The Drive System will fit a large number of vessels, but please
note the following important information on operation,
installation and maintenance of the drive system.
In the event of uncontrolled automatic steering or other
emergency situations, automatic return to MANUAL steering
is provided by switching the autopilot to STBY, or by using
the Manual Override procedure.
It is strongly advised that the helmsman be formally
familiarized with this manual override procedure.
Manual Override Procedure
The helmsman can overcome the steering action of the drive
unit by exerting force on the steering wheel in the opposite
direction to the drive. With this action the drive unit thrust
limit will 'slip' allowing the helmsman to take control.
The Cable end that attaches to the steering quadrant or Tiller
arm has a quick release pin that can be used to disengage the
cable from the main steering system therefore releasing the
Autopilot drive (see page 5).
It is very important that the helmsman is formally familiarized
with the location of this during any passage.
