STEERING (Contd)
STEERING, USING SCOOP REVERSE DEFLECTOR CONTROLS
WARNING
Do not attempt to make turns at high engine rpm using
the scoop controls. Failure to comply may result in
equipment damage and injury or death to personnel.
NOTE
This method of steering is used at approximately 1,000
engine rpm to make slow and fine adjustments to
heading. It is commonly called "inching into position."
1. To make small starboard turn while boat is moving slowly forward, move
starboard SCOOP REVERSE DEFLECTOR control lever (3) slightly back
toward neutral position. Moving port SCOOP REVERSE DEFLECTOR control
lever (2) slightly forward increases turn capabilities.
2. To make small port turn while boat is moving slowly forward, move port scoop
REVERSE DEFLECTOR control lever (2) slightly back toward neutral position.
Moving starboard SCOOP REVERSE DEFLECTOR controllever (3) slightly
forward increases turn capabilities.
3. To make small starboard turn while boat is moving slowly backward, move
starboard SCOOP REVERSE DEFLECTOR control lever (3) slightly forward
toward neutral position. Moving lever (3) further toward neutral increases turn
capabilities.
4. To make small port turn while boat is moving slowly backward, move port
SCOOP REVERSE DEFLECTOR control lever (2) slightly forward toward
neutral position. Moving lever (2) further toward neutral increases turn
capabilities.
