Why is the hydraulic steering on my PURSUIT Boat slow and erratic?

  Daryl MillerAug 1, 2025
  The hydraulic steering on your PURSUIT Boat might be slow and erratic due to several reasons. The steering system may be low on fluid or have air in it; in this case, fill and bleed the system. Another cause could be a binding component within the steering system, which requires checking, adjustment, or repair. Finally, the engine steering cylinder might be binding; greasing the spindle could resolve this.

  If your PURSUIT Boat feels sluggish and has lost speed and RPM, consider the following: The hull and running gear may need cleaning to remove marine growth. Weeds or line might be wrapped around the propeller, so clean the propeller. The boat could be overloaded, so reduce the load. Check for excessive water in the bilge and pump it out, correcting the problem. Finally, the throttle adjustments may have changed, preventing the engine from getting full throttle, so adjust the throttle cable.

How to fix an engine that won't start in neutral on my PURSUIT SC 365i Boat?

  evansvirginiaAug 23, 2025
  If the engine on your PURSUIT Boat won't start with the shift control lever in neutral, it could be due to a few reasons. The control cable might be out of adjustment, not activating the neutral safety cut out switch. Try moving the shift lever slightly, as the shift control lever might not be in the neutral detent. Also, check for a loose wire on the neutral safety switch on the transmission and repair any loose connections.
