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 engines used. The following control description is

typical of most outboard remote controls. Refer to the engine

or control manuals for specific information on the controls

installed on your Pursuit.

The engine throttle and shift control systems consist of three

major components: the control handles, the throttle cable and

the shift cable. The cables are all the push-pull type. Two cables

are required for each engine. One cable connects the remote

throttle control to the carburetor or fuel injectors 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 each 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.
