PROPULSION SYSTEM
1.1
General
The Pursuit 1950 Dual Console is designed to be powered with a 2 cycle outboard motor. All
outboard motors used on your Pursuit use an oil injection system. Oil is automatically injected
in the engine and mixed at the proper ratio from an oil tank located in the stern of the boat.
Note:
Always monitor the oil level in the tank and only use the type of oil specified by the
engine manufacturer.
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. A warranty registration card has
been furnished with each new engine and can be located in the engine owner’s manual. All
information requested on this card should be filled out completely by the dealer and purchaser
and then returned to the respective engine manufacturer as soon as possible.

PROPER SERVICE PROCEDURES. CERTAIN MOVING PARTS ARE
EXPOSED AND CAN BE DANGEROUS TO SOMEONE UNFAMILIAR
WITH THE OPERATION AND FUNCTION OF THE EQUIPMENT.
1-1
DO NOT-ATTEMPT TO SERVICE-ANY ENGINE-OR DRIVE-COMPO-—-—- -—--.
DO NOT INHALE EXHAUST FUMES! EXHAUST CONTAINS CARBON
MONOXIDE THAT IS COLORLESS AND ODORLESS. CARBON MON-
OXIDE IS A DANGEROUS GAS THAT IS POTENTIALLY LETHAL.
1.2 Drive Systems
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 electrolysis.
Marine growth occurs when components are left in the water for extended periods and can cause
poor performance or permanent damage to the exposed components. The type of growth and how
quickly it occurs is relative to the water conditions in your boating area. Water temperature,
pollution, current, etc. can have an effect on marine growth.
Electrolysis is the corrosion process occurring when different metals are submerged in an
electrolyte. Sea water is an electrolyte and submerged engine components must be properly
protected. Outboard motors are equipped with sacrificial zinc anodes to prevent electrolysis
problems. The zinc anodes must be monitored and replaced as necessary. For locations and
maintenance, please refer to the engine owner’s manual.
When leaving the boat in the water, tilt the motors as high as possible. This will decrease the
risk of marine growth around the cooling inlets, propeller and exhaust ports and damage from
electrolysis.
DO NOT PAINT THE OUTBOARD MOTORS WITH ANTIFOULING
PAINTS DESIGNED FOR BOAT HULLS. MANY OF THESE PAINTS
CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINES. CONTACT YOUR
PURSUIT DEALER OR ENGINE MANUFACTURER FOR INFORMA-
TION ON THE PROPER PAINTING PROCEDURES.
1.3 Engine Lubrication
Your outboard motor is lubricated by a variable ratio oil injection
system. The oil tank is mounted in the stern of the boat. Always
monitor the oil level before each cruise by checking the gauge in the
helm or visually checking the oil level using the reference marks on
the tank. When additional oil is needed, use only the type of oil
specified by the engine manufacturer. Refer to the engine owner's Oil Tank
manual for oil specifications and additional information on the oil injection system.
Toa
PURSUIT 1950 DUAL CONSOLE
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. In most outboard motors, some cooling
water is diverted through small ports below the engine cowling. This allows the operator to
visually check the operation of the cooling system. When the engine is started, always check for
a steady stream of water coming out of those ports.
NEVER RUN AN OUTBOARD MOTOR WITHOUT WATER FLOWING
TO THE WATER PUMP. SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE WATER IMPEL-
LER OR ENGINE COULD RESULT.
Note: Ifthe boat is used in salt or badly polluted water, the engine should be flushed after
each use. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for the proper engine flushing pro-
cedure.
1.5 Propellers
The propellers convert the engine’s power into thrust. They come in a variety of styles, diameters
and pitches. The one that will best suit the needs of your Pursuit will depend somewhat on your
application and expected average load. Propeller sizes are identified by two numbers stamped
on the prop in sequence. The 1st number in the sequence ( example 14 x 21) is the diameter of
the propeller and the 2nd number is the pitch. Pitch is the theoretical distance traveled by the
propeller in each revolution. Always repair or replace a propeller immediately if it has been
damaged. A damaged, and therefore out of balance propeller, can cause vibration that can be felt
in the boat and could damage the engine gear assembly. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for
information on propeller removal and installation.
TION CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE
MOTOR 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. IF THE BOAT CAN-
NOT BE IMMEDIATELY REMOVED FROM THE WATER,
THOROUGHLY INSPECT THE BILGE AREA FOR LEAKS SO THAT
THE BOAT DOES NOT SINK WHILE MOORED.

1.6 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’s operational
conditions. Close observation of these instruments
allows the pilot to operate the engine at the most
efficient level and could save the engine from
serious costly damage. The instrumentation is
unique to the type of outboard motors installed on
your Pursuit. Some or all of the following gauges
may be present.
Tachometer
Instrument Panel
The tachometer displays the speed of the engine in revolutions per minute
(RPM) This speed is not the boat speed nor necessarily the speed of the
propeller. The tachometer may not register zero with the key in the "OFF"
position.
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED OPERATION RPM
OF THE ENGINE. MAINTAINING MAXIMUM, OR CLOSE TO MAXI-
MUM RPM FOR EXTENDED PERIODS CAN REDUCE THE LIFE OF
THE ENGINE.
Speedometer The speedometer indicates the speed of the boat in miles per hour.
Temperatur The temperature gauge shows the temperature of the engine cooling
Gauge system. A sudden increase in the temperature could indicate an obstructed
water inlet or an impeller failure.
CONTINUED OPERATION OF AN OVERHEATED ENGINE CAN RE-
SULTINENGINE SEIZURE. IF AN UNUSUALLY HIGH TEMPERATURE
READING OCCURS, SHUT THE ENGINE OFF IMMEDIATELY. THEN
INVESTIGATE AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM.
The water pressure gauge monitors the water pressure in the engine
cooling system. Refer to the engine manufacturer owner's manual
formoreinformationonthe cooling systenrwater pressure requirements

DO NOT OPERATE THE ENGINE IF LOW WATER PRESSURE IS
INDICATED. THIS COULD BE AN INDICATION OF A COOLING
SYSTEM BLOCKAGE OR AN IMPELLER FAILURE. IF LOW WATER
PRESSURE IS INDICATED, SHUT THE ENGINE OFF TO INVESTI-
GATE AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM.
Qil Level Gauge The oil level gauge indicates the amount of oil in the engine oil tank.
Fuel Gauge The fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel in the fuel tank.
Yoltmeter The voltmeter displays the voltage for the battery and the charging system.
The normal voltage is 11 to 12 volts with the engine off, and 13 to 14.5
volts with the engine running,
Hour Meter The hour meter keeps a record of the operating time for the engine.
Engine Alarms Most outboards are equipped with an audible alarm system mounted in
the helm area that monitors selected critical engine systems. 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.
IF THE ENGINE ALARM SOUNDS, IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE
ENGINE UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FOUND AND CORRECTED.
The compass is on top of the console. To
adjust the compass for your area, read the
instructions on “Compass Compensation”
given to you in the literature packet.
Compass
Instrument Maintenance
Electrical protection for instruments and ignition circuitry is provided by a set of circuit breakers
located near the main battery switch. The ignition switches should be sprayed periodically with
a contact cleaner/lubricant. The ignition switches and all instruments, controls. etc. should be —-
protected from the weather when not in use. Excessive exposure can lead to gauge and ignition
switch difficulties.

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. It
is important that you read the manuals and become familiar with the proper care and operation
of the control systems.
2.2 Engine Throttle and Shift Controls
The shift and throttle controls on your boat may vary depending on the
engine used. The following control description is typical of most outboard
remote controls. Refer to the engine or control manual for specific
information on the controls installed on your Pursuit.
The engine throttle and shift control systems consist of three major
components: the control handle, the throttle cable, and the shift cable. The
cables are the push-pull type. Two cables are required. One connects the
remote throttle control to the carburetor and the other connects the remote
shift control to the engine shift rod linkage.
The helm on your Pursuit is designed for a binnacle style control with a single lever for the engine
that operates as a gear shift and a throttle. General operation will include a position for neutral
(straight up and down), a forward position (the 1st detent forward of neutral), and a reverse
position (the 1st detent aft of neutral). Advancing the control lever beyond the shift range
advances the throttle in forward or reverse. Each control is equipped with a means of permitting
the engine to be operated at a higher than idle RPM while in neutral for cold starting and warm-
up purposes.
2.3 Neutral Safety Switch
Every control system has a neutral safety switch. 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
7 | 2-1
PURSUIT. 1950 DUAL CONSOLE
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. See your Pursuit dealer for necessary control and cable adjustments.
2.4 Kill Switch
All Pursuit boats rigged with outboard motors are equipped with a kill
switch and lanyard. When the lanyard is pulled it will engage the switch
and shut off the engine. We strongly recommend that the lanyard be
attached to the driver whenever the engine is running.
Kill Switch
2.5 Steering System
Your Pursuit can be equipped with either the standard cable steering system or the optional
hydraulic steering system. Please refer to the manufacturer owner's manual for additional
information on the steering system installed in your boat.

Cable Steering System
(For detailed schematic, see Chapter 12)
Tar
PURSUIT. 1950 DUAL CONSOLE
1 rin m
The standard cable steering system is made of two main parts: the helm and the cable assembly.
Turning the wheel moves the gears in the helm, pushing or pulling the cable assembly and turning
the outboard motor. The amount of effort required to turn the boat may vary slightly, depending
on the speed and engine trim. This can be improved by adjusting the engine trim or resetting the
steering tab on the engine lower unit. Please refer to the engine owner's manual for information
on adjusting the steering tab.
Hydraulic Steering System (Optional)
The optional hydraulic steering system is made of two main components: the helm assembly and
the hydraulic cylinder. The helm unit acts as both a fluid reservoir and pump. Turning ofthe helm,
or steering wheel, pumps the fluid in the hydraulic hoses and activates the hydraulic cylinder
causing the motor 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.
2.6 Trim Tabs (Optional)
Pursuit uses a dual rocker switch to control the trim tabs. The
switch is labeled and controls bow up and down movements. It
also controls starboard and port up and down movements. Bow
up and bow down will control the hull planing attitude while
port and starboard up and down provides control for the hull
listing.
Before leaving the dock, make sure that the tabs are in the full
“UP” position by holding the control in the bow up position for "777"
ten (10) seconds.
Always establish the intended heading and cruise speed before attempting to adjust the hull
attitude with the trim tabs. After stabilizing speed and direction, move the trim tabs to achieve
a level side to side running attitude, being careful not to over trim. After depressing a trim tab
switch, always wait a few seconds for the change in trim plane to take effect. Avoi ressin
the switch while awaiting the trim plane reaction, By the time the effect is noticeable, the trim
plane will have moved too far and thus 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 can
reduce operating efficiency and cause substantial steering and handling difficulties.
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
oar 2-3
PURSUIT. 1950 DUAL CONSOLE
conditions. When running at high re that th re in the full “
Only enough trim plane action should be used to compensate for any listing. Trim tabs are
extremely sensitive at high speeds. Adjust for this and be prepared to slow down if difficulties
arise.
When running into a chop, a slight bow down attitude will improve the ride. Be careful not to
over trim. Handling difficulties may result.
2.7 Control Systems Maintenance
Control Maintenance
Periodic inspection of the control systems and all connections should be made. Signs of rust,
corrosion, wear, or other deterioration should immediately be serviced. Generally, periodic
lubrication of all moving parts and connections with a light waterproof grease is in order.
Lubrication should be performed as often as necessary to keep the system operating smoothly.
Control system adjustments may become necessary. If adjustment becomes necessary, see your
Pursuit dealer.
DO NOT ATTEMPT CONTROL SYSTEM ADJUSTMENTS UNLESS
YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH CONTROL SYSTEM SERVICING PROCE-
DURES. MISADJUSTMENT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND
SEVERE ENGINE OR LOWER UNIT DAMAGE.
rin m Maintenan
A periodic inspection of all steering cables, hoses, linkage and helm assemblies should be made.
Signs of corrosion, cracking, loosening of fastenings, excessive wear, or deterioration should be
immediately corrected. Generally, periodic lubrication of all moving parts and connections with
a light waterproof grease is in order. Failure to do so could lead to steering system failure that
would result in loss of control.
When new, or after repairs, hydraulic steering systems may need to have all air purged from the
system. Review the information provided by the steering manufacturer for proper specifications
and details on system service and maintenance.
Trim Tab Maintenance

FUEL SYSTEM
3.1 General
The gasoline 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. Thisinspection assures that the system is air tight,
leak proof and safe. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to maintain that condition. Make
frequent inspections to assure that no deterioration or loosening of connections is resulting from
vibration.
DONOTLET THE ODOR OF GASOLINE GO UNCHECKED. ANY ODOR
OF GASOLINE MUST BEIMMEDIATELY INVESTIGATED AND STEPS
TAKEN TO PROTECT THE BOAT AND ITS OCCUPANTS UNTIL THE
PROBLEM IS CORRECTED. IF THE ODOR OF GASOLINE IS NOTED,
SHUT OFF ALL ENGINES AND ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT TO INVES-
TIGATE AND CORRECT THE SITUATION IMMEDIATELY. HAVE
ALL PASSENGERS PUT ON PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICES AND
KEEP FIRE EXTINGUISHER READY UNTIL THE SITUATION IS RE-
SOLVED.
Fuel Withdrawal Tube
The fuel withdrawal tube is positioned in the fuel tank to achieve optimum fuel usage, fuel line
routing, etc. Atcertain speeds and hull trim angles, the fuel supply at the withdrawal tank location
can increase or decrease accordingly. Be extremely careful when attempting to operate the boat
when low on fuel. Though some fuel may be in the tank, the relative trim angle of the boat may
cause the fuel to flow away from the withdrawal.
Fuel Gauge
This indicates the amount of fuel in the tank. Due to the mechanical nature of the fuel sender,
variations in readings during various speeds of operation may occur. This system is merely a
relative-indication of the-avaitable fuel supply and nota calibrated instrument:

Fuel Fill
The fuel deck plate is located on the deck, and is marked “GAS.”
Be sure to use the proper type and grade fuel. Referto the engine
owner’s manual for additional information.
Fuel Vent
The fuel vent is located on the side of the hull. While the tank
is being filled, the air displaced by the fuel escapes through the
vent. When the tank is full, fuel will be ejected from the fuel
vent.
Fuel Fill
After fueling, replace the fill cap, and wash the areas around the fuel fill plate and below the fuel
vent. Residual fuel left on the deck and hull sides can be dangerous, and will yellow the fiberglass
or damage the striping.
3.2 Outboard Fuel System
The fuel system on the Pursuit 1950 has one fuel tank. The fuel tank is mounted in the center of
the bilge and the withdrawal line is equipped with an anti-syphon valve where the fuel line
attaches to the fuel tank. This valve prevents gasoline from syphoning out of the fuel tank should
a line rupture.
RE-INSTALL OR REPLACE.
A fuel filter is installed in the transom area of the boat. The filter is
the water separator type and 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 filter be
inspected periodically and the element changed as needed.

3.4 Fuel System Maintenance
Periodically inspect all primer bulbs, connections, clamps and hoses for leakage and damage or
deterioration. Replace as necessary. Spray the valves, fuel gauge and ground connections with
a metal protector.
Periodically, remove the small screen from the fuel vent, and clean the vent and screen ofany dirt,
etc. Be sure the screen is replaced securely after cleaning. The screen will prevent insects and
other foreign matter from contaminating the fuel and fuel system.
Contaminated fuel may cause serious damage to your engine. The filter must be checked for
water and other contamination frequently. Water is drained from the filter by placing a cup under
the filter and draining through the petcock at the bottom of the filter until clean fuel flows. The
filter contains an element that must be changed at least once a season or more frequently
depending on the quality of the fuel.
DO NOT DRAIN ANY FUEL INTO THE BILGE, THIS COULD LEAD TO
A FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
AFTER THE FILTER ELEMENT HAS BEEN CHANGED, PRIME THE
FUEL SYSTEM AND CHECK ALL FITTINGS FOR LEAKS BEFORE
AND AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
4.1 General
Your Pursuit is equipped with a 12-volt D.C. electrical system that draws current from an on-
board battery.
The 12-volt batteries in your boat are the lead-acid type. They will require maintenance simila
to those found in automobiles. |
There are electrical schematics included in this manual to aid in following an individual circuit
of the boat.
4.2 12-Volt System
The 12-volt systemis a fairly standard system. There is one battery controlled by one (1) battery
switch. The battery is charged by the engine. All 12-volt power is distributed to the 12-volt
accessories through individual circuit breakers located in the 12-volt switch panels. A main in-
line fuse or circuit breaker located near the battery switch protects the system from an overload.
Another in-line fuse or circuit breaker near the switch protects the circuit for the automatic float
switch for the bilge pump. Most 12-volt accessories are operated directly by switches in the helm
and accessory switch panels.
PROPER FUSE OR BREAKER PROTECTION MUST BE PROVIDED
FOR ALL 12-VOLT EQUIPMENT ADDED. DO NOT OVERLOAD THE
ACCESSORY CIRCUIT BREAKERS OR OTHER CIRCUITRY
THROUGH ADDITIONAL 12-VOLT EQUIPMENT.
Battery Switch
The on/off battery switch is located in the transom area of the
boat. The switch feeds the engine and the 12-volt accessory
panel. When the switch is in the “ON” position, the engine
and the 12-volt system will be supplied power. The battery _
switch should be turned to the “OFF” position when leaving
the boat unattended.

RAW WATER SYSTEM
Raw Water System
(For detailed schematic, see Chapter 12)
5.1 General
In the raw or sea water systems, all water pumps are supplied by a single hose connected to a ball
valve 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 sea water to the various accessories.
Priming the System
Make sure the ball valves are open. Open the hose connector for the raw water washdown and
activate the pressure pump by turning the washdown pump switch to the “ON” position. Run
the pump until all of the air is purged from the system and then turn the switch off. Open the
valve in the livewell and turn the livewell switch to the “ON” position. Run the pump until all
ofthe air is purged from the system and then turn the switch to the “OFF” position. Ifthe livewell
pump runs but does not prime, it may have an air lock at the pump. Running the boat at 10 miles
per hour or above will force water through the pump removing the air lock and allowing the pump
to prime.
oa
PURSUIT. 1950 DUAL CONSOLE
Note:
5.2 High Pressure Washdown (Optional)
A 12-volt high pressure pump, controlled by a pressure sensor,
supplies the raw water hose connector located in the cockpit.
The pump is activated by the washdown switch located in the
helm or the rear of the cockpit. This switch should be turned to
the “ON” position just before using the washdown and be turned
to the “OFF” position when the washdown is not in use.
When activated, the pressure switch will automatically control
the pump. As the pressure builds in the washdown hose, the
pump will shut off. When the washdown hose is in use and the

pressure drops, the pump will turn on.
Washdown Pump
The raw water washdown system is equipped with a sea strainer located on the intake side of the
pump. This should be checked frequently and cleaned as necessary.
Th h
n Pum nnection
The washdown pump hose connection 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 UN-
ATTENDED.
DO NOT RUN THE HIGH PRESSURE PUMP DRY FOR
EXTENDED PERIODS AS DAMAGE TO THE PUMP
WILL RESULT.
Toa
PURSUIT, 1950 DUAL CONSOLE
5.3 Livewell (Optional)
Sea water is provided to the livewell by a 12-volt circulation pump. This pump is designed to
carry a constant flow of water to the livewell. The pump does not have a pressure sensor. It is
activated by the baitwell switch in the 12-volt panel or a separate switch in the cockpit. The flow
of water can be regulated by the valve in the livewell. Care must be taken not to close the valve
to the point that it severely restricts the water flow. A severely restricted water flow can cause
damage to the livewell pump. 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.
The livewell raw water intake is equipped with a scoop that will supply water to the livewell if
the pump should fail. To supply water to the livewell using the scoop, make sure the thru hull
and livewell valves are open and run the boat at a speed above 10 miles per hour. Water will
circulate through the livewell and out the overflow.
The livewell supply thru hull valve should be closed whenever the livewell is not in use. This
will prevent water from entering the livewell while the boat is cruising.
5.4 Raw Water System Maintenance
The following items should be done routinely to help maintain your raw water system.
e Check hoses, particularly the sea water supply line, for signs of deterioration.
e Remove and clean the sea water strainer.
e Spray pumps with a protective oil periodically.
SHOULD A HOSE RUPTURE, TURN THE PUMP OFF IMMEDIATELY.
ALWAYS CLOSE THE THRU HULL VALVE WHEN PERFORMING
MAINTENANCE ON A SEA WATER PUMP.
ANY PUMPS FROM A BATTERY WITH A LOW CHARGE MAY LEAD

If the alarm sounds;
e Immediately throttle the engine back to idle.
e Shift the transmission to neutral.
e Monitor the engine gauges to determine the cause of the problem.
e Ifnecessary, shut off the engine and investigate until the cause of the problem is
found.
7.2 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.
Ifthe 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. See your Pursuit dealer for necessary control and cable
adjustments.
7.3 Kill Switch
All Pursuit boats rigged with outboard motors are equipped with a kill switch and lanyard. When
the lanyard is pulled it will engage the switch and shut off the engine. We strongly recommend
that the lanyard be attached to the driver whenever the engine is running. If the engine will not
start, it could be because the lanyard is not properly inserted into the kill switch. Always make
sure the lanyard is properly attached to the kill switch before attempting to start the engine.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
10.1 Exterior Hull and Deck
Hull Cleaning-Below Th r Lin
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.
TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE FIBERGLASS, DO NOT SAND THE
OUTER BOTTOM SURFACE OF THE BOAT.
Ifthe hull bottom has been painted with antifouling paint, contact your dealer for the recommend-
ed maintenance procedures.
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. Because of variations in water temperature, 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. This is extremely
important as pollution and marine growth can damage fiberglass hulls.
Zincs
Sacrificial zinc anodes are installed on the outboard engines and should be installed on the trim
tabs if the boat is to be left in the water. Contact your dealer for the proper size and type of zinc
anodes to be used and the specific installation procedure. Zincs should be checked monthly and
changed when they are. 75% of their original size.
Fiberol l rf,
Normal maintenance requires only washing with mild soap and water. A stiff brush can be used
onthenon-skid areas. Kerosene or commercially prepared products will remove oil and tar which
could be a problem on trailered boats. Harsh abrasive and chemical cleaners are not recommend-
ed because they can damage or dull the gelcoat, reducing its life and making it more susceptible
to stains. When the boat is used in saltwater, it should be washed thoroughly with soap and water
after each use.
At least once a season, wash and wax all exposed fiberglass surfaces. Use a high quality
automotive or boat wax. Follow the procedure recommended by the wax manufacturer.
oa 10-1
PÜRSUIT. 1950 DUAL CONSOLE
The washing and waxing of your boat will have the same beneficial effects as they have on an
automobile finish. The wax will fill minute scratches and pores thus helping to prevent soiling
and will extend the life of the gelcoat.
After the boat is exposed to the direct sunlight for a period of time, the color in the gelcoat tends
to fade, dull or chalk. A heavier buffing is required to bring the gelcoat back to its original luster.
For power cleaning, use a light cleaner such as Mirror Glaze #1®. To clean the boat by hand, use
a heavier automotive cleaner. Before cleaning the surfaces, read the instructions given with the
cleaner. After cleaning the surfaces, apply wax, and polish all fiberglass surfaces except the non-
skid areas.
A pamphlet called, “Congratulations, Welcome to the Fiberglass Fleet,” is included in the
literature packet. For more information on the care of fiberglass, read the pamphlet.
If the fiberglass should become damaged and need repair, contact your dealer for an authorized
repair person to do the work.

inl 1 Hardwar
When using the boat in saltwater, the hardware should be washed with soap and water after each
use. When yourboatis 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.
ALS SUCH AS SANDPAPER, BRONZE WOOL, OR STEEL WOOL BE
USED ON STAINLESS STEEL. DAMAGE TO THE HARDWARE WILL

Anodized Aluminum Surfaces
Normally, the only maintenance that is required with anodized aluminum is to periodically wash
it with soap and water. Ifthe boat is used in polluted or saltwater, the aluminum should be washed
with soap and water after each use. Saltwater allowed to remain on anodized aluminum could
penetrate the anodized coating and attack the aluminum.

10.2 Upholstery, Canvas and Enclosures
Vinyl Upholstery
The vinyl upholstery used on the exterior seats and bolsters in your boat should be cleaned
periodically with soap and water. Avoid using products containing ammonia or harsh chemicals
> 10-3
PURSUIT. 1950 DUAL CONSOLE
as they can shorten the life of vinyl. A vinyl protector will protect and extend the life of vinyl.
One drawback to vinyl protectors is that they may make the vinyl slippery. You may find this
to be undesirable in some applications.
Acrylic Canvas
Acrylic canvas should be cleaned periodically by using a mild detergent and water. Scrub lightly
and rinse thoroughly.
After several years, the acrylic canvas may lose some of its ability to shed water. If this occurs,
wash the fabric and treat it with a commercially available waterproofing designed for this
purpose.
Note: Some leakage at the seams is normal and unavoidable with acrylic enclo-
sures.
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 a Plexiglas® and clear plastic protector to
extend the life of the curtains.
ON. THE LEMON JUICE WILL ATTACK THE VINYL AND SHORTEN
1 DO NOT USE ANY POLISH CONTAINING LEMON SCENTS OR LEM-
ITS LIFE.
10.3 Bilge
To keep the bilge clean and fresh, it is recommended that you use a commercial bilge cleaner on
a regular basis. Follow the directions carefully. All exposed pumps and metal components in
the bilge should be sprayed periodically with a protector to reduce the corrosive effects of the high
humidity always present in these areas.

SEASONAL MAINTENANCE
11.1 Lay-up and Storage
Before Storing
The fuel tank should be left nearly full. In winter storing, with a full tank, a fuel winterizer is
recommended to reduce fuel deterioration. For more recommendations for your specific area,
check with your local Pursuit dealer. Operate the boat for 15 minutes to allow the treated fuel to
reach the engine.
Consult the engine owner’s manual for detailed information on preparing the engine for storage.
Lifting
! BOATS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED FROM IMPROPER LIFTING AND
ROUGH HANDLING WHEN BEING TRANSPORTED BY LIFT
TRUCKS. CARE AND PROPER HANDLING PROCEDURES MUST BE
USED WHEN USING A LIFT TRUCK TO MOVE THE BOAT. NEVER
ATTEMPT TO LIFT THE BOAT WITH A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF
WATER IN THE BILGE.
SEVERE GELCOAT CRAZING OR MORE SERIOUS HULL DAMAGE
CAN OCCUR DURING HAULING AND LAUNCHING IF PRESSURE IS
CREATED ON THE GUNWALES (SHEER) BY THE SLINGS. SPREAD-
ERS ARE NOT REQUIRED IF BELTS ARE NOT CREATING PRESSURE
(CABLE DRUMS FURTHER APART THAN BEAM OF BOAT). FLAT,
WIDE BELTING SLINGS AND SPREADERS LONG ENOUGH TO KEEP
PRESSURE FROM THE GUNWALES IS ESSENTIAL. DO NOT ALLOW
ANYONE TO HAUL YOUR BOAT WHEN THE SPREADERS ON THE
LIFT ARE NOT WIDE ENOUGH TO TAKE THE PRESSURE OFF THE
GUNWALES,
Supporting The Boat For Storage
Your trailer 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:
e Make sure the rollers and pads support the hull of the boat.
e Make sure the trailer hitch is level and there is support under the hitch.
oa 11-1
PURSUIT. 1950 DUAL CONSOLE
e Make sure the engine is in the down position.
e Check the tires once each season. Add enough air for the correct amount of inflation
for the tires.
Note: Read the owner’s manual for the trailer for the correct amount of inflation
for the tires.
When storing the boat on a cradle:
e The cradle must be specifically for boat storage.
e Make sure the cradle is well supported and placed on a level surface.
e The cradle must be in the proper fore and aft position to properly support the hull.
When the cradle is in the correct location, the bunks should match the bottom of hull.
Preparing The Boat For Stor
e Remove the bilge drain plug(s), if installed.
e Thoroughly wash the fiberglass exterior, especially the anti-fouling 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.
e Remove propeller and grease the propeller shaft using light waterproof grease.
Remove the battery(s) and store in a cool place. Clean using clear, clean water. Be
sure the battery has sufficient water and clean terminals. Keep the battery(s) charged
and safe from freezing throughout the storage period.
Refer to Chapter4, Electrical Systems, for information on the maintenance ofthe D.C.
electrical systems.
e Coat all faucets and exposed electrical components in the cockpit with a protecting
oil.
e (lean out, totally drain and completely dry the fishboxes.
oz 11-2
PURSUIT, 1950 DUAL CONSOLE
e (Clean the exterior upholstery with a good vinyl cleaner and dry thoroughly.
e Remove as many cushions and open as many locker doors as possible. Leaving as
many of these areas open as possible will improve the boat’s ventilation during the
storage period.
11.2 Winterizing
R r m
Completely drain the raw water systems. Disconnect all hoses and blow the water from the
system. Use only very low air pressure when doing this to prevent possible system damage. A
recommended alternative to the above-mentioned procedure is the use of commercially available
non-toxic, potable water system antifreeze. If potable water antifreeze is used, pour the mixture
into a pail and put the raw water intake lines into the solution. Run the pumps one at a time until
the antifreeze solution is visible at all raw water faucets and discharge fittings and drains. Be sure
antifreeze has flowed through all of the raw water drains.
For additional information on the raw water system refer to Chapter 5.
Bilge
Coat all metal components, wire busses, and connector plugs in the bilge with a protecting oil.
It is also important to protect all pumps, seacocks and steering components.
The bilge pumps and bilge pump lines must be completely free of water and dried out when the
boat is laid-up for the winter in climates where freezing occurs. Compartments in the bilge that
will not drain completely should be pumped out and then sponged until completely free of water.
Dry the hull bilge and self-bailing cockpit troughs. Water freezing in these areas could cause
damage.
ial Prior To Winter Stor
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 accumula-
tion, etc. It is essential to fasten the canvas down securely so that the winds cannot remove it or
cause chafing of the hull superstructure. Do not store the boat in a damp storage enclosure.
Excessive dampness can cause electrical problems, corrosion, and excessive mildew.
Whenever possible, do not use the bimini top or convertible top canvas in place of the winter
storage cover. The life of these canvases may be significantly shortened if exposed to harsh
weather elements for long periods.
“Tan 11-3
PURSUIT. 1950 DUAL CONSOLE
PLACING AN ELECTRIC OR FUEL BURNING HEATING UNIT IN THE
BOAT CAN BE POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS AND IS NOT RECOM-
MENDED.
Proper storage is very important to prevent serious damage to the boat. Ifthe boat is to be stored
indoors, make sure the building has enough ventilation. It is very important that there is enough
ventilation both inside the boat and around the boat.
11.3 Recommissioning
DO NOT OPERATE THE BOAT UNLESS IT IS COMPLETELY ASSEM-
BLED. KEEP ALL FASTENERS TIGHT. KEEP ADJUSTMENTS
ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATIONS.
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 DRAIN PLUG IS
4h INSTALLED.
R ivatino The B After Stor
e Charge and install the batteries.
e Install the drain plugs in the hull.
e Check the engine for damage and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
recommissioning.
e Perform all routine maintenance.
e Check all hose clamps for tightness.
e Pump the antifreeze from the raw water system and flush several times with fresh
water.
e Check and lubricate the steering system.
Toa 11-4
PURSUIT, 1950 DUAL CONSOLE
e (Clean and wash the boat.
e Install all cushions and canvas.
After Launching
e (Carefully check all water systems for leaks. Operate each system one at a time
checking for leaks and proper operation.
e Check the bilge pump manual and automatic switches.
e Prime the fuel system and start the engine. When the engine starts, check the cooling
system port below the engine cowling for a strong stream of water. This insures that
the cooling pump is operating. Carefully monitor the gauges and check for leakage
and abnormal noises. Operate the boat at slow speeds until the engine temperature
stabilizes and all systems are operating normally.
