Helm Control Systems
The momentary touch pad buttons and joystick
are activated by the pressing and holding the
power button in the touch pad for 1 second. Press
the button or move the joystick for the direction
you wish to thrust. Press the opposite button or
move joystick to change direction. A 1 second
delay protects the thruster when the direction is
changed. The arrow on each button indicates the
direction the bow will move when it is pressed.
The bow thruster will stop when the button or
joystick is released.
Press and hold the power button for 1 second
to deactivate the bow thruster control pad. The
bow thruster will power down automatically if it
is operated constantly for 3 minutes or senses no
operation for 15 minutes.
The bow thruster circuit is protected by a fuse or
circuit breaker and emergency shut off button/
battery switch located in the forward bilge com-
partment below the center hatch. It is activated
automatically when the thruster control panel is
switched on and turns off when the panel is de-
activated. It can also be activated manually with
the red knob on the switch.
Refer to the bow thruster owner’s manual for
details on operating the bow thruster and using
the control pad.
4.9 Control Systems Maintenance
Control Maintenance
Periodic inspection of the control systems and all
connections should be made. Signs of rust, cor-
rosion, wear or other deterioration should imme-
diately be serviced. Generally, periodic lubrication
of all moving parts and connections with a light
waterproof grease is in order.
Lubrication should be performed as often as nec-
essary to keep the system operating smoothly.
Control system adjustments may become neces-
sary. If adjustments become necessary, see your
Everglades dealer.
WARNING
DO NOT ATTEMPT CONTROL ADJUSTMENTS UNLESS YOU ARE
FAMILIAR WITH SERVICING CONTROL SYSTEM PROCEDURES.
CONTROL MISADJUSTMENT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL
AND SEVERE ENGINE OR LOWER UNIT DAMAGE.
Steering System Maintenance
A periodic inspection of all steering hoses, linkage
and helm assemblies should be made. Signs of
corrosion, cracking, loosening of fastenings, ex-
cessive wear or deterioration should be corrected
immediately.
The fluid level for the hydraulic steering should be
checked frequently and maintained at the proper
level. The steering fluid level in the helm reservoir
on Teleflex systems should be maintained at no
less than 1/2” below the bottom of the fill plug
hole. The steering fluid level should be maintained
at no less than 1/2” below the bottom of the fill
plug hole on the hydraulic power assist pump res-
ervoir located in the bilge on the starboard side
of the systems compartment. Only use power
steering fluid recommended by the steering sys
-
tem manufacturer when adding fluid. If your boat
is equipped with the optional tower, the steering
fluid level for Teleflex steering systems must be
checked and filled at the upper helm.
Generally, periodic lubrication of all moving parts
and connections with a light waterproof grease is
in order. Check the hydraulic hoses and fittings
for chaffing, rub marks and leaks. Replace if
necessary. Failure to do so could lead to steering
system failure that would result in loss of control.
When new or after repairs, hydraulic steering
systems may need to have all air purged from
the system. Only use hydraulic steering fluid
recommended by the steering system manu-
facturer. Difficult steering and premature seal
failure can result if the wrong fluid is used in the
Power Steering Unit in the Systems Compartment
