Should a fault occur, it will be communicated to the user though the
CANtrak display. Section 10.1 defines the three types of hazards you
may experience with the system and how the system will handle each.
When a serious fault occurs, consider your options. While the system
has many features to allow the boat to return to port in a slow and
safe manner, local conditions or operator skills may dictate that
calling for assistance is the prudent thing to do.

Hazard Definitions

10.1.1 Danger

A danger fault is a critical system fault which will result in limited or
no steering and/or shift and throttle performance and requires
immediate action.
Depending on the nature of the fault a variety of conditions might
occur all designed to provide the safest situation for returning to
port. Some examples are:
• Steering may be restricted to one engine.
• The engines may need to be positioned manually and the boat
steered using the shift and throttle.
• The shift and throttle may require manual override with normal
steering.
• The joystick may become inactive.
The system will provide the safest alternative to normal operation.
In the event of a danger fault, the CANtrak buzzer will sound
continuously (until muted) and the CANtrak display will advise the
operator on how to proceed. See Section 10.2.1 for danger fault
handling specifics.
If the danger fault lies in the EST system, both indicator lights on the
control head will flash red quickly (5 times per second).
If the danger fault lies in the Joystick system, the joystick Take
Command button light will flash red quickly (5 times per second).
