2470 WALKAROUND

THE ENGINE HOSES AND CABLES OR THE TRANSOM GEL COAT CAN BE DAM-

AGED BY TILTING THE ENGINES TO THE FULL UP POSITION WITH THE EN-

GINES TURNED TO THE WRONG POSITION. ALL TWIN ENGINE AND MOST

SINGLE ENGINE BOATS REQUIRE THE STEERING WHEEL TO BE TURNED COM-

PLETELY TO STARBOARD BEFORE TILTING THE ENGINES TO THE FULL UP

POSITION. YOU SHOULD MONITOR THE ENGINES AS THEY TILT TO DETER-

MINE BEST FULL TILT ENGINE POSITION FOR YOUR BOAT.

SOME AUTOPILOTS HAVE ENGINE POSITION SENSORS THAT ARE MOUNTED

TO THE HYDRAULIC STEERING CYLINDER. WITH THESE AUTOPILOTS, THE

ENGINE POSITION SENSOR BRACKET COULD HIT THE TRANSOM WHEN THE

ENGINES ARE TILTED TO THE FULL UP POSITION AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO

THE ENGINE RIGGING, THE AUTOPILOT OR THE TRANSOM. IF YOU HAVE AN

AUTOPILOT INSTALLED ON YOUR BOAT, YOU SHOULD MONITOR THE LOCA-

TION OF THE ENGINE CABLES AND AUTOPILOT BRACKETS AS THE ENGINES

ARE TILTED TO DETERMINE THE BEST ENGINE POSITION AND MAXIMUM EN-

GINE TILT FOR YOUR APPLICATION.

2.6 Steering System

The steering system is hydraulic and made of two main components: the helm assembly and the

hydraulic cylinder. The helm unit acts as both a fluid reservoir and pump. Turning of the helm,

or steering wheel, pumps the fluid in the hydraulic hoses and activates the hydraulic cylinder

causing the motors to turn. A slight clicking sound may be heard as the wheel is turned. This sound

is the opening and closing of valves in the helm unit and is normal. Refer to the manufacturer

owner’s manual for specific information on the steering system.
