If a fault occurs that prevents the electrical rudder
actuator from being operated with the steering wheel,
the electrical rudder actuator for straight forward
operation can be aligned manually using the
description in this chapter.
If steering is out of order, align the rudder actuator and
use control levers to steer the boat.
The tools needed during this operation are supplied in
a special tool box together with the boat.
WARNING!
Working with or approaching a running engine is a
safety risk. Watch out for rotating components and hot
surfaces.
The following procedure can be carried out with the
engines running, even though it is not recommended.
Wear hearing protection when in the engine room as
there is a risk of harmful sound levels.
