Boat Systems

Going Astern

The steering system has less effect while backing up

the boat.

Stern moves to starboard when the steering wheel is

turned 

clockwise

.

Stern moves to port when the steering wheel is turned

counter-clockwise

.

The stern can be made to run straight in reverse by

determining the proper rudder angle.  Experiment with

engine speed and rudder angle to determine this posi-

tion.

Return the steering wheel to the 

CENTERED

 position

when you turn the engines 

OFF
