ENGINE STEERING SYSTEM
Your outboard boat features as standard equipment an electronic
helm “power steering” system. We will briefl y describe the system
and display various parts and their function. Overall this system lends
itself to single and dual outboard installations well with an effortless
“power steering” feel. In addition, this system features light friction at
low speed and higher friction at higher speed to provide a higher degree
of maneuverability. Furthermore, it can be programmed for toe-in
and toe-out settings which provide optimum vessel performance.
Also, this system eliminates the need for a tie bar which normally is
used in twin outboard installations.
The hardware at both the helm and engine must be checked regularly
for tightness, lubrication, and leaks. Check the steering system for full
steering to port and starboard before disembarking.
The main system components are the electronic helm, electrical
connection board, hydraulic steering pump and “smart cylinder”.
Note the adjacent drawing which shows normal system components.
