Exterior Equipment
The rear of the helm is hinged at the bottom and
opens to provide access to service control and
steering system components. A heavy duty cable
holds the helm in the open position and prevents
it from opening too far. Four bolts secure the helm
to the console in the closed position.
To open the helm station, make sure the engines
are not running and hold the helm in the closed
position while another person removes the bolts
that secure the helm inside the head compart-
ment. The bolts are located behind the mirror/
access door in the rear head compartment bulk-
head. After the bolts are removed, carefully lower
the helm to the full open position.
Notice:
The helm is heavy and could open unexpect-
edly when the last bolt is removed. This
could break the retainer strap or damage
the helm. Make sure you have someone hold
the helm closed while the bolts are removed.
Close the helm by pushing it to the closed posi-
tion while another person installs and tightens
the bolts. Always make sure that helm is properly
closed and secured with all four bolts before op-
erating the boat.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE HELM STATION BOLTS
ARE PROPERLY SECURED BEFORE OPERATING OR
TRANSPORTING YOUR BOAT. IF THE HELM STATION IS NOT
PROPERLY SECURED, IT COULD OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY AND
DAMAGE THE BOAT OR CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE HELM BE
OPENED WHEN THE ENGINES ARE RUNNING. IN SOME
SITUATIONS IT IS POSSIBLE TO ACCIDENTALLY ENGAGE
THE ENGINE SHIFT CONTROLS INTO GEAR AND ADVANCE
THE THROTTLES AS THE HELM IS OPENING. THIS COULD
RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL, DAMAGE TO THE BOAT AND
INJURY TO PASSENGERS.
