the location of the serial number(s).
IMPORTANT:
All boat manufacturers are required by the Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971 to notify first time

Chapter 1:
PROPULSION SYSTEM
1.1 General
The Pursuit 2470 Walkaround is designed to be powered with either a single outboard engine or
twinoutboardengines. Outboardmotorsuseanoilinjectionsystem. Oilisautomaticallyinjected
in the engine(s) and mixed at the proper ratio from oil tank(s) 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.
Eachmanufacturerofthevariousoutboardmotorsprovidesanowner’sinformationmanualwith
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
informationrequestedonthiscardshouldbefilledoutcompletelybythedealerandpurchaserand
then returned to the respective engine manufacturer as soon as possible.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE ANY ENGINE OR DRIVE COMPONENT WITHOUT
BEING TOTALLY FAMILIAR WITH THE SAFE AND PROPER SERVICE PROCE-
DURES. CERTAIN MOVING PARTS ARE EXPOSED AND CAN BE DANGEROUS TO
SOMEONE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE OPERATION AND FUNCTION OF THE EQUIP-
MENT.

2470 WALKAROUND
DO NOT INHALE EXHAUST FUMES! EXHAUST CONTAINS CARBON MONOXIDE
THAT IS COLORLESS AND ODORLESS. CARBON MONOXIDE 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
maintenanceoutlinedintheengineowner’smanual,thereislittletobeconcernedwithunlessthe
boat is to be kept in saltwater for extended periods of time. Then, the main concerns are marine
growth and electrolysis.
Marinegrowth occurs when components are left inthe water for extended periods and cancause
poorperformanceorpermanentdamagetotheexposedcomponents. Thetypeofgrowthandhow
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 motor 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 DE-
SIGNED FOR BOAT HULLS. MANY OF THESE PAINTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE
DAMAGE TO THE ENGINES. CONTACT YOUR PURSUIT DEALER OR ENGINE
MANUFACTURER FOR INFORMATION ON THE PROPER PAINTING PROCE-
DURES.
1.3 Engine Lubrication
Your outboard motor is lubricated by a variable ratio oil injection
system. Theoiltank(s)aremountedinthesternoftheboat. Always
monitortheoillevelbeforeeachcruisebycheckingthegaugeinthe
helmorvisuallycheckingtheoillevelusingthereferencemarkson
the tank. When additional oil is needed, use only the type of oil
specified by the engine manufacturer. Refer to the engine owner's
manual for oil specifications and additional information on the oil injection system.
