Steering System
It is important that you get the “feel” of your Axis boat’s steering system. Turn the wheel
from full left to full right, and make sure the rudder is turning accordingly. The system
should operate freely and smoothly. See Axis Exclusive Adjustable Rudder System in
Chapter 3 for rudder adjustment.
Notice: It is normal for your Axis steering to pull slightly to the right
under normal driving conditions.
Emergency Engine Stop Switch
The emergency stop switch attaches to the operator of the
boat and shuts down the engine if the operator is accidentally
forced away from the helm.
The switch consists of an ON/OFF switch and a switch
clip/lanyard clip, which is connected between the stop clip and
the operator. Should the operator move away from the controls,
the clip pulls free, flipping the switch to the OFF position and
stopping the engine. If the engine must be shut down quickly, a
pull on the lanyard cord to release the clip from the switch will
stop the engine.
To reset the switch after activation, reinstall the lanyard clip
and flip switch to the UP position.
Motorbox Cover
The fiberglass motorbox reduces engine noise and provides
protection for the passengers on board. To open, grasp the
pull strap and lift open. The motor box is equipped with
either one or two gas-filled shock absorbers (depending on
model) to provide support for the compartment when
opened.
Running the engine with the
motor box open exposes rotating
machinery which can cause injury
to occupants of the boat.
