Hydraulic steering is slow to respond & erratic and/or the

steering wheel feels bumpy.

•

Steering system is low on fluid. Fill and bleed system.

•

Steering system has air in it. Fill and bleed system.

• A component in the steering system is binding. Check and

adjust or repair binding component.

• Engine steering spindle is binding. Grease spindles.

The boat wanders and will not hold a course at cruise
speeds with hydraulic steering.

•

There could be air in the steering system. Fill & bleed the

system.

• The engines are not aligned properly. Align engines.
• Engine steering spindle is binding. Grease spindles.

Hydraulic steering is unusually hard.

• The fuse for the power steering circuit has blown. Replace

the fuse.

• An internal fuse in the power steering pump system has

blown. Refer to the steering owners manual for fuse location
and replace the fuse or contact your dealer for assistance.

• A steering line is kinked or collapsed. Replace kinked or

collapsed line.

An engine will not start with the shift control lever in neu-
tral.

• The shift control lever is not in the neutral detent. Try mov-

ing the shift lever slightly.

• There is a loose wire on the neutral safety switch in the

control. Inspect wires and repair loose connections.

• The starter or ignition switch is bad.
• There is a problem with the electronic control system at the

helm control, module or at the engine. Have the system

serviced by a qualified marine technician.

PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS

Boat is sluggish and has lost speed & RPM.

• The boat may be need to have marine growth cleaned from

hull and running gear.

•

Propellers may be damaged & need repair.

• Weeds or line around the propellers. Clean propellers.
• Boat is overloaded. Reduce load.
•

Check for excessive water in the bilge. Pump out bilge &

find & correct the problem.

• One of the throttles is not responding properly and the engine

is not getting full throttle. Have the throttle control system

checked by a qualified marine technician.

The boat vibrates at cruising speeds.

•

Propellers may be damaged & need repair.

• A propeller or propeller shaft is bent. Repair or replace

damaged components.

• The running gear is fouled by marine growth or rope. Clean

running gear.

• The engines are not trimmed properly. Trim engines.
