Turn the steering friction lock in the motor (just above the
clamps and below the shift lever) all the way to the left.
(Full free steering rotation. See motor manual if necessary.)
The motor must steer very freely for the autopilot to work.
If there is still any drag in the steering loosen the nut that
is controlled by the friction lever to eliminate it. Tip the
motor to the down position. Remove the lower clamp bolt
from the lower motor vibration isolation mount. Be sure
the upper bolt is tight or the unit can slide down on the
inner shaft.
Do not remove both bolts at the same time.
Put a little thread lock on the bolt.
Install an 8
MM Bolt (
item 8
) through a Lock Washer (
item
9
), through the lower front hole in the Cylinder
Mounting Channel (
item 6
), both Doubler Plates
(
item 7
), the Lower Long Standoff (
item 3
), and
into the lower motor vibration isolation mount.
Lightly snug the bolt.
