General
The manual, which comes with your steering system, will provide specific information on your steering
system.
There are two main components of your steering system: a helm assembly and hydraulic cylinder. Turning
the helm, which pumps fluid in the hydraulic hoses, activates the hydraulic cylinder and causes the motor
to turn. The helm acts as both pump and reservoir.
While running at slow speeds, most boats tend to wander slightly back and forth. Keeping the wheel in the
center without overcompensating for the slight wandering will prevent over steering and reduce the tendency
to wander.
Steering System Maintenance
Routine system inspection should occur regularly. Cables, hoses, linkage and helm assemblies should be
inspected for wear, corrosion, cracking, or deterioration. Cleaning and light grease should be applied to all
exposed metal parts and other damaged or deteriorated parts should be replaced as soon as possible.

Refer to the engine manual supplied with your engine for specific information on your controls. The ones
depicted are those supplied by Yamaha.
The EdgeWater 225 EX is equiped with a single engine. There are three major components of the engine
throttle and shift controls: handles, throttle cable, shift cable. Throttle and shift cables are push/pull and
are connected to the fuel system (carburetor or fuel injection) and the other to the shift rod linkage. By
moving the handles forward and back, the operator engages the cables thus controlling the amount of fuel
being used and the gear selector for forward neutral and reverse. Careful use of the controls provides
smooth, responsive and safe operation.
Do not bring the throttle back abruptly to stop the boat unless it is an emergency. Allow time for the
engine RPM to come down to idle before shifting to reverse or severe gearbox damage could occur.
The control is generally in neutral when the lever is 90
o
to the control box. Moving the lever 15
o
forward will
engage forward gear. Moving the lever 15
o
aft from center will engage reverse gear. There is usually a
slight detent at the point where a gear is engaged.
