front of the unit. If the unit is operating correctly both audible and visual warning indicators will be
activated.
End of Life Signal
Your CO detector is equipped with an End Of Life (EOL) signal indicating the sensor used in the unit
has reached the end of its service life and must be replaced. The detector contains an electro-
chemical sensor that will last approximately 7 years. Refer to your unit's operation manual for EOL
signal indication and further information and instructions.
The EOL signal can be deactivated so that it does not alarm. DEACTIVATING THE CO ALARM IS
PERMANENT. REACTIVATING IS NOT POSSIBLE. DO NOT DEACTIVATE UNLESS YOU HAVE A
REPLACEMENT ALARM AVAILABLE TO INSTALL!

6. Steering

Your boat comes equipped with a hydraulic steering system. The basic system for a single engine boat
contains a steering wheel, a hydraulic helm pump, a hydraulic steering cylinder, and hydraulic hoses.
Operation
When turning the steering wheel, the helm pump forces hydraulic fluid through hoses to and from the
steering cylinder which is connected to the tiller arm on the engine. The cylinder moves the tiller arm
to either port or starboard, depending upon the direction the steering wheel is turned.
Filling and Maintenance
A hydraulic steering system rarely needs to be refilled after the system is bled. However, if you ever
need to add fluid to the system, refer to the steering manufacturer's manual for complete
instructions. The fill point is located on the helm itself, in front of the steering wheel.
Refer to the steering manufacturer's manual in owner's manual packet for complete instructions and
warranty information.
Fumes for the engine(s), generator, LPG stoves, and other
equipment that burns fuel contain Carbon Monoxide.
Carbon Monoxide can kill you. Open all doors, hatches,
curtains, and windows to allow fresh air to circulate.
Never ignore an alarm.
To reduce the risk of Carbon Monoxide poisoning, test the
monitor operation when not in use for 10 days or more.
