V
The steering system is a hydraulic system. Composed with a steering wheel which
thanks to the starboard actuator leads a crossbar connecting the both stock arm of
the rudder.
V
Periodic check to be performed: Check the slack of the different parts (rudder head,
rudder, crossbar) and grease balls joints if necessary.
For using the tiller, release the hydraulic circuit’s actuator thanks to the “by-pass” put
in ON position. The emergency tiller is secured at the top of the port OR starboard
rudder head.
It is only designed for sailing at reduced speed in the event of damaged helm.
Automatic pilot GARMIN (optional): The boat can be fitted with an automatic pilot
GARMIN. The pilot fuse is located in the management box in the starboard engine
compartment. The fuse of the control screen at the chart table is located under the
saloon bench and the fuse of the control screen of the helm station is located in the aft
cupboard of the starboard companionway.
STEERING SYSTEM
The emergency tiller is stored in a locker and must be easy accessible in
all conditions.
WARNING
For more information, please refer to the drawing DDF_ACC_054_008
The on-board power is produced by the engine alternators (115Ah) and stored by 12V
DC batteries.
The batteries are separated into 2 separate packs:
V
Starboard engine/service battery pack = 4 x 150 Ah + 1 x 150 Ah (optional)
V
Port engine battery pack = 1 x 50 Ah
The port engine battery powers:
V
The port engine only.
The starboard engine battery pack powers:
V
The starboard engine.
V
All the 12V functions on the electrical panel.
The 3 fuses panels are positioned as follows:
V
1 under the saloon bench
V
1 in the aft cupboard of the port companionway
V
1 in the aft cupboard of the starboard companionway
The content of each box is detailed on the lid.
ELECTRICITY
For more information, please refer to the drawing DDF_ELC_054_733
12V DC engines network
Battery coupling :
V
The coupling between the service battery pack and the engine battery is
triggered when the voltage on one of the packs exceeds 13,2V.
V
The coupling is maintained until the pack voltage falls below 12,8V.
V
When the voltage is below 12,8V, the coupling is interrupted and the engine
battery is then isolated from the starboard service battery pack
V
The BACKUP/START-UP circuit breaker (for right) permits the coupling of the
battery packs. If one of the engines doesn’t start, switch on the circuit breaker.
When the engine is running, switch off directly the circuit breaker.
WARNING
Backup/start-up circuit breaker
