PostSun Jan 01, 2023 7:57 pm 2002 Pursuit 3000 Express with water in the cabin
5280 As BNC said above. I have placed a bilge plug in the tube between the engine room and cabin. I took out all the lower rubber at the base of the windshield frame, and removed all the screws one at a time and put them back bedded in silicone. Leak stopped. This is exactly what I did and fixed is...

Would you guys know what size plug to use to close up the forward bilge area?

It was just a standard expanding bilge pug

I do not know what stainless. But I changed seals a couple years ago. They still leaked so the next season I lowered one rudder about 1/2” and the other one 1/4”. They one I lowered close to a 1/2” didn’t leak anymore. The other one slowed but still leaked. I have to pull them back out with trans pr...

5294 Thanks Woodworker2001 Woodworker2001 , The rubber trim is pretty shrunken up and I was going to try to get a new set if I could find it. If you do have the part number that would be great! I would love to order it now in the offseason! Thanks for the help! Rich https://pompanette.com/store/rep...

PostSat May 27, 2023 3:29 pm 2000 Helm Lift Not Working
I had this problem on a 3000 express. Has 2 lifters and one worked but the other only worked going down. Ended up sending a request for help to pursuit. They quickly sent a picture of the relay location on the right side of the hull near the lifter and a schematic. Crazy system. There were 4 relays ...

I just replaced mine today on my 2460 Denali. Try Associated Spring/ Raymond in Maumee, Ohio. They were able to cross the part number and were fairly inexpensive.

PostSun Feb 13, 2022 6:53 pm 2470WA rear bench bolster attachment
If anyone is interested, and have the rear bench seat over the fish locker, this is how that rear bolster is removed. Using a wooden wedge, you can start on the port end and gently tap the wedge behind the bolster till it starts to pull out. You then get a better view of where the nylon push pins ar...

PostFri Jul 10, 2015 6:38 pm Re: 2002 2870 Gas Tanks Leaking
Wow!!! That is unsettling because your boat is not very old (2002 is not an older boat in my book). 1. How did you know it was leaking? 2. How exactly did you get the floor up so you could remove the tanks? 3. What did you do for a replacement and did you figure out what caused the hole/leak? Thank ...

Have you opened the grey T.A.B.S box under the stairs? Checked the solenoids and connections in there?

one of the worst thing about boat is battery access. but if you remove all the batteries it is possible to replace third one. the boat has a battery slide tray switch which makes a noise but it only moves an inch. but the real problem now is that i think the reservoir for the trim tabs after many ye...

PostFri Jul 08, 2022 6:58 am Merc 350 Horizon Fuel Pumps
I have not had one go bad. I did have some injectors go bad. I know that there is nothing fun about changing the port fuel pump as it is on the outside of the engine. Best to get yourself midget gymnast with 7’ arms. Did you prime the water separating filter with fuel when you replaced it. Mine does...

Finished the project yesterday. went down and cleaned it up today. I am happy with the results. I filled the void where the wood was rotted with G/flex. I thickened the epoxy with 404. Worked like a charm. I know I mentioned using a polyester resin, but like most anything i do, things change as the ...

Good day All, For those who have the worthless little sink in your pursuit galley, there is a fix. I finally got feed-up with not being able to wash a plate in the little oval fiberglass sink and replaced it with a Scandvik model 10993 SS sink. I was able to cut out the old one and lay in the replac...

PostThu Dec 14, 2023 10:33 am Cutlass Bearings
I replaced mine about 5 years ago, maybe more. I believe the OD is 2 inches but you should verify that. I am looking for my records on that but I have sold that boat.

PostThu Dec 14, 2023 9:37 pm Cutlass Bearings
I measure mine at 2" OD.

1-1/2" Shaft.

The strut is 6-3/16 long, but the bearing is set back and likely 6" long.

There's many variants of these switches, I think this is the one your looking for, stay away from the cheap Chinese versions of these switches, they will fail.
