10.2.2 Limp Home
When a Danger fault results in steering and/or shift and throttle
performance being restricted or suspended, the CANtrak may
provide instructions on how to enter Limp Home mode.
Limp home will provide instructions for the user to manually move
the engine(s), and/or control the shift and throttle, and allow the
user to “limp home” at a reduced performance.
There are three Limp Home modes depending on the nature of the
fault.
Limp Home Mode 1
This mode occurs when the system can no longer provide steering
to ANY of the engines. The CANtrak will instruct the operator to
manually realign the engines using the service valves, and proceed
home immediately using the shift and throttle controls to control the
vessel as shown in the figure below.
Limp home mode is an override system. It may severely limit your
boat control. It should ONLY be used in an emergency if you are
unable to call for assistance. Proceed with extreme caution.
Always wear PFDs and lanyard. Refer to the notice in Section 10.0.
