information regarding steering failure.
If a problem with the steering occurs, observe the fault
displays on the EVS displays. Acknowledge the alarm
and take the recommended measures referred to in
the “Fault Register” chapter of the engine manual.
Shut down the engines immediately and restart. If
error remains after restart have the boat towed to an
authorized service facility.
Emergency Shifting procedure:
In emergency shifting, the unit is locked in
forwards operation. Please note that the gear
can not then be disengaged with the control
lever. Forward motion can only be cut off by
stopping the engine with the ignition key or stop
button.
If the steering is not operating properly, do not operate
the boat and call for assistance. In the extreme
circumstance that the boat had to be steered, it could
be done using control levers. See the engine manual
for details. Also, refer to the section called “Alignment
of the Drive-unit” in the engine manual under the “In
Case of Emergency” chapter in order to place the
drive-unit straight forward without using the steering
wheel.
Note: This description is for manual engagement of
the drive-unit, for forward travel. Refer to Figure S2.
1. Stop the engine and remove the start key from the
key switch.
K. Additional Underway Information
•
Always be aware of local laws on noise limits.
Noise means engine noise, radio noise or even
yelling by people on your boat. Good seamanship
demands that you operate your boat quietly so as
not to infringe on the rights of others. Don’t use
thru-transom exhaust unless you are well off
shore.

. Note the valve to which the cable marked “Pri-
mary” (lower solenoid) is connected. Then undo
both connectors from the solenoid valves.
NOTE! P is forward and S is backward.
3. Remove the cap nut from the valve which was
connected to the “Primary” cable.

•
You are responsible for any damage or injury
caused by your boat’s wake. Observe no wake
speed zone warnings. Operate your boat with
regard for the safety of other boats and people in
your boating area.
4
. Press the valve (1) while turning (2) the button a
1/2 turn counter-clockwise (the button is forced
out by spring action). The drive-unit is now con-
nected for forward motion and cannot be disen-
gaged by the control lever.
Keep your engine well tuned to decrease exhaust
hydrocarbon emissions that pollute the air and
water.
S - 11 RETURNING TO SHORE
A. Docking
Always approach the dock slowly. Think before acting.
If you are wondering whether your boat will fit in a
space against a dock, remember that pilings are often
(but not always) spaced 10 feet apart.
