Emergency steering with twin
control levers
If a fault occurs which prevents all propulsion units from
being operated with the steering wheel, align all the
propulsion units and use the steering method
described below to reach nearest habor.
If one or several propulsion units can be operated by
the steering wheel, the steering method described
below is not needed.
Rotate the boat
Put one control lever in the position for forward and put
the other control lever in the position for reverse. Use a
suitable engine speed for maneuvering.
The direction of rotation is determined by the lever
which is put in the position for reverse. If the boat is to
move to starboard, the starboard control lever should
be put in the position for reverse.
Steering the boat
Put the control levers in forward. Use a suitable engine
speed for maneuvering.
The direction of the steering is determined by the use
of the control levers. If the boat is to turn to starboard,
reduce speed on starboard engine. The greater the
difference in speed between the control levers the
more the boat turns. To make a sharp turn, move one of
the control lever to reverse for a moment.
Emergency Alignment, Electrical
Rudder Actuator
If a fault occurs that prevents the electrical rudder
actuator from being operated with the steering wheel,
the electrical rudder actuator for straight forward
operation can be aligned manually using a special tool.
The tool is supplied in a special tool box together with
the boat.
If steering is out of order, align the rudder actuator and
use control levers to steer the boat.
WARNING!
Working with or approaching a running engine is a
safety risk. Watch out for rotating components and hot
surfaces.
NOTICE! For safety reasons, the alignment procedure
must be carried out with the gear disengaged. The
vessel must not make speed through water.
