The helm station is the control center for the boat. The
main control systems are the engine throttle and shift
controls, the steering system, and the trim tab controls.
These provide the operator the ability to control speed,
direction, boat trim, and attitude. Each manufacturer
provides manuals on the operation and use of their
systems.
On the EdgeWater 175CC and 155CC, the helm station
is located on a unique flip up center console. This
console flips forward to allow access to a large storage
area.
Make sure the snap locks are secure before the
boat leaves the dock and never release the locks
and flip open the console while the boat is un-
derway!

General
The manual, which comes with your steering system, will provide specific information on your steering
system.
The standard steering system for the 175CC / 155CC is a no-feedback cable system. Turning the
steering wheel results in a large push-pull cable moving the engine to port or starboard.
The optional hydraulic steering system for the 175CC has two main components: a helm assembly and
hydraulic cylinder. Turning the helm, which pumps fluid in the hydraulic hoses, activates the hydraulic
cylinder and causes the motor to turn. The helm acts as both pump and reservoir. Please see diagram in
the manuals appendix for a visual representation of this system.
While running at slow speeds, most boats tend to wander slightly back and forth. Keeping the wheel in
the center without overcompensating for the slight wandering will prevent over steering and reduce the
tendency to wander.
Steering System Maintenance
Routine system inspection should occur regularly. Cables, hoses, linkage and helm assemblies should
be inspected for wear, corrosion, cracking, or deterioration. Cleaning and light grease should be applied
to all exposed metal parts and other damaged or deteriorated parts should be replaced as soon as
possible.
Maintenance for the standard cable system consists mainly of checking for tight connections
and periodically greasing the systems fittings.
