WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK, AND/OR
LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL HAZARD.
Failure to obey the following warnings could
result in death or serious injury:
• Turn off all power to the boat before installing the
XPA.
• When replacing an existing steering system, it is
recommended that you stay with the same style (rack
or rotary) the boat manufacturer installed.
• Never change your steering from a dual cable to a
single cable system, as this could cause an unsafe
boating condition.
• Helms and cable assemblies are supplied lubricated
for installation, do not add any lubricant to either
assembly. Use of other lubricants can cause damage
to the steering cable, resulting in the cable seizing or
premature wear. Keep the cable and drive assembly
clean during installation. Dirt will damage the system
and cause premature wear. Do
not take the plastic
sleeve off the end of the cable until you are ready to
install it into the helm. This warning does
not include
the steering cable ram.
• Do not use a wheel-mounted trim switch with a
coiled cord. The cord can wrap around the steering
wheel shaft and inhibit steering.
This section describes how to prepare the steering
assembly and install the XPA on the engine.
