4.3.4.Back-up system
The emergency tiller is designed for sailing at reduced speed only in the event of a wheel failure.
The emergency tiller is stored in the starboard engine compartment, above the gangway and on the ventilation boxes.
The tiller must remain easily accessible at all times.
To deploy the emergency tiller:
- Use a winch handle to unscrew one of the emergency tiller covers found on one of the aft skirts.
- Fit the emergency tiller into the rudder shaft, making sure that it is pushed down properly into the box.
- Insert the attachment screw through the shaft and tighten the nut (access via the engine hold).
- Place the ram valve in the engine hold on the relevant side in the by-pass position.
This isolates the rudder from the helm system.
