STEERING SYSTEM
Your yacht is equipped with hydraulic steering. The rotation of the
steering wheel results in an unbalanced hydraulic (oil) pressure in the
two lines going from the helm to the rudder cylinder. The pressure
differential is converted to linear motion by the hydraulic steering
cylinder, which is mechanically linked to the rudder tiller arms. Both
rudder tiller arms are rigidly connected by a tie bar so that both
rudders respond equally to the helm. In an emergency, steering can
be controlled by using the throttle controls and operating one engine
at a time.
Steering Wheel
The steering wheel uses the assistance of power steering to permit
turning of the steering wheel with minimum effort. It is important that
you know how your yacht operates and are aware of its limitations.
