Steering Systems - Section G

G - 2 PROPELLER TORQUE

The propeller rotation of a single engine operation will

exert a directional force on the steering sys tem.

Propeller torque can also cause the boat to wander

(not follow a straight line) when operat ed at low speeds.

This condition is normal and can be corrected only by

increasing engine RPM. Wind, water currents and play

in steering compo nents can cause equivalent effects.

Ste ering ef fort can vary sig nifi cant ly with en gine

ac cel era tion, stee ring an gle, trim an gle, and

sea condition. Be prepared for additional

steering loads at all times.

G - 3 STEERING SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

A. General Maintenance

A periodic inspection of all steering cables, linkage

and helm assemblies should be made. Signs of

corrosion, cracking, loosening of fasten ings, excessive

wear, or deterioration should be imme di ately correct-

ed. Failure to do so could lead to steering system

failure and corresponding loss of control.

NOTICE

Check all bolts, nuts and fasteners for tightness.

B. Rotary System Maintenance

The helm and cable assembly should be so adjust ed

that the steering wheel is centered with the drive or

outboard engine in the straight ahead position. There

should be an equal number of turns to port and

starboard from the straight ahead position. If adjust-

ment becomes neces sary, see your Four Winns

dealer.

Check all metal parts at the cable output end for

corrosion. Remove any old grease from the cable

ram and motor swivel connections using a mild

solvent such as WD-40. Spray the cleaned areas

with a moisture-displacing lubri cant and apply a light

coat of good quality marine grease. Do this with the

ram fully extend ed. See Figure G3.

will result in harder steering and possible damage

to the steer ing cable.

If the power steering system cannot be corrected on

board, proceed at a reduced speed. The boat will be

steerable, but with increased effort. Return the boat

to your Four Winns dealer as soon as possible to

correct the power steering system.

Check the power steering fluid level in the

reservoir periodically. Low power steering fluid

levels may in crease steering difficulty.

After the first two hours of running time, check

the entire steering system for loose bolts, nuts

and fasteners which could adversely affect

steering control.

NOTICE

When storing equipment in the engine com part-

ment, be sure to avoid contact with the steering

cable. Cables may become kinked or damaged

and may increase steering effort.

NOTICE

DO NOT force the s teer ing unit to ei ther ex-

treme. This can place undue strain on the unit

and can lead to hydrau lic line or seal fail ure.

It is important that the power steering fluid be main-

tained at the proper level. Do not over fill the power

steering pump reservoir. Please consult the section

in the engine manual regarding steering system and

maintenance. The engine manual is included in the

owner’s packet.
