4.1 GENERAL
The helm control console is where most of the operation controls of the boat are located. Become
familiar with these before you need to use them. You don’t want to be looking for your glasses
and a flashlight while trying to turn on the bow-thruster at night! In addition, make sure that when
you are using the boat, even if you are not using a specific piece of equipment, that the circuit
breakers are on for any equipment you might need. Again, you don’t want to be searching for a
breaker when you need something in a hurry.
4.2 STEERING
Steering of the 29z is by power assisted hydraulic system that directs the stern drive. There is no
rudder. Like an outboard engine,the thrust of the propeller can be directed from side to side.
