2.1 General

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 manual’s 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.
