EXTERIOR EQUIPMENT AND
FEATURES
1 . 1 . HELM AREA
1 . 1 . 1 . Steering
On boat centerline, to port of the companionway, into the cabin,
is the helm of your 3400 Express Fisherman (see
Figure 1-1). In the center is the steering wheel which is con-
nected to a hydraulic pump behind the console. This hydraulic
pump operates a hydraulic cylinder at the stern of your boat and
controls rudders on the port and starboard sides.
1 . 1 . 2 . Engine Controls
The engine clutch and throttle controls are to each side of the
steering wheel, clutches to port, throttles to starboard. The
clutch handles (port handle for port engine, starboard handle for
starboard engine) are vertical when the engine transmissions are
in neutral. The engines are shifted into forward by pushing the
handles forward from vertical and are shifted into reverse by
pulling the handles aft from vertical. When shifting from forward
to reverse, or vice versa, you should pause momentarily at
neutral. The throttle handles are all the way aft when the engines
are at idle and all the way forward at wide, open throttle.
