Loss of Steering
NOTE! The following procedures only apply if the boat is equipped with electronic or joystick steering.
WARNING!
When steering wheel control is lost, engine speed is automatically limited.
WARNING!
When one engine stops running, oil pressure needed to control steering for that drive side will be lost. While the
functioning side will still provide steerage, control characteristics for the boat will be substantially different from
that of two running engines.
WARNING!
Do not shut off engines when docking or when you need to maneuver the boat. When you shut off the engines,
the drives will center and stay centered as long as the engine is off. If you are are still in motion when this occurs,
you will not have steering control and the boat will move straight forward until coming to a standstill.
Both Engines Stop Running
One Engine Stops Running
There are several reasons that both engines would
stop running. If the emergency stop switch (ignition
lanyard) is pulled, both engines will stop operating.
Running out of fuel will also cause the engines to stop
functioning. Another possibility is that the propellers
become fouled (e.g. anchor line, tow rope, etc.) and
cause the engine to stop.
In all situations where the engines stop running,
you will lose all steering control.
If you are driving
straight forward, the boat will eventually coast to a
standstill. If you are turning, the boat may straighten
out and eventually will come to a standstill.
In some instances, only one engine may stop func-
tioning. A reason for this could be that the propeller(s)
on one drive become fouled (e.g. anchor line, tow
rope, etc.) and cause the engine to stop running. Other
possibilities include engine failure, ignition key turned
off, and so on.
Whatever the cause for one engine shutting down, you
will lose steering control on that drive side. You will still
be able to steer with the remaining working engine.
When using only one engine, the drive on the non-
working side should be tilted up. To tilt up the
nonworking drive:
1.
Turn ignition key on the non-working side to the
START position (key on, engine off).
2.
Using the trim/tilt button, tilt the drive up as far
as it will go.
3.
Turn ignition key off.
NOTICE!
Failure to lift the drive with steering faults
may cause the drives to hit one another, potentially
causing extensive damage to drives and engines.
