3.8 SmartCylinders

On outboard boats these are always located just below the engine
cowling and are attached to the engine tiller arm. There will be one
SmartCylinder for each engine on twin-engine boats. Most triple- and
quad-engine boats use tie-bars to steer a pair of engines with a
single SmartCylinder.

3.9 Steering Service Valves

These are located in the hydraulic
lines that go from the steering
pumps to the SmartCylinders.
There is one for each steering
cylinder.
The steering service valves
permit the bypass of the EPS
system and allow the engines to
be manually positioned. They
should only be used in the event
of an EPS system failure.
Instructions on how to proceed
will be supplied on the CANtrak
display or in Section 10.2.
