In Case of Emergency
Emergency Steering Emergency Alignment, Propulsion Unit If a fault occurs which prevents one or several propulsion units from being operated with the steering wheel it is possible to align the propulsion unit(s) for straight forward operation manually using the description below. If one or several propulsion units can be operated by the steering wheel, this emergency operation is not necessary. However, it could be that the steering ability is badly unbalanced if the non working propulsion unit(s) is locked in a disadvantageous angle, then alignment of the non working propulsion unit(s) will improve the steering ability. The operator determines whether the alignment is necessary or not, in order to maneuver the boat in a safe way to the nearest harbor. If steering is out of order on all propulsion units, align all propulsion units and use control levers to steer the boat. The tools needed during this operation are delivered in a special tool box together with the boat.
WARNING! Working with or approaching a running engine is a safety risk. Watch out for rotating components and hot surfaces. The following procedure can be carried out with the engines running, even though it is not recommended. Wear hearing protection when in the engine room as there is a risk of harmful sound levels.
