ENGINE CONTROLS AND STEERING
1. Dual Station Engine Controls
(i) Description
The Morse dual station engine control system comprises two twin control heads
situated as follows:-
(a) Saloon main console
(b) Bridge
Movement of the engine throttle and gearbox control levers is obtained from a
single lever on the control head by means of cables connecting the control head
with the dual station units.
The dual stations units are in turn connected to the respective engine throttle
and gearbox control levers by rod and swivel joint linkages. The control heads
have a built in “lost motion” linkage which ensures that the gearbox clutches are
fully engaged before the engine throttles commence to open.
(ii) Operation
The engines may be controlled from either the saloon or the bridge control
positions provided that one set of controls is at the neutral position. To start and
n.m up the engines before casting off, the engine throttles can be opened whilst
leaving the gearbox levers in the neutral position. This is achieved by pulling
each control lever sideways from its pivot point before pushing forward to
increase engine R. P. M. The reverse gear controls will automatically re engage
when the control head levers are returned to the neutral position.
2. (i) Steering System
The system is a dual control rod connected system manufactured by Whitlock
Marine Steering Co. Steering is transferred through Bevel gearboxes via
universal couplings and rods to a master gearbox from which a direct coupling is
made to the rudder arms by means of ball joints.
(ii) Maintenance
The transfer bevel boxes are packed with grease for life and require no
maintenance. The master gearbox is similarly filled with a heavy duty gear oil
and should require no maintenance but an annual check for leakage should be
made.
The steering connection ball joints on the rudders should be greased every 12
months.
(iii) Manufacturer
Whitlock Marine Steering Co. Ltd.,
Unit 7, Faldo Road Industrial Estate,
Barton-le-Clay,
Beds.
Telephone :- Hexton Park 8332

3. Rudders
The rudder blade and stock are of cast bronze. The stock passes up through
the hull and through a tube and stuffing box. The tube is packed with grease
and provided with a grease cup. The stock is held at the top by the steering
arm.
Rudder Maintenance
The grease cup should be turned down a couple of turns before each trip and
the stuffing box tightened every 50 hours of running. The gland packing is
¼" x ¼" g r a p h i t e .

BILGE SYSTEM AND FRESHWATER SYSTEM
Description of Bilge System
The two main engine room bulkheads divide the bilges up into three sections;
forward cabin, engine room, aft cabin. Water from the forward cabin can only
pass into the aft cabin bilge by means of a pipe running through the engine room
thus the engine room bilge is isolated from the rest of the boat.
Bilge Pumps
Water from the forward cabin automatically drains into the aft cabin bilge
from where it can be pumped overboard with the ‘Whale’ gusher 15 manual
pump. A smaller ‘Whale’ manual pump is fitted in the engine room to deal
with oil and water under the engines.
Location
The ‘Gusher’ 15 pump is situated in the engine compartment.
The Whale lightweight bulkhead pump Mk. II is mounted on the side of the
battery box situated between the engines.
Manufacturer of Whale Pumps
Munster Simms Engineering Ltd.,
Belfast.
Description of Freshwater System
Fresh water is contained in two stainless steel tanks with a total capacity of
80 gallons approximately. The port tank contains 56 gallons approximately.
The starboard tank contains 24 gallons approximately.
The tanks are situated in the aft cabin under the port berth and under the
head of the starboard berth.
They are permanently connected by a balance pipe.
The water is drawn from the port tanks by the Godwin automatic pump
which has a pressure control switch which is activated as soon as a tap is
turned on. Cold water is supplied from the pump to the forward toilet, galley
taps and water heater, aft toilet taps and shower. Hot water is supplied
from the heater to both toilets, shower and galley.
A shut-off valve is fitted on the Godwin pump on the supply line from the
tank. The water supply can thus be turned off should the pump need
maintenance.
Do not run the pump with the water supply cut off.
Both tanks are filled from one deck filler situated on the port side. Both
tanks are fitted with through-hull breathers. An electrical tank gauge can be
fitted as an extra when it is situated in a prominent position in the galley.
E2
Warning
Do not let the tank level fall to below ¼ full. If tanks are run dry damage
could result to the pump and sediment etc. could cause blockage in the pump
and heater. For information on the Godwin Pump please see the
manufacturers literature at the back of this manual.
Identification of Pipes
Cold water pipes are usually of clear PVC plastic
Hot water pipes are red or black HD PVC
Sink and Toilet Connections
All sinks drain straight overboard through skin fittings situated above the
waterline.
The toilet inlets are ¾" Seacocks and the outlets are 1 ¼" Seacocks.
In the forward toilet the seacocks are situated under the hatch between the
toilet and galley.
The seacocks for the aft toilet can be found under the forward floorboard in
the aft cabin.
Shower
The shower in the aft cabin toilet is equipped with a Jabsco ‘Water Puppy’
electric pump which discharges waste water straight overboard. The switch
to operate the pump is situated above the sink.

main tanks is situated on the centreline at the aft end of the engine
compartment. The smaller tank is situated under the aft berth in the aft cabin.
The tanks are of stainless steel and are connected by a balance pipe. A shut off
valve is included in the balance pipe.
Fuel is drawn from the aft tank and passes through a water trap sedimenter, one
for each supply line. The fuel then passes direct to the engine fuel lift pump
which has a fine gauze filter inside. Fuel then passes to the final filter which is a
paper element type.
Note
See Perkins engine manual section Ml for details on cleaning and replacement of
filters.
After filtering, fuel passes to the C.A.V. fuel injection pump from where it is
distributed to the atomisers.
See Perkins engine manual section Ml for details on servicing of fuel injection
pump.
The fuel tanks are filled by one deck filler situated on the starboard side which
fills the main tank and the aft tank via the balance pipe.
Warning
Tanks should be replenished in ample time to prevent drawing fuel from the
bottom of the tanks which may contain a certain amount of water. Drain cocks
are fitted to the bottom of each tank and any contaminated fuel should be drawn
off from time to time.
Shut off valves are fitted on the balance pipe and on both fuel lines from the aft
tank.
Note
It is not recommended to turn off the fuel isolating valves unless absolutely
necessary, as this may lead to airlocks in the system. This does not apply to the
isolating valve in the supply line to the Webasto heater (when this equipment is
fitted as an extra) and this can be turned off if desired when the heater is not
required.
Bleeding the System
If air enters the fuel pipelines from the tanks, filters or pipe joints, the complete
system must be bled progressively from the tanks to the injection pump. For
bleeding procedure see engine manual page M8.
