You are now able to manually steer your boat. Proceed
to the closest location for standard steering system
review and repairs.
Because the backup steering system can also be
lost, an operator must be able to cruise without
a rudder or otherwise be prepared to assemble a
makeshift rudder.

arises where the rudder assembly is not functioning
properly and affecting your steering, your boat comes
equipped with an emergency tiller to provide the required
maneuverability.

If your standard steering is experiencing a problem,
inspect the rudder’s upper bearing, lower bearing and
drag links for damage or obstruction. If the situation
can not be remedied, proceed with the following steps to
assemble the emergency tiller for low-speed steering:
Idle the boat
Remove the emergency tiller handle from its storage
location within the port gull-wing seat hatch (see Fig.
6.9)
Locate and open the access cover for the rudder
shaft located in the steering assembly cover (often
referred to as the quad cover)
Insert the notched end of the tiller handle on top of
tiller base pin
