The STEERING WHEEL and SCOOP POSITION INDICATOR are located on the left side of the control
panel. Turning the wheel to port (counterclockwise) tilts the nozzles and scoops to port and the boat
turns to port. Turning the wheel to starboard (clockwise) tilts the nozzles and scoops to starboard and
the boat turns to starboard. When the wheel is centered, the nozzles and scoops are centered and the
boat goes straight ahead. The scoop position indicator is directly behind the hub of the steering wheel.
The indicator has a centermark and a scale starting with 0 in the center. When the wheel is turned the
scale moves under the centering mark. When the wheel is centered, 0 appears under the mark. The
scale is used to determine the approximate position (port-center-starboard) of the scoops. Directly below
the scoop position indicator is a steering damper adjustment knob. Tightening or loosening this knob
adjusts a brake on the steering wheel shaft. This adjustment makes the steering wheel harder or easier
to turn. The operator may choose the exact adjustment. Care must be taken when loosening the
adjustment knob not to unscrew it. Disassembly of the steering wheel assembly may be required to get
the knob back in position.
