13.2.6 Steering system
Depending on the model and selected accessories, the boat can be equipped with either hydraulic, electrical, or mechanical steering.
If you replace any component in the steering system, note that all components must conform to the ISO 10592 standard and carry the CE mark.
The hydraulic steering wheel’s position changes constantly, which is why the boat is equipped with a symmetrical steering wheel.
The hydraulic steering does not require maintenance under normal circumstances. However, if the steering starts to feel loose, there is a leak in the system.
A hydraulic steering system that has a leak or trapped air in the hoses is extremely dangerous.
Have leaks repaired immediately.
Electrical steering is maintenance free in normal conditions, but like any steering system should be checked for correct functionality regularly.
Have the uncovered parts of the mechanical steering system cleaned and greased during maintenance.
If the mechanical steering starts to feel stuck, take the boat in for professional servicing.
