Power Steering Information
The Verado four-stroke engine uses an enclosed hy-
draulic pump unit.
The pump is electrically oper-
ated to provide hydraulic pressure to the steering
system pump.
The pump is located in the aft bilge
which can be accessed through the hatch in the bot-
tom of the motorwell.
FILLING AND MAINTENANCE
The system is virtually maintenance free, aside from
regular fluid checks and visually inspecting the out-
side of the unit for signs of leaks or damage.
Remove the shroud and unscrew the cap to check
the fluid level in the reservoir. There is a filter insert
that needs to be checked and cleared if necessary.
Fill as necessary. Make it a habit of checking the
fluid level before each trip.
Use ONLY SAE 0W-30 Full Synthetic Power Steer-
ing Fluid when refilling the reservoir. The power
steering pump’s owner’s manual will have all the
information regarding care and maintenance. Follow
all recommendations carefully.
