Installing the Flat Bracket and Linkage Arm
You should use the flat bracket when installing the steering actuator on kicker motors with bolts or mounting
holes on the underside of the tiller arm, such as Yamaha motors.
1 Locate the mounting holes or bolts on the underside of the tiller arm on the kicker motor that align with the
holes on the bracket.
2 Complete an action:
• If your motor has bolts in the holes, remove and retain the bolts.
• If your motor does not have bolts in the holes, purchase the appropriate bolts for the holes.
3 Using the existing bolts or purchased bolts, secure the bracket to the underside of the tiller arm.
NOTE: If there is adequate clearance beneath the motor for you to tighten the bolts after the linkage is
assembled, you may find it easier to secure the bracket to the kicker motor tiller arm after you have
assembled the linkage.
4 Place the black nylon washer over the threaded rod on the bracket.
5 With the wrench flats on the bushing pointing away from the bracket, screw the bushing onto the
threaded rod on the bracket.
6 Using an 11 mm (
7
/
16
in.) wrench, tighten the bushing onto the bracket.
7 Place a nylon washer over the bushing on the bracket.
8 With the notched end of the linkage arm facing away from the bracket, place the linkage arm over the
bushing on the bracket.
9 Place the other nylon washer over the bushing on the bracket.
10 With the narrow end of the nut facing towards the bracket, screw the nut onto the end of the threaded
rod.
11 Using a 15 mm (
19
/
32
in.) wrench, tighten the nut to secure the linkage arm to the bracket.
