Why is the hydraulic steering on my PURSUIT 2670 Denali Boat slow to respond and erratic?
- M
  Mr. Christopher WebbAug 15, 2025
  If the hydraulic steering on your PURSUIT Boat is slow or erratic, several factors could be the cause. The steering system might be low on fluid or have air in it; in either case, fill and bleed the system. A component in the steering system or the engine steering spindle could be binding, so check, adjust, or repair any binding components and grease the spindle. Also, the engine steering tab might be corroded or out of adjustment, requiring replacement or adjustment.

What to do if the engine of my PURSUIT 2670 Denali will not start in neutral?

  richardskristenAug 18, 2025
  If the engine on your PURSUIT Boat won't start when the shift control lever is in neutral, it could be due to several reasons. The control cable might be out of adjustment, preventing activation of the neutral safety cut-out switch, so adjust the control cable. The shift control lever might not be in the neutral detent, so try moving the shift lever slightly. A loose wire on the neutral safety switch on the transmission could also be the cause, so inspect wires and repair loose connections. In some cases, the starter or ignition switch may be faulty, requiring replacement.

Why won't the engine on my PURSUIT 2670 Denali Boat operate over 2000 RPM?
- P
  Pedro McdonaldAug 21, 2025
  If the engine of your PURSUIT Boat suddenly won't operate over 2000 RPM, the engine emergency system may have been activated, so find and correct the problem. The tachometer might be faulty and needs replacement. A sticky anti-siphon valve in the fuel line near the fuel tank could be restricting fuel flow, so remove, clean, or replace the anti-siphon valve. Inspect and replace the remote gasoline fuel filter and the primary fuel filter on the engine if they are dirty. It's also possible that the electronic engine control system is malfunctioning, requiring repair.

Why is my PURSUIT 2670 Denali Boat sluggish and losing speed and RPM?
- A
  Alexander SerranoAug 26, 2025
  If your PURSUIT Boat is sluggish and has lost speed and RPM, consider these potential causes: marine growth may need to be cleaned from the hull and running gear. The propeller may be damaged and need repair, or there might be weeds or line around it, so clean the propeller. The boat might be overloaded, so reduce the load. Check for excessive water in the bilge, and if found, pump it out and correct the problem. Adjust the throttle cable if the throttle adjustments have changed and the engine is not getting full throttle. If the propeller or propeller shaft is bent, repair or replace the damaged components. Clean the running gear if it is fouled by marine growth or rope. Finally, trim the engine properly.

What causes the engine alternator on my PURSUIT Boat to not charge properly?
- S
  Sue MillerAug 28, 2025
  If the engine alternator on your PURSUIT Boat is not charging properly, the battery cable may be loose or corroded, so clean and tighten the battery cables. The alternator itself might be faulty and needs replacement. The engine battery isolator in the charging system could also be malfunctioning, requiring replacement. Finally, the battery itself may be defective, so replace the battery.

What to do if the engine of my PURSUIT 2670 Denali is running too hot?
- J
  jennifer74Aug 31, 2025
  If the engine of your PURSUIT Boat is running too hot, the engine raw water pick up strainer may be clogged with marine growth, so clean the pick up. The engine raw water pump impeller may be worn or damaged, requiring repair of the pump. Also, the engine thermostat may be faulty and needs to be replaced.

How to fix a livewell pump on my PURSUIT Boat that runs but doesn't pump water?
- G
  Gabriel PerezSep 3, 2025
  If the livewell pump on your PURSUIT Boat runs but doesn't pump water, the strainer on the intake scoop might be clogged, preventing water from reaching the pump, so put the boat in reverse to clean the strainer. There could be an air lock in the system; running the boat above 15 m.p.h. may force the air lock past the pump and prime the system. Ensure the thru-hull valve and the valve in the livewell are open. Check if the in-line fuse near the battery switch has blown and replace it if necessary. The pump impeller may be jammed by debris, so clean the pump impeller housing. If none of these solutions work, the pump may be defective and needs replacement.

What to do if the float switch on my PURSUIT 2670 Denali Boat raises but doesn't activate the bilge pump?
- J
  Jose OsbornSep 7, 2025
  If the automatic float switch on the bilge pump of your PURSUIT Boat raises but does not activate the pump, there may be an air lock in the system. Try running the boat above 15 m.p.h. to force the air lock past the pump and prime the system. If that doesn't work, the pump may be defective and needs replacement.

Why is the engine on my PURSUIT 2670 Denali losing RPMs even when the boat is not overloaded?
- G
  gshawSep 12, 2025
  If the engine of your PURSUIT Boat is losing RPM, and the boat isn't overloaded with a clean hull and running gear, the fuel injection system on the engine may be malfunctioning, requiring repair.
