2/ Helm Control Systems
2.1 GENERAL
The helm station contains the controls and monitors for the boat. The main control
systems include the engine throttle and shift controls, the steering system, and the trim
tab controls. These provide the operator with the ability to control speed, direction, boat
trim, and attitude. Because these systems are manufactured separately, each
manufacturer provides separate manuals that include the operation and use of their
system. We have included some general information of each system for quick access
below.
2.2 HYDRAULIC STEERING SYSTEM
General
Your boat is equipped with hydraulic steering. This system uses hydraulic fluid to change
the position of the outboard motors, and thus steer the boat. This hydraulic system may
include power assist pumps, similar to the operation of the power steering in your car.
The SeaStar ® helm pump is an axial piston pump. It has a built-in lock valve to prevent
the steering load of the engines from feeding back to the boat operator. Please review
the hydraulic steering diagram in the appendix of this manual for a visual representation
of this system. In the event of a power assist failure, the steering system will still function
normally but in a manual mode, which requires greater steering effort by the operator.
While running at slow speeds, your boat may tend to wander slightly back and forth. By
keeping the wheel in the center without overcompensating for the slight wandering will
prevent over-steering, and will also
reduce the boat’s tendency to wander.
Steering System Maintenance
Routine system inspection should occur regularly. Cables, hoses, linkages, and helm
assemblies should be inspected for wear, corrosion, cracking, or deterioration. Cleaning
and light grease should be applied to all exposed metal parts. All damaged or
deteriorated parts should be replaced immediately.
Cleaning fluids containing ammonia, acids, or any other corrosive ingredients must not
be used for cleaning any part of the steering system. Failure to comply will cause serious
damage to the system, which could result in an accident or injury.
2.3 ENGINE THROTTLE AND SHIFT CONTROLS
For full information on the Yamaha Outboards installed on your boat, consult the
Yamaha engine manual.
Your boat is equipped with twin engines
. These advanced engines utilize Yamaha’s
electronic digital engine control, which allows for automated synchronization and
operation of their outboard motors. With this system, there are no cables, and no
required manual adjustments.
