HYDRAULIC STEERING
The Konsort Duo has
a
transom
hung
rudder and
tiller. lt
also
features
a
Teleflex hydraulic steering system
(Fig.
6).
The helm wheel operates a
hydraulic
pump
which
actuates
a
hull mounted double acting
cylinder,
connected
to
the
rudder
between
the hanging
straps.
A
locking valve
allows
the
system
to
be
'locked'
in
any
position.
The
system should be checked
after
the
first 10 hours
of
use, and
periodically
throughout
the
season,
to
make sure
all
joints
are
free
from
leaks and the
oil
level is
correct.
Use
with Autopilot
Any
autopilot designed for
hydraulic
steering
systems
may
be used,
providing
it
is compatible
with
the
hydraulic fluid
specified
for
the
Teleflex
system.
lt is recommended that
shut
off
valves are fitted
to
simplify
trouble shooting
and
servicing.
