Steering with control levers
NOTE! Engine speed is limited to 1500 rpm .
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 manoeuvring.
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 starbord control lever should
be put in the position for reverse.
Steering the boat
Put the control levers in forward. Use a suitable en-
gine speed for manoeuvring.
The direction of the steering is determined by the use
of the control levers. If the boat is to move to port,
reduce speed on port engine. For immediate reaction,
move the port control lever in reverse and than back
again to forward.
Auto pilot (Option)
Activation
The activation of the autopilot, along with other user
information, is described in the autopilot suppliers
documentation.
NOTE! The system can refuse activation if the steer-
ing wheel is turned at the same time as an attempt is
made to activate the autopilot.
The autopilot does not work when traveling back-
wards.
The steering wheel is braked while the autopilot is in
control (AUTO position)
Disconnection
The autopilot is disconnected with steering wheel
movements greater than 2°, with change of helm, or
if a serious fault occurs.
NOTE! If the autopilot is activated from a passive
helm, then disconnection via steering wheel move-
ment is not possible from that helm.
Running aground
IMPORTANT! After a minor impact or running
aground always check that the drive-unit or
propeller are not damaged or if there are vibra-
tions from the drive-unit. If this is the case then
the boat (if possible) should be run to harbor at
reduced speed and taken out of the water and
be inspected at an authorized Volvo Penta work-
shop.
