15.1 GENERAL POINTS
- The steering operates by steering cables.
- The steering system is an important safety feature. For this reason, an annual inspection of the whole system must be carried out by a professional engineer.
- Owners are expected to operate the boat in a reasonable manner, with the direction of the helm (in degrees/seconds) set according to the actual speed of the boat.
- Regularly check the tension of the steering cables and the tightness of the steering components. If needed, adjust the tension of the steering cables. Don't tighten the steering
cables excessively. When properly adjusted the steering should work smoothly, with no play at all and no stiffness in the tiller or wheel (consult your dealer).
- Do not grease the steering cables or the pulleys.
- Maintain the nylon, ertalon or teflon bushes with only a suitable lubricant.
- Each ring is a wearing part: make sure you change them regularly (Please contact your dealer).
- The steering bearings do not require any special maintenance.
- It is only recommended that you regularly rinse the bearings of the steering system with fresh water when taking the boat out of the water.
Note: Greasing the steering bearings creates a risk of them seizing with dust and no longer working properly.
Label indicating the date on which the steering cable should be changed
- The textile lines on the boat have a lifetime of
5 years. Beyond 5 years (the expiry date is sewn
on the textile lines) the textile lines must be
changed.
