MAINTENANCE
- Regularly check:
• The tension in the steering cables.
• The tightness of the steering system components..
- Don't tighten the steering cables excessively.
- Lubricate all the elements.
Maintain the nylon, ertalon or teflon bushes with only a suitable lubricant.
Note: In case of doubt consult your concessionnaire.
CABLE ADJUSTMENT - STEERING SYSTEM
The steering gear is assembled and pre-adjusted at the factory, however, only actual use at
sea will enable the steering cable to find its definitive postion around the wheel drum.
For this reason, it is necessary to re-adjust the gear after the first few sea outings.
The adjustment is made on the nut and bolt system integral with the steering cable at the join
with the profile. To check the adjustment exert a perpendicular force on the cable between the
wheel drum and the return sheaves located on the hull. The slack in the cable should not
exceed 10 mm. The adjustment is carried out in the same way on the 2 sides of the cable (See
diagram).
WARNING
- Refer to chapter 2 "Safety"for use of the emergency tiller.
- Learn how to judge the necessary distance of deceleration for the vessel to
come to a complete stop.
- The reverse gear is not a brake.
ADVICE - RECOMMENDATION
The emergency tiller is designed only to be able to continue underway at a reduced speed
in case of steering gear failure.
WARNING
- The steering system is a feature of sailing safety and for this reason must be
verified at least once a year.
- The steering cable must be changed every 10 years.
