Section 4

The helm transfers rotary motion of the steering wheel to linear motion in the cable which pushes or pulls the rudder. Nautique rudders are equipped with an adjustable trim tab under license from Z-Marine (U.S. patent 5,746,147) to compensate for the torque generated by the propeller.

Maintenance for the steering system is minimal because there are few serviceable parts. The rack and pinion for the system is lubricated and sealed during manufacturing. It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to inspect the steering system frequently.

If you experience difficulty in steering, refer to Section 8 - Care and Maintenance.

Hazard from improper maintenance of the controls can cause death or serious injury from sudden loss of control. DO NOT operate your boat if you suspect the steering system or control are

Hydro-Gate™ Control and

SportShift

The Hydro-Gate is engaged by moving the SportShift lever located at the helm’s starboard side fore and disengaged by moving the lever aft. When the SportShift lever is pushed forward, the Hydro- Gate is engaged, creating maximum lift for a wake with a well- defined crest and shallower ramp. When the SportShift lever is pushed aft, the Hydro-Gate is disengaged (raised), allowing your boat to sit deeper in the water, creating the maximum wake with a steep ramp. The SportShift lever can be placed in any position to create your ultimate wake. When used in conjunction with the Launch Control System, the SportShift and the Hydro-Gate can be used to create a wide variety of wakes to meet your style and need. The SportShift and Hydro-Gate can be used at any speed or at rest.
