If the extinguisher system is activated, shut
down all engines immediately. Turn off all
electrical systems, powered ventilation and
extinguish all smoking materials. DO NOT
open the engine compartment hatch, this will
feed oxygen to the fire and a flashback can
occur. Allow the extinguishing agent to soak
the generator compartment for at least 15
minutes and wait for hot metals or fuels to
cool before inspecting for cause or damage.
Have an approved portable fire extinguisher
at hand and ready for use and DO NOT
breathe fumes or vapors caused by the fire.
It is extremely important that you read,
understand and know how this system
works, refer to the manufacturer’s literature.

2.8 Steering System
The steering system is hydraulic and made
of two main components: the helm assembly
and the hydraulic cylinder. The helm unit
acts as both a fluid reservoir and pump.
Turning of the helm, or steering wheel,
pumps the fluid in the hydraulic hoses and
activates the hydraulic cylinder causing the
motors to turn. A slight clicking sound may
be heard as the wheel is turned. This sound
is the opening and closing of valves in the
helm unit and is normal. Refer to the steer-
ing manufacturer owner’s manual for spe-
cific information on the steering system.
Dual engine outboards are coupled at the til-
ler arms by a tie bar. The outboards must be
aligned with each other to provide maximum
stability on straight ahead runs and proper
tracking through corners. If damage has
ever occurred with the outboards or steering
system, the outboards may have to be
realigned.
Power Steering
The power steering system uses an electri-
cally controlled hydraulic pump to provide
power to the standard hydraulic steering
system. Additional components are a helm
mounted power steering switch and a
hydraulic pump. The switch activates the
power steering feature. Manual steering is
always available regardless of the switch
position. To reduce the sensitivity of the
steering, turn off the power steering at low
speeds. To conserve battery power, because
of limited engine charging output during
extended periods of slow speed operation,
the power steering should be turned off.
Refer to the Teleflex® Power Assist manual
for more information.
Yamaha Helm Master (Optional)
The Yamaha Helm Master system is
optional. Refer to the Yamaha Owner's Man-
ual for operational information.
Tilt Helm
A tilt helm and steering wheel is installed on
your boat. To tilt the helm, depress the lever
located in the base of the helm and move
into position. DO NOT adjust when the boat
is underway.
NOTICE
Some autopilot systems have engine
position sensors mounted to the
hydraulic steering cylinder. The
sensor bracket can contact the
transom when the engines are fully
tilted up and damage the autopilot,
engine rigging or transom. Monitor
the bracket and rigging while engines
are tilting to determine the best
position for your application.
