Quicksilver 755OP — System & Component Overview and Operation
Before operating the windlass, make sure that the safety
lanyard is removed from the anchor
Manual operation
In the event that there is a loss of power, the windlass can still be used to raise or lower the anchor
manually. If there is a loss of power, check the windlass breaker to see if it needs to be reset. If you
reset the breaker and it continues to trip, have your authorized Quicksilver® dealer inspect the
system.
In order to manually operate the windlass and lower the anchor into the water, insert the emergency
handle (provided by the windlass manufacturer) into the star socket located at the top of the gypsy
cover and turn counter-clockwise. This loosens the clutch holding the anchor rode and chain in place
and allows the anchor to be deployed into the water. The speed of the rode can be adjusted by
turning the handle clockwise. To re-engage the clutch and lock the rode from moving, turn the handle
clockwise.
To manually raise the anchor, loosen the clutch by turning the handle counter-clockwise, and pull the
anchor up into the boat. Make sure to properly feed the rode and chain through the windlass when
pulling up the anchor. When the anchor is up and stowed properly in the bow pulpit, re-engage the
clutch by turning the handle clockwise.
10. Steering
Your boat comes equipped with a hydraulic steering system. The basic system for a single engine boat
contains a steering wheel, a hydraulic helm pump, a hydraulic steering cylinder, and hydraulic hoses. If
you purchase a Mercury Verado® six cylinder engine, the steering system includes an electric power
assisted steering pump to aid in the handling of the vessel.
Operation
When turning the steering wheel, the helm pump forces hydraulic fluid through hoses to and from the
steering cylinder which is connected to the tiller arm on the engine. The cylinder moves the tiller arm
to either port and starboard, depending upon the direction the steering wheel is turned.
Filling and Maintenance
A hydraulic steering system rarely needs to be refilled after the system is bled. However, if you ever
need to add fluid to the system, refer to the steering manufacturer’s manual for complete
instructions.
On a standard non tilt helm, the fill point is located on the helm itself, in front of the steering wheel. If
you have a tilt helm (non L6 Verado), the fill cap is located on the helm pump, under the dash. To gain
access to the cap, remove the plug located on the dash in front of the steering wheel. On a six cylinder
Verado powered boat, fluid is added at the power assist pump, located in the port aft corner of the
cockpit. To access, open the access hatch on the vertical wall. Next, remove the cover on the power
assist pump and unscrew the cap.
