loosen the bolt prior to adjustment.

end of the tab to the right.

Filling
Your owners manual
kit has a fill tube that
can be used to replenish
the hydraulic oil for
the hydraulic steering
system. Keep a record
of the times you have
fi lled the hydraulic fl uid
reservoir. Read the
manual for complete
information on the correct type of fl uid to use and
schedule.
• Inspect for corrosion. Check for full
range of motion while steering or sluggishness
while steering. Any part effected by corrosion
must be replaced. When replacing parts, self
locking hardware MUST be used.
• Check the fluid level in the helm pump
unit. Fluid fi ll is located on the top of the unit
behind the steering wheel.
• Carry extra hydraulic fl uid in the boat in case
of emergency.
The Verado four-stroke engine uses an enclosed
hydraulic pump unit.
The pump is electrically
operated to provide hydraulic pressure to the
steering system.
The pump is located in the center
console and can be accessed through the door on the
port side of the console.
Filling & Maintenance
The system is virtually maintenance free, aside from
regular fluid checks and visually inspecting the
outside of the unit for signs of leaks or damage.
