STEERING GEAR
MAINTENANCE
- Regularly check:
• The tension in the steering cables.
• The tightness of the steering system components.
- Don't tighten the steering cables excessively.
- Lubricate all the elements.
Maintain the nylon, ertalon or teflon bushes with only a suitable lubricant.
Note: Do not hesitate to consult your dealer about system maintenance.
CABLE ADJUSTMENT - STEERING SYSTEM
The steering gear is assembled and pre-adjusted at the factory, however, only actual use at
sea will enable the steering cable to find its definitive postion around the wheel drum.
For this reason, it is necessary to re-adjust the gear after the first few sea outings.
WARNING
- Refer to chapter 2 "Safety"for use of the emergency tiller.
ADVICE - RECOMMENDATION
- The emergency tiller is designed only to be able to continue underway at a reduced speed
in case of steering gear failure.
WARNING
- The steering system is a feature of sailing safety and for this reason must be
verified at least once a year.
- The steering cable must be changed every 10 years.
