PROPULSION SYSTEM
1.1 General
The Pursuit 2470 Walkaround is designed to be powered with single or twin 2-cycle or 4-cycle
outboardmotors.
4-cycleoutboard engines do not use an oil injection system and are not equipped with remoteoil
tanks. Theyhaveanoilsumpinthecrankcasethatmustbekeptfullofthetypeofoilrecommended
by the engine manufacturer. The oil must be checked before each use and changed regularly.
Eachmanufacturerofthevariousoutboardmotorsprovidesanowner’sinformationmanualwith
itsproduct. It is important thatyou read the manual verycarefully and become familiarwiththe
proper care and operation of the engine and drive system. A warranty registration card has been
furnishedwitheachnewengineandcanbelocatedintheengineowner’smanual. Allinformation
requested on this card should be filled out completely by the purchaser and then returned to the
respectiveengine manufacturer assoonaspossible.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE ANY ENGINE OR DRIVE COMPONENT
WITHOUT BEING TOTALLY FAMILIAR WITH THE SAFE AND PROPER
SERVICE PROCEDURES. CERTAIN MOVING PARTS ARE EXPOSED AND
CAN BE DANGEROUS TO SOMEONE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE OPERATION
AND FUNCTION OF THE EQUIPMENT.

2470 WALKAROUND
1.2 Corrosion
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
growthand galvanic corrosion.
Marinegrowth occurs when componentsareleftin the water forextendedperiodsand can cause
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.
Galvaniccorrosionisthecorrosionprocessoccurringwhendifferentmetalsaresubmergedinan
electrolyte. Sea water is an electrolyte and submerged engine components must be properly
protected. Outboard motors are equipped with sacrificial anodes to prevent galvanic corrosion
problems. The anodes must be monitored and replaced as necessary. For locations and
maintenance, please refer to the engine owner's manual.
Whenleavingtheboatinthewater,tiltthemotorashighaspossible. Thiswill decreasetherisk
ofmarinegrowtharoundthecoolinginlets,propellerandexhaustportsanddamagefromgalvanic
corrosion.
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 INFORMATION ON
THE PROPER PAINTING PROCEDURES.
1.3 Engine Lubrication
2-cycle outboard motors are lubricated by a variable ratio oil injection system. The oil tanks are
mounted below the stern bait station near the transom. Always monitor the oil level before each
cruisebycheckingthegaugeinthehelmorvisuallycheckingtheoillevelusingthereferencemarks
on the tanks. When additional oil is needed, use only the type of oil specified by the engine
manufacturer. Refertotheengineowner’smanualforoilspecificationsandadditionalinformation
onthe oilinjectionsystem.
Alwaysmonitor theoil level inthe tanksand only usethe typeof oil specified
by the engine manufacturer.

NOTICE

2470 WALKAROUND
4-cycleoutboardengineshaveanoil sump in the crankcase that must be kept full of the type and
gradeofoilrecommendedbytheenginemanufacturer. Itisnormalfor4-cycleenginestoconsume
asmallamountof oil. Therefore,theoil mustbe checkedbeforeeach useandchangedatregular
intervalsas instructed by theengine owner'smanual. As with 2-cycle engines, useonly the type
ofoilspecified by the engine manufacturer.
1.4 Engine Cooling System
Outboard engines are raw water (sea water) cooled. Water is pumped through the water inlets,
circulatedthroughtheengineblock,andrelinquishedwiththeexhaustgasesthroughthepropeller
hub. Thewaterpumpusesasmallimpellermadeofsyntheticrubber. Theimpellerandwaterpump
cannot run dry for more than a few seconds. In most outboard motors, some cooling water is
divertedthroughsmallportsbelowtheenginecowling. Thisallowstheoperatortovisuallycheck
theoperationofthecoolingsystem. Whentheengineisstarted,alwayscheckforasteadystream
of water coming out of those ports.
NEVER RUN AN OUTBOARD MOTOR WITHOUT WATER FLOWING TO THE WATER
PUMP. SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE WATER PUMP IMPELLER OR ENGINE COULD RE-
SULT.
Note: Iftheboatisusedinsaltorbadlypollutedwater,theengine(s)shouldbeflushedafter
each use. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for the proper engine flushing pro-
cedure.

2470 WALKAROUND
RUNNING AGROUND OR STRIKING AN UNDERWATER OBSTRUCTION CAN
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR OR BOAT.
IF YOUR BOAT RUNS AGROUND, EVALUATE THE DAMAGE THEN PRO-
CEED 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 CANNOT 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
Thehelm stationisequippedwithasetofengine
instruments and/or alarms. These instruments
allowthepilottomonitortheengine’soperational

mentsallowsthepilottooperatetheengine(s) at

fromseriouscostlydamage. Theinstrumentation
isuniquetothetypeofoutboardmotorsinstalled
on your Pursuit. Some or all of the following
gauges may be present.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the speed of the engine(s) 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 MAXIMUM RPM
FOR EXTENDED PERIODS CAN REDUCE THE LIFE OF THE ENGINE.
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the speed of the boat in miles per hour.
TemperatureWarning
The temperature warning indicates the temperature of the engine. A sudden increase in the
temperaturecouldindicate anobstructed waterinlet oran impellerfailure.
