The CTR shall provide: SOW for Steering Proportional Valve USCGC GEORGE COBB (WLM-564)

1. Background: While patrolling in DPS autopilot, MPCMS annunciated a STBD Z-drive positioning alarm. Upon shifting to the Z-Conn steering mode, ships force noticed that the STBD Z-drive could only be controlled in the CW direction. After shifting to the emergency steering mode from ECC, the STBD Z-drive continued to spin CW without any control input. Ships Force (SF) disconnected all electrical control cables from the STBD directional control valve, and the Z-drive continued its CW rotation.

Manual actuation of the solenoid resulted in slow operation in the CCW direction and normal operation in the CW direction. As part of the troubleshooting process, SF swapped electrical solenoids between port and STBD Steering Proportional Valves and the issue switched to the port Z-drive indicating a faulty solenoid. SFLC does not have any replacement Steering Proportional Valves on hand and OEM is no longer in business. Cutter is currently unable to meet full operational commitments.
