  • Page 43: Helm Control Systems

    Chapter 4: HELM CONTROL SYSTEMS 4.1 General The helm controls consist of three systems: the engine throttle and shift control, the steering system and the trim tab control switches. These systems provide the operator with the ability to control the direction and attitude of the boat from the helm station.

  • Page 44: Neutral Safety Switch

    Control Systems The controls have a single lever for the engine that operates as a gearshift and a throttle. Gen- eral operation will include a position for neutral (straight up and down or slightly aft of vertical), a forward position (the 1st detent forward of neu- tral) and a reverse position (the 1st detent aft of neutral).

  • Page 45: Engine Power Tilt & Trim

    Control Systems Repeat this test with the shift lever in reverse and the engine throttle at idle. Again, the starter should not engage. If the starter engages with the shift control in any position other than the neutral position, then the neutral safety switch is not functioning properly and you should contact your dealer and have the neutral safety switch repaired before using your boat.

  • Page 46: Engine Stop Switch

    Control Systems 4.5 Engine Stop Switch Your boat is equipped with an engine stop switch and lanyard. When the lanyard is pulled it will engage the switch and shut off the engine. We strongly recommend that the lanyard be attached to the driver whenever the engine is running.

  • Page 47: Steering System

    Control Systems 4.7 Steering System Hydraulic Steering System The standard steering system is hydraulic and made of two main components: the helm as- sembly and the hydraulic cylinder. The helm unit acts as both a fluid reservoir and pump. Turning of the helm or steering wheel pumps the fluid in the hydraulic hoses and activates the hydraulic cylinder causing the motor to turn.

  • Page 48: Trim Tabs

    Control Systems tronic and there are no mechanical connections between the steering wheel and the engine. For safety and improved tight quarter maneuver- ing, the controlling software on most systems senses engine speed and adjusts maximum steer- ing angle and steering wheel resistance to preset limits as the engine speed increases or decreases.

If they are not, press and hold the control in the bow up position for ten (10) seconds to fully retract the tabs.

  • Page 50: Control Systems

    Control Systems The fluid level for power assist hydraulic steering should be maintained at no less than 1/2” below the bottom of the fill plug hole on the hydraulic power assist pump reservoir located in the bilge. Only use power steering fluid recommended by the steering system manufacturer when adding fluid.
