The Batteries (fig. 17—page 15 & fig. 26)
2 batteries are provided which can be connected in parallel with the supplied “Y” connector.
(see also fig 17– page 15)
One battery will power 3 to 5 hours sailing depending on load and usage.
Never allow the batteries to go dead flat. Charge batteries one at a time, leave them overnight on the
trickle charger supplied. (fig 27)
Spray the battery plugs with corrosion guard.
The Helm Winch (fig 28)
The helm winch has limit switches which limit the travel of the
tillers.
There is a clutch which disengages the steering line drum from
the servo motor allowing for manual steering. To engage the
servo assist steering it is easiest to engage the clutch by push-
ing the manual joystick hard over to one side and run the winch
hard over the same way, then screw in the drum to engage the
clutch.
To align the steering see maintenance and troubleshooting. on
