IMPORTANT: The steering link rod that connects
the steering cable to the engine must be fastened
using special bolt (“a” - Part Number 10-90041)
and self locking nuts (“b” & “c” - Part Number
11-34863). These locknuts must never be re-
placed with common nuts (non locking) as they
will work loose and vibrate off, freeing the link rod
to disengage.
WARNING
Disengagement of a steering link rod can result in
the boat taking a full, sudden, sharp turn. This po-
tentially violent action can cause occupants to be
thrown overboard exposing them to serious inju-
ry or death.
