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.

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

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.
