2. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
3. Remove the drive top cover.
4. Locate the forward gear solenoid on the port side of
the propulsion pod. The forward solenoid is located just
behind the drive lubricant reservoir. Also, it is tagged so
do not end up with the reverse gear.
5. With a 3mm hex wrench turn the solenoid screw locat-
ed in the center of the top of the forward gear solenoid
clockwise until movement stops.
6. The drive is now manually engaged in forward gear and
will not respond to the helm remote controls.
7. Make sure the area around the affected drive propellers
is clear since the propellers will be turning in forward gear
when the engine starts.
8. Before starting the engine put the remote control in
neutral position before turning the key switch.
9. Remember that the drive is in forward gear and to stop
forward thrust you must turn off the key switch.
10. Upon reaching port call for service assistance.
Steering and Trim-Manual Override
The trim and steering systems use a hydraulic manifold
containing control valves. If a malfunction occurs in the
manifold for the trim and steering system, a code will
show on the VesselView display. The steering actuator,
trim cylinder, or both may not respond to the helm con-
trols which could result in the loss of normal trim and
steering.
In an emergency, if a trim or steering control valve is
stuck, it may be possible to clear the steering fault code by
manually overriding the system. An informational decal
describing the location of specifi c control valves can be
found on the steering manifold. Refer to the procedure
for a stuck steering or trim control valve.
Engine & Controls
Stuck Steering Control Valve Procedure
1. Determine which drive is not responding to steering
controls.
2. Shut the engine down and turn the key switch off. Wait
at least 30 seconds.
3. Restart the engine. Determine that the steering fault is
cleared.
4. If the steering fault did not correct itself, repeat the
start/stop up to 3 times.
5. If steering fault continues to exist after the above pro-
cedure, shift the transmission into neutral, shut down
the engine, turn the key switch off, and alternately push
the port and starboard steering manual-override buttons
to release the spool. Refer to the manifold bracket decal
shown below.
6. Restart the engine. At the helm, steer the drive to the
port and starboard to confi rm the fault has cleared. If
the Steering Spool Stuck fault remains, then shut down
the engine and turn the key switch off on the unrespon-
sive drive. Use the other engine and drive. Refer to Port
Engine Only Operation, if the starboard drive is shut
down.Note that vessel speed and maneuverability will be
reduced.
