2012 Glacier Bay 2740 Owners Manual
Glacier Bays are equipped with a hydraulic steering system, featuring a single steering cylinder mounted on the aft
tunnel tieing both port and starboard engines together with a stainless steel link arm.
1. In order to maintain the excellent steering characteristics of your boat, occasionally you will need to visually
check all hoses and fittings for leaks and fluid levels. We also recommend checking your link arms to insure
all bolts and nuts are still tight.
Similar to hydraulic braking systems in an automobile, it may become necessary to bleed the steering system
occasionally to remove air from the lines. We have provided diagrams of the steering system in section 5.6 thru 5.9
and the Teleflex™ owner’s manual in your “Owner’s Portfolio”. Use the resources, and your dealer, to keep the
steering system in excellent working order. Be aware, these are routine maintenance procedures and are not covered
under warranty by Glacier Bay.

Routinely check hydraulic fluid levels, and all connections for leaks or any sign of mechanical failure.
Lubricate all mechanical parts at least annually with high quality marine grease. Failure to do so may
result in impaired or unresponsive steering.
