Emergency steering with control
levers
If a fault occurs that prevents the Electrical Rudder
Actuator from being operated with the steering wheel,
align the Electrical Rudder Actuator for straight forward
operation and use the steering method described
below to reach the nearest harbor.
Rotate the boat
Put one control lever in the position for forward and put
the other control lever in the position for reverse. Use
a suitable engine speed for maneuvering.
The direction of rotation is determined by the lever
which is put in the position for reverse. If the boat is to
move to starboard, the starboard control lever should
be put in the position for reverse.
Steering the boat
Put the control levers in forward. Use a suitable engine
speed for maneuvering.
The direction of the steering is determined by the use
of the control levers. If the boat is to turn to starboard,
reduce speed on starboard engine. The greater the
difference in speed between the control levers the
more the boat turns. To make a sharp turn, move one
of the control lever to reverse for a moment.
