Steering malfunction
If a steering malfunction occurs, a warning
message will appear on the Digital Network
Gauge (6Y9) display. This section explains
these warnings. If you need additional infor-
mation, contact your Yamaha dealer.
■
One engine’s steering does not oper-
ate (locked or free)
If one engine’s steering does not move as
expected the following will occur.
• A display window appears, and a buzzer
sounds.
• The remote control alert indicator shows
which engine the steering is malfunction-
ing in.
Example:
The steering control system shifts all engines
into neutral and returns all engines to idle
speed. At this time, normal engine steering
can only be used within a limited range.
Operators should comply with the following
procedures and return to port. After returning
to port, please have the unit checked imme-
diately by a Yamaha dealer.
1. Place the remote control levers in the N
position.
TIP:
Throttle and shift control will not return until
the remote control levers are returned to the
N position.
2. Check the alert messages on the Digital
Network Gauge (6Y9) and check which
engine is not responding properly to
steering input.
3. Open the steering bypass valve of the
malfunctioning engine. The engine with
the malfunction steering can be manu-
ally moved side to side, with minimal
effort.
