1. Trim Tab Maintenance Marine growth can interfere with the proper operation of the trim tab planes and actuators To reduce problems due to marine growth always return the trim tabs to the full UP position after operating the boat and periodically inspect and clean marine growth from the actuators and planes The trim tab fluid should be checked often Keep the fluid level between the marks on the trim tab pump reservoir The trim tabs are equipped with a zinc anode to prevent galvanic corrosion Galvanic corrosion is the corrosion process occurring when different metals are submerged in an electrolyte Sea wateris an electrolyte and submerged metal components must be properly protected The anodes will need to be monitored and changed when they are 75 of their original size Refer to the trim tab owner s manual for additional maintenance information fluid specifications and operating instructions PURSUIT 3000 EXPRESS 2 5 THIS PAGE WAS LEFT BLANK INTENTIONALLY PURSUIT 3000 EXPRESS Chapter 3 FUEL SYSTEM 3 1 General The 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 n effect at the time of manufacture All gasoline and diesel fuel systems have been factory inspected and pressure tested in accordance with regulations in effect at the time of manufacture This inspection ass

3. The correct procedure for checking the shaft alignment so a boat owner can determine if service work is required 1s as follows Step 1 Remove the bolts that secure the propeller shaft flanges PURSUIT 3000 EXPRESS 1 7 Step 2 Hold the propeller shaft flange firmly against the transmission flange Step 3 Try to insert a 004 feeler gauge at the top the bottom and at both sides between the flanges Ifitcan be easily inserted between the flanges in any area try inserting a larger feeler gauge until you determine the amount of variance Step 4 While holding the transmission flange turn the prop shaft 90 degrees and repeat step 3 A straight shaft in proper alignment will not allow the insertion of a feeler gauge larger than 004 regardless of the prop shaft position Step 5 Ifa gap larger than 004 is found and the gap moves as the shaft flange is rotated the flange or the prop shaft 1s bent out of tolerance and must be replaced or removed and straightened If the gap remains at the same position regardless of the propeller shaft rotated position the engine must be realigned At this point a Pursuit dealer should be contacted NOTE The boat should always be at rest in the water when checking or aligning the propeller shaft A MAKE SURE THE PROPELLER SHAFT FLANGE BOLTS ARE TIGHTENED SECURE LY AFTER CHECKING THE ENGINE ALIGNMENT AND BEFORE OPERATING THE BOAT SPECIAL NOTE Lifting the boat with lifting straps over t
