Simrad DD15 Direct Drive

4 MAINTENANCE
The direct drive is “greased for life”, so it should not be opened.
No maintenance is required except for periodic checks of all
bolted connections. As the rudder system, the steering system
and the autopilot drive are exposed to heavy vibrations (mainly
by cruising on motor), all bolted connections should be yearly
checked. The only parts that could wear in time are the ball
joints in the draglink. These are easily exchangeable and
available from Simrad.
