10.2.2 Limp Home
When a Danger fault results in steering performance being restricted
or suspended, the CANtrak may provide instructions on how to enter
Limp Home mode.
Limp home will provide instructions for the user to manually move the
engine(s), and/or control the shift and throttle, and allow the user to
“limp home” at a reduced performance.
The Limp Home modes vary depending on the nature of the fault.
Limp Home Mode 1
This mode occurs when the system can no longer provide steering to
ANY of the engines. The CANtrak will instruct the operator to manually
center the engines using the service valves, then proceed home
immediately using the shift and throttle controls to steer the vessel.
LIMP HOME MODE IS AN OVERRIDE SYSTEM. IT MAY SEVERELY
LIMIT YOUR BOAT CONTROL. IT SHOULD ONLY BE USED IN AN
EMERGENCY IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO CALL FOR ASSISTANCE.
PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION. ALWAYS WEAR PFDS AND
LANYARD. REFER TO THE NOTICE IN SECTION 10.0.
Figure 10-2. Limp home instructions, all steering disabled.
