5.3 Rudder plant
Most rescue boats are fitted with outboard engines and tiller steering. These
boats have no rudder plant (Fig. 16).
As well the rescue boats with inboard diesel engine are operated by a tiller.
Those rescue boats with more powerful outboard engines do have a remote
steering from the steering stand. (Fig. 17)

5.4 Bailing
Fassmer Rescue boats are self bailing. The water inside the boat will drain
automatically to outside through fixed installed bailers (1). If water should not
drain out, check if the bailer is blocked, closed or obstructed.
Water in other areas can be removed with a bailer. A bailing pump is not
necessary.

AIR CASE DRAINING
To drain the air case of the hull a drain plug is mounted outside the boat at
the transom.
