2-49. Steering System Failure
a. If operating on the #1 pump system, select #2 pump system or vice-versa on the PUMP SELECTOR
SWITCH on the STEERING CONTROL PANEL (1, FIGURE 2-248.1). Steer vessel at reduced
speed until repairs are completed.
b. If steering is available from only one of the steering subsystems, dispatch an engineer to determine
the cause of the loss of steering in the other steering subsystem.
c. When normal steering from the pilothouse is disabled, control can be transferred to the local control
unit in the steering gear room. With communication from the pilothouse, a crew member will select
LOCAL on the LOCAL-REMOTE SWITCH on the LOCAL CONTROL UNIT (1, FIGURE 2-248.2).
d. At direction from the pilothouse, the crew member will move the Non-Follow-up toggle switch (2,
FIGURE 2-248.2) port or starboard. The toggle has a spring return to neutral, while rudder travel
continues unless a hard over stop is reached.
e. If emergency hand pump operation is required, shut pumpsets down and open valves M and N (1 and
2 FIGURE 2-248.3). Operate emergency hand pump as ordered from pilothouse.
