Helm Selection

To prevent steering system issues, it is important to select the correct helm.
From the Helm Selection Chart, find the engine application and the desired number of turns lock to lock
for the helm.
When selecting turns lock to lock:
•
a greater number of turns results in less steering effort and slower steering rate
•
a lesser number of turns results in greater steering effort and quicker steering rate
Then read across the chart to find the helm displacement that matches the desired number of turns.

Next, use the Recommended Helm Charts on p. 25 to find a recommended helm that most closely
matches the displacement listed in the Helm Selection Chart.
ALWAYS confirm the type of helm installed in the boat.
