CHAP. B
B.1 STEERING SYSTEM
The two main helm stations of the boat, with
two helmwheels, are located at the stern.
The steering system comprises a mechanical
device with two columns and a circuit with a
steel cable that moves a rotating flange fixed
rigidly to the shaft of the single rudder.
The classic steering system with cables is fit-
ted with turnbuckles to allow their tension
to be adjusted. It is advisable to have this
adjustment made only by qualified techni-
cians. Checks on the condition of the cable
and the possible presence of wear or other
damage must be made every year.
If an autopilot is installed (optional), the rud-
der is also connected to the autopilot actuator
arm (located in the afterpeak).
On the starboard side of the starboard helm
station there are various controls and panels:
- a panel containing a 12 V DC power socket
(optional) and controls for the foredeck
lights, compass light and light beneath the
boom (optional);
- VHF loudspeaker, with mute switch;
- propulsion engine controls;
- engine/marine gear remote-control lever;
- shore power connector (230 V AC);
On the opposite side, on the port side of the
cockpit, there are the following:
- GPS-Plotter for navigation (optional);
- handle for remote fuel supply cut-off;
- shower with extractable hose and mixer tap;
- manual bilge pumps (drains water from the
central bilge beneath the dinette).
B. HELM STATIONS
This chapter describes the helm stations of the
boat, illustrating the controls and instruments
provided and giving a brief overview of the
functions of the various components.
NB: The description given regards the
controls and instruments normally
fitted. Your boat may be fitted with
different components or equipment
fitted after delivery to the first owner,
and may therefore differ partially from
the description given in this chapter.
In case of doubt, do not hesitate to
contact your boat dealer or the builder’s
assistance service for full explanations.
THE HELM STATIONS MAY GIVE ONLY
A LIMITED FIELD OF VISION, DUE
TO THE BOAT’S POSITION OR THE
PRESENCE OF SAILS OR PERSONS.
ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE WATERS
AROUND YOU ARE KEPT UNDER
CONSTANT OBSERVATION, SO AS TO
AVOID ALL POSSIBLE OBSTACLES.
The descriptions given may refer to both
standard and optional systems and equipment.
