h.  While holding the Wrap Drum just above the Cable 

Gear, and maintaining tension on the Steering 
Cables, carefully rotate the Wrap Drum right or left 
until the top of the Foot Pedal is parallel with the 
deck of the boat. The proper position of the Wrap 
Drum will locate the anchors for each of the Steering 
Cables equidistant from the mid-line of the Cable 
Anchor where it is secured to the Steering Module. 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 

i.  Once the Foot Pedal is at the desired position, align 

the Wrap Drum with the nearest tooth on the splined 
shaft of the Cable Gear.  Press the Wrap Drum 
securely down so that it is seated on top of the Cable 
Gear. At this point, the head of the motor should be 
parallel with the keel of the boat and the top of the 
foot pedal should be parallel with the deck of the 
boat.

Tension Screw located at the base of the Toe End of 
the Foot Pedal to 10 - 12 in-lbs until the Steering

number of turns as was used in step 4f.

   

NOTICE:

 

The top of the Wrap Drum has rounded and 

smooth edges. The bottom of the Wrap Drum is flat 
and the teeth that engage the Cable Gear are visible in 
the center.

CAUTION

Do not make this adjustment by applying pressure to the 
Foot Pedal. Rotate the Wrap Drum manually and use the Foot 
Pedal position as a guide to indicate the proper position of 
the Wrap Drum. 

CAUTION

Do not over tighten the Cable Tension Screw, as excessive 
tension will cause damage to the unit. 

CAUTION

If the Wrap Drum becomes unintentionally disengaged from the 
Cable Gear, the Steering Cables can become unwound and will 
need to be reassembled correctly for proper operation.
