C 230

IF THE BOAT IS EQUIPPED WITH AN EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH, WEAR THE LANYARD

AT ALL TIMES WHEN OPERATING THE BOAT BUT USE IT TO STOP ONLY IN AN EMER-

GENCY. DO NOT USE IT TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE DURING NORMAL OPERATION.

Refer to the engine owner's manual for more information on the engine stop switch.

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 motor 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 steering manufacturer owner’s manual for specific information on the

steering system.

SOME AUTOPILOTS HAVE ENGINE POSITION SENSORS THAT ARE MOUNTED TO THE HY-

DRAULIC STEERING CYLINDER. WITH THESE AUTOPILOTS, THE ENGINE POSITION SEN-

SOR 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 LOCATION 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.

TILT HELM

A tilt helm may be installed. To tilt the wheel, depress the lever located in the base of the helm. Make sure

it locks into position.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE HELM WHEEL POSITION WHILE UNDERWAY.

2.7 Trim Tabs

The trim tabs are recessed into the hull on the transom. Switches are used to control the trim tabs. The switches

are labeled and control bow up and down movements. It also controls starboard and port up and down

movements. Bow up and bow down will control the hull planing attitude, while port and starboard up and

down provide control for the hull trim side to side.

Before leaving the dock, make sure that the tabs are in the full “UP” position by holding the control in the bow

"UP" position for ten (10) seconds.

Always establish the intended heading and cruise speed before attempting to adjust the hull attitude with the

trim tabs. After stabilizing speed and direction, move the trim tabs to achieve a level side to side running

attitude being careful not to over trim.
