9 - STEERING SYSTEMS 280
9.1 STEERING SYSTEM
The electro-hydraulic steering system contributes to a good maneuverability
of the yacht. When the steering wheel in the helm station is turned, a hydrau-
lic pump is operated to activate the piston located in the engine room and
connected directly to the rudders, thus maneuvering the yacht.
The transfer of the steering control to a secondary control station takes
place with the following procedure: require the transfer from the station in
operation which will remain active until the consent is given from the receiv-
ing station.
The mutual transfer between the different stations can only take place in the
absence of propulsion (engines in neutral position).
The steering of a rudder is always guaranteed in case of main electronic
system failure by a backup panel.
A rudder that cannot be electrically operated can always be released with
the power pack by-pass and will be free to move.

For further information on the use and maintenance of the steering sys-
