STEERING SYSTEM
The steering system is the primary link for engine control and must be
inspected and maintained regularly. The hardware at both the helm and
engine end of the steering cable must be checked frequently for tightness.
Refer to the engine operator’s manual for the appropriate torques.
The steering bar must be lubricated monthly to ensure smooth operation.
Turn the steering wheel to a full starboard turn to expose the bar. Use a high
quality waterproof marine grease and fully coat the bar. Turn the steering
wheel back and forth to work the grease in.
