5.5 EMERGENCY SYSTEMS IN CASE OF STEERING GEAR FAILURE
On a twin-engined vessel the emergency tiller system works on the difference in drive between
the port and starboard engines (difference in throttle and/or forward/aft). The direction works
only when the engines are running.
INSTRUCTIONS IN THE EVENT OF STEERING GEAR FAILURE
In the event of damage to the helm preventing the boat from being steered with the wheel, it is
possible to align the bases manually to put them in line with the boat. Then steer the boat using
the control lever.
Procedure for aligning the motor bases
manually:
Picture 1:
Remove the screw (Ref 1). Disconnect the
cable (Ref 2).
Picture 2:
Connect the connector (Ref 3). Put the
handle arm in position (Ref 4).
Picture 3:
Press the button (Ref 5) and keep it
pressed whilst turning the handle arm
(Ref 6) until it comes to a stop. Do not
force it once it has reached the stop.
Picture 4:
Turn the handle arm about 75 turns: The
base is now aligned with the boat's axis.
Picture 5:
Remove the handle arm. Disconnect the
connector (Ref 8). Put back ref 9 in place.
Picture 6:
Reconnect the cable (Ref 10).
Emergency steering using the engine
control lever (Once the bases have been
aligned according to the above
procedure).
- Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for detailed use of the system.
