Section 2 • General Information
R
Steering pull is unnecessary
and
unsafe! Steering trim
tabs provided on most
engines are frequently
improperly adjusted, (they
work opposite to normal
expectation).
To set steering trim tab for neutral steering:
Depending on your engine model, there is a bolt on
the underside or topside center of the tab. Loosen the
bolt prior to adjustment.
If boat veers to the right, (hands off), move the aft
end of the tab to the right.
If boat veers to the left, (hands off), move the aft end
of the tab to the left.
Your 130 Super Sport is equipped with a Telefl ex
no-feedback steering system. The Teleflex
no-feedback steering system has a clutch mechanism
which prevents the engine torque from being felt at
the steering wheel. This reduces driver fatigue by
eliminating the constant need to fi ght the wheel.
Maintenance:
The mechanical steering system should be checked
periodically by your Boston Whaler
®
dealer for
proper lubrication, alignment and to make sure
there is no looseness or binding of the cable. Proper
maintenance of this system will ensure worry-free
usage for the life of your boat.
No-feedback steering system maintenance should
include the following:

Do not cover cracks in the steering cable or
fi ttings with tape or other sealants. This will
create a hazard in which the cable can fail
without warning.
