STEERING SYSTEM

The steering system is a pull/pull system consisting of a steering wheel which activates
V
two cables connected to the starboard rudder which is joined to the rudder head.
V The port rudder is linked to the starboard rudder via a transverse link tiller.
Periodic check to be performed: Check the slack of the different parts (rudder head,
V
rudder, crossbar, tension of the steering cables) and grease balls joints if necessary.
V Setting of the tension of the steering cables is done through the ¼ turn hatch in the
lower part of the helm station.
An annual check of the junction between turnbuckles and steering chain (on one end)
V
and between turnbuckles and pull/pull cables (on the other end) is to be carried out.
The emergency tiller is secured at the top of the port OR starboard rudder head. It is only
designed for sailing at reduced speed in the event of a damaged helm.
For more information, please refer to the drawing DDF_ACC_057_007
Automatic pilot GARMIN (optional): The boat can be fitted with an automatic pilot
GARMIN. The pilot fuse is located in the management box in the port engine compart-
ment. The fuse of the control screen at the chart table is located under the chart table
and the fuse of the control screen of the helm station is located under the saloon bench.
WARNING
The emergency tiller is stored in a locker and must be easy accessible in all
conditions.
