The power assisted steering system has been designed to make steering easier during navigation and to improve the safety conditions of the system.
The yacht’s wheels are connected to a mechatronic system that constantly acquires their real position. In the engine room, an electronically connected electro-hydraulic control unit drives the rudders by means of hydraulic cylinders.
The control unit is equipped with an automatic filling system which enables the oil to be poured directly into the tank of the control unit itself.
To activate a helm station’s wheel, make sure no one is using one of the other wheels and steer with the desired one. The system will automatically activate it, deactivating the other station.
When the autopilot is activated, the system automatically sets itself to the by-pass state, deactivating all its signals and enabling the autopilot to control the rudders.
For further information on use and maintenance, please refer to the manufacturer’s manual.
