresh water pump. Pressing the rocker switch deploys and retrieves the anchor. Refer to the Windlass in the Exterior Equipment. Washdown Press to activate the raw water washdown pump. The pump is a pressure demand type and is protected by a circuit breaker on the helm panel and an automatic reset breaker in the pump motor. Refer to the Plumbing Systems Chapter for more information on the livewell and washdown systems.
Section 4 4.5 AC System ! DANGER ELECTROCUTION, FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD Contact with live wires or working on an energized electrical system can cause electrocution. It can also cause sparks, resulting in fire and/or explosion. Both cases will result in death or serious injury. DO NOT work on an energized system or allow unqualified personnel to work on the system.
Electrical System Section 4 Reverse Polarity Light 4.7 Battery Charger Operation The red light indicates reverse polarity current supplied to the panel. This situation will cause the red light to illuminate. Additionally, a relay attached to the main breaker will automatically turn the main breaker off whenever reverse polarity occurs. If reverse polarity occurs, immediately turn off all cabin AC breakers and dockside outlet breakers.
Section 4 To avoid strain on the cable make sure it has more slack than the mooring lines. Protect the cable so it cannot be damaged by chafing between the boat and the dock. Keep the cable from making contact with the water. Then connect the cable to the boat connection plug and the dockside outlet. Make sure the dockside connection plug includes a three-prong plug with a ground wire. Tighten the lock rings on both the shore and the boat connector plugs.
Electrical System AC Electrical System Maintenance Inspect all wiring insulation for nicks, chafing, brittleness, improper support, etc. periodically. Also, inspect portable appliance cords and plugs. Examine the shore power cord for cracks in the insulation and corrosion in electrical connectors. Spraying receptacles and electrical connections with an electrical contact cleaner or a metal and electrical protector will help reduce corrosion and improve electrical continuity.

Plumbing System Section 5 Plumbing System When properly primed and activated, the water system will operate like the water system in a home. An automatic pressure sensor keeps the system pressurized. If the system has been recently filled or has not been used for an extended period, air may accumulate at the pump and the system may have to be re-primed. 5.1 Fresh Water System General The fresh water system consists of a potable water tank, distribution lines and a distribution pump.
Section 5 Plumbing System To fill the livewell, insert the plug into the drain fitting at the bottom of the livewell. Make sure the ball valve at the intake thruhull fitting is open and turn on livewell pump. When water level reaches the overflow, it will begin to circulate. To drain, turn off pump and remove plug. When the livewell has drained, use the washdown hose to flush livewell and drain debris.
Plumbing System 5.4 Drainage General Some drain thru-hull fittings are equipped with ball valves that are always open under normal operating conditions. In the event of an emergency, close the valves to prevent sea water from entering the boat through the drainage system. Check and operate the drain valves at least once a month to make sure they are in good condition and operating properly.
Section 5 A loose drain plug will allow sea water to enter the bilge and cause the boat to sink. Check the drain plug frequently to make sure it is secure. When the boat is out of the water, the bilge can be drained by a thru-hull drain located in the transom, near the bottom of the hull. 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 fine.
Plumbing System • • Add a commercially available potable water conditioner to the water tank to keep it fresh. Make sure the fresh water system switch is "OFF" when leaving the boat unattended or when not in use. Raw Water System ! CAUTION If a hose ruptures, turn pump off immediately. Close the thru-hull valve before performing maintenance on sea water pump. Operating any pump from a low-charged battery can lead to a pump failure. Keep the batteries properly charged.

Safety Equipment Safety Equipment Section 9 If the alarms sounds: • 9.1 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.
Section 9 If the operator is thrown from the seat, or moves too far from the helm, the lanyard will disconnect the clip from the switch, shutting off the engine. To attach a lanyard, connect the clip to the emergency stop switch and the hook to a strong piece of clothing on the operator, such as a belt loop. If the engines will not start, the clip may not be inserted into the engine stop switch properly or the control is not in neutral.
Safety Equipment Other symptoms that may signal exposure to CO: dizziness, flushed face, ears ringing, headaches, tightness of chest or hyperventilation, drowsiness, fatigue or weakness, inattention or confusion, lack of normal coordination, nausea and unconsciousness. The victim’s skin also may turn red. A slight buildup of CO in the human body over several hours causes headache, nausea and other symptoms similar to food poisoning, motion sickness or the flu.
Section 9 Contact the detector manufacturer, the Pursuit Customer Relations Department or your local fire department for assistance in finding and correcting the situation. In certain situations, boats can have a problem due to the “station wagon effect” where engine exhaust fumes are captured in the vessel by the vacuum or low pressure area, usually the cockpit, bridge deck and cabin, that can be created by the forward speed of the boat.
Safety Equipment Read the book entitled, "Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts - Owner's Manual" and the owner's manual supplied by the CO detector manufacturer for additional information regarding the hazards and symptoms of CO gas, CO poisoning and operation instructions. If you did not receive these manuals, contact the Pursuit Customer Relations Department. Many manufacturers of carbon monoxide detectors offer a testing and recertification program.
Section 9 worn at all times when the vessel is underway. Throwable devices must be immediately available for use. All Pursuit boats must be equipped with at least one Type I, II or III PFD for each person onboard, plus one throwable device (Type IV). Visual Distress Signals All Pursuit boats used on coastal waters, the Great Lakes, territorial seas, and those waters connected directly to them, must be equipped with Coast Guard approved visual distress signals.
Safety Equipment your presence and course. Your Pursuit boat is equipped with the navigation lights required by the U.S. Coast Guard at the time of manufacture. It is up to you to make sure they are visible, operational and turned on when required. Fire Extinguishers Pursuit Boats provides locations for two fire extinguishers on boats under 26 feet. Boats over 26 feet have provisions for up to three fire extinguishers.
Section 9 9.9 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 EPIRB 'S EPIRB's (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) operate as part of a world wide distress system.
Operation Section 10 Operation Passengers should be seated to properly balance the load and must not obstruct the operator's view, particularly to the front. 10.1 General Before you start, become familiar with the various component systems and their operation, and perform a “Pre-Cruise System Check." A thorough understanding of the component systems and their operation is essential to operate the boat safely.
Section 10 • Operation petroleum facilities. Observe and avoid other restricted areas near dams, power plants, etc. Do not stop or anchor beneath bridges or in channels. America’s Waterway Watch America's Waterway Watch, a combined effort of the Coast Guard and its Reserve and Auxiliary, wants your help in keeping America's waterways safe and secure.
Operation Section 10 Meeting Head-On Or Nearly-So Situations When two motorboats are approaching each other head-on or nearly head-on, neither boat has the right of way. Both boats should reduce their speed and turn to the right, passing port side to port side and provide enough clearance for safe passage. Both boats should sound appropriate signals.
Section 10 Each person onboard must have at least one personal flotation device onboard and one throwable device. Check the U.S. Coast Guard standards for the correct type required for your boat. • • • • • • • • • Make sure signal kits are onboard and are in good operating condition and are not expired. Make sure you have sufficient water and other provisions for the planned cruise. Leave a written message listing details of your planned cruise (Float Plan) with a close friend ashore.
Operation • • • • Section 10 Alcohol and any mind altering chemicals can severely reduce your reaction time and affect your better judgment. Alcohol reduces the ability to react. Alcohol makes it difficult to judge speed and distance or track moving objects. Alcohol reduces night vision and ability to distinguish red from green. STAY ALERT. The use of alcohol or any other mind altering chemicals that impair judgment, pose a serious threat to you and others.
Section 10 ! CAUTION Operation Safety precautions for tower operation: • To prevent damage, close all seacocks before leaving the boat. 10.6 Fishing Fishing can be very exciting and distracting for the operator of the boat when the action gets intense. Be conscious that your primary responsibility is operating the boat safely to protect yourself, your passengers and other boats around you. Make sure the helm is properly manned and is never left unattended while trolling.
Operation Section 10 10.8 Docking, Anchoring and Mooring soon at it stops. Use fenders to protect the boat while it is docked. Keep the engines running until the lines are secured. Docking and Docklines Backing into a Slip Maneuvering a boat near a dock and securing it requires skill and techniques that are unique to water and wind conditions, and the dock layout. If possible, position a crew member at the bow and stern to assist with the lines and docking.
Section 10 cleats. The spring lines keep the boat from backing into the dock while allowing it to ride the tide. Leaving the Dock Start the engines and let them warm up for 10 to 15 minutes before releasing the lines. Boats steer from the stern and it is important you achieve enough clearance at the stern to maneuver the boat as quickly as possible. Push the stern off and maneuver to gain stern clearance quickly. Proceed slowly until the boat has cleared the dock and other boats.
Operation Section 10 lem. If you are unable to correct the problem, call for help. ment and knowledge, e.g., the U.S. Coast Guard or a commercial towing company. If only one engine has failed, you can operate on one engine. Do not to apply too much power to the running engine. When running one engine to power a twin engine boat, the engine is “over propped” and can be overloaded if too much throttle is applied.
Section 10 10.13 Transporting your Boat Your Pursuit boat is a large boat and should only be trailered by professionals with the right equipment and knowledge to transport large boats without causing damage. Contact your dealer or the Pursuit Customer Relations Department if you are planning to transport your boat and have any questions in regard to the proper equipment and support for the hull. Damaged from trailers can occur if the boat hull is not supported properly.
Operation Section 10 rope, chain or turnbuckle in addition to the winch cable. Additional straps may be required across the beam of the boat. If these types of straps are used, protect your boat from chaffing or from the straps “slapping” the gelcoat. Cover area where straps are secured and twisting the straps before they are secured will help reduce the “slapping” affect. Your dealer can provide instructions on how to load, fasten and launch your boat.
Section 10 When a skier falls, be prepared to turn the boat immediately and return to the skier. Never leave a fallen skier alone in the water for any reason. Operation • • For additional information on water skiing, including hand signals and water skiing manuals, contact the American Water Skiing Association - 863-324-4341 or visit their Web Site at www.usawaterski.org.
Routine Maintenance Section 11 Routine Maintenance marine growth and pollution in different regions, your dealer and/or a qualified boat yard in your area should be consulted when deciding what bottom paint system to apply to your hull, because pollution and marine growth can damage fiberglass hulls. 11.1 General ! WARNING FIRE/EXPLOSION/ASPHYXIATION HAZARD Cleaning agents and paint ingredients can be flammable and/or explosive, or dangerous to inhale.
Section 11 more frequently may indicate a stray current problem within the boat or at the slip or marina. Anodes that do not need to be replaced after one year may not be providing the proper protection. Loose or low quality anodes could be the problem. Contact your dealer for the proper size and type of anodes to be used and the specific installation procedure. Routine Maintenance require more frequent maintenance. A heavier buffing is required to bring the gelcoat back to its original luster.
Routine Maintenance Anodized Aluminum Surfaces Wash periodically with soap and water to keep it clean. If the boat is used in saltwater or polluted water, wash with soap and water after each use. Saltwater allowed to remain on anodized aluminum will penetrate the anodized coating and attack the aluminum. Hardtops with aluminum frames, bimini tops and towers with canvas and/or fiberglass tops require special attention to the anodized aluminum just below the top.
Section 11 DO NOT use the following on acrylic plastic: • • • • • • Abrasive cleaners Acetone Solvents Alcohol Glass cleaners Cleaners containing ammonia Engines Proper engine maintenance is essential to performance and reliability of your outboard engines. Maintenance schedules and procedures are outlined in your engine owner's manual, follow them exactly. Flush the system when the boat is out of the water. If the boat is used in saltwater, flush daily. The age of gasoline can affect engine performance.
Routine Maintenance Section 11 11.3 Seats, Upholstery, Canvas and Enclosures • Seat Slides and Swivel Bases • Perform the following periodically: • • • • • • Inspect and tighten mounting screws between seat slides and seat bottom. Inspect and tighten the mounting screws attaching seat bases to boat. Keep a light film of grease on manual seat slides. Keep a light film of grease on manual seat adjusting mechanism. Clean electric seat slides. DO NOT use harsh chemicals or abrasives.
Section 11 Lubricate snaps periodically with petroleum jelly or silicone grease. Lubricate zippers with silicone spray or paraffin. Remove the bimini top, side curtains, clear connector, back drop and aft curtain when trailering. Canvas enclosures are not designed to withstand the extreme wind pressure encountered while trailering and will be damaged. Always remove and store properly before trailering. 11.4 Cabin Interior Clean cabin interior just like you would clean a home interior.
Seasonal Maintenance Section 12 Seasonal Maintenance Severe gelcoat cracking or more serious hull damage can occur during hauling and launching if pressure is created on the gunwales (sheer) by the slings. Use flat, wide slings and spreaders long enough to keep pressure from the gunwales. DO NOT allow your boat to be hauled when the spreaders on the lift are not wide enough to take the pressure off the gunwales. 12.1 Storage and Lay-up Before Hauling: • • • • Pump out the head.
Section 12 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. Thoroughly wash fiberglass exterior, especially the antifouling portion of the bottom. Remove as much marine growth as possible. Lightly wax the exterior fiberglass components. Remove all oxidation from the exterior hardware and apply a light film of moisture displacing lubricant.
Seasonal Maintenance washdown pump, will not remove the water from the pump. Remove the outlet hose on the pump, turn it on and allow it to pump out any remaining water, approximately a cupful. An alternate method is to use commercially available nontoxic, potable water system antifreeze. If antifreeze is used, pour the mixture into a pail and put the raw water intake lines into the solution.
Section 12 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. Seasonal Maintenance store the boat in a damp storage enclosure. Excessive dampness can cause electrical problems, corrosion, and excessive mildew. Clean the aluminum frame with soap and water and dry thoroughly. Apply an aluminum metal protector to the entire frame to reduce corrosion and pitting.
Seasonal Maintenance Section 12 After Launching: • • • • • Check all water systems and the engine mounting bolts for leaks. Operate each system one at a time and check 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 to ensure cooling pump is operating. Carefully monitor the gauges and check for leakage and abnormal noises.
