Welcome to the Pathfinder Family!
Thank you for choosing a Pathfinder boat to transport
you to your angling dreams. We believe the
Pathfinder 2400 TRS is the best all-purpose boat on
the market, and we’re sure that you’ll be completely
satisfied with the unmatched performance, quality
and fishability of your new boat.
We value your input, not just at the time of the sale,
but throughout the entire boat ownership period, and
we’ve taken steps to allow you to share that
information. Over the next year or so, you will receive
at least two questionnaires to fill out and return.
Be sure to visit our website www.pathfinderboats.com
to find information on company events like our
Owner’s Tournaments and Corporate Calendar. You’ll
find a wealth of information on our Forum, where you
can ask questions, get answers and join other
Pathfinder owners to discuss all applications of your
boat. We’re proud to have you as a member of the
Pathfinder family!
Tight lines and screaming drags!

Maintenance & Cleaning
Maintenance
Pathfinder advises owners that maintenance and repairs should be performed at an
authorized Pathfinder Dealer. The following information is general in nature and should
not be considered a repair manual or guidelines set forth by Maverick Boat Group.
Cleaning
Each Pathfinder boat is constructed using the finest materials and components
available. However, no material is immune to the ravages of the saltwater environment.
After each use, your boat should be rinsed thoroughly with fresh water. Refer to page 27
for upholstery care and cleaning instructions. A light coat of lubricant on metal railing,
screws and electrical connections will help prevent electrolysis. The same holds true for
your trailer. To improve the longevity of your gel coat, it is recommended that you wax
your boat once a year using an approved fiberglass wax.

Engine Break-In Period
Engine Break-In Period
New engines require a period of break-in to allow the surfaces of the moving parts to
mate evenly. Different engines require different break-in periods and methods. For
instructions on break-in methods, refer to your Yamaha Engine Owner’s Manual for the
correct break-in procedures and times for your model engines.
Engine Stop Switch
If activated, the spring-loaded engine stop switch
will automatically shut down the engine during
emergency situations to prevent uncontrolled or
unattended operation. Certain emergency
conditions (e.g., turbulent water, wakes,
unanticipated movement) may impair a person’s
ability to operate the craft safely. The switch, located
on the helm, must have the safety lanyard attached
at its base. This activates the protective shutdown
circuitry.
Securely attach the other end of the lanyard to the operator of the boat. If the operator
moves, falls or is at an unsafe distance from the steering wheel, tension on the lanyard
will pull it from the switch. When the lanyard is removed, the engine stop switch is
released and automatic engine shutdown occurs.
Engine Stop Switch
DANGER:
An engine stop switch system that is not used or does not function
properly can cause death or serious injury. DO NOT operate the boat if
the engine stop switch system does not function properly. Go to a
Pathfinder Dealer to have this resolved immediately.
The lanyard should be securely attached to the boat operator at all times that
the engine is on.

Switch Panel & Helm
Switch Panel & Helm
At the helm of your Pathfinder, you have a main
switch panel, which is located above the steering
wheel. This panel controls your lights, horn,
accessories, livewell, and your bilge. The bilge switch
is an on-demand switch to run your bilge pump and
is used as a backup in case the float indicator in your
bilge pump becomes clogged.
To the right of the steering wheel you have your two
trim tab switches, which are standard on the 2400
TRS. The boat also comes standard with a compass
mounted on top of the console.
Gauges
The instrument panel on your Pathfinder 2600 TRS is composed of one Yamaha digital
gauge and a series of dual activation switches. The switches come with accessory plug-
ins for wiring additional electronics, pumps or electrical circuits.
The standard digital gauge includes a
Yamaha tachometer and a Yamaha
speedometer on one screen. The
tachometer has several built-in features
including an engine temperature monitor,
oil level monitor and engine trim indicator.
The speedometer includes a digital readout
of the speed, an hour meter, trip meter and
clock. For more information on the
specifics of your Yamaha gauges, see your
Yamaha owner's manual.

Fuel-Water Separator & Drain
Fuel-Water Separator
Each Pathfinder 2400 TRS is equipped with a fuel water
separator to ensure maximum performance and protect the
outboard engine from contaminated gasoline. The fuel separator
is a metal, cylindrical unit secured to the transom section of
your starboard aft rigging box.
The fuel separator can be checked by removing it from the
mounting bracket in the rigging locker and dumping it into an
approved waste collection device. If there appears to be an
excessive amount of water, the filter component should be
changed. See your authorized Pathfinder dealer for replacement
parts.
Maintenance Note: Yamaha recommends replacing the 10-
micron fuel filter on new boats after the first 10 hours or 1 month of
operation and every 50 hours or every 6 months thereafter. In
areas of high humidity where water in fuel supplies is a problem or
extensive engine operation occurs, more frequent replacement
may be necessary.

Garboard Drain Plug
The garboard drain plug is the small metal plug located at
the lowest point on the hull, at the bottom of the transom
right above the keel. The drain has been designed so that it
can be loosened by hand while the hull is out of the water
for draining. This allows the plug to stay in contact with
the surrounding frame so you’ll never misplace or lose it.
You can completely remove the insert by pulling back and
continue turning in a counter-clockwise motion. It is
manufactured with a rubber seal in place to ensure your bilge is watertight. Always
make sure before putting the boat in the water that this plug is hand tightened firmly.
Excess water in the bilge may be an indication of a problem with this plug or the
automatic bilge pump.
Bilge
Bilge
The bilge of your Pathfinder should always be checked before and after a launch. While
checking the bilge, note that a small amount of water in the bilge is normal. However, a
large amount of water or any signs of fuel or oil requires immediate attention. If such a
situation exists, the boat should be taken to a certified marine technician
immediately. Never pump fuel or oil overboard while your boat is in the
water.
Large quantities of water in the bilge may be an indication of a leak or that the bilge
pump and/or automatic float switch is not functioning properly due to a jam, clog or
electrical issue. The automatic float switch is wired to the 24-hour side of the battery
