WARNING
Do not attempt to service any engine or drive component without being totally familiar with the
safe and proper service procedures. Certain moving parts are exposed and can be dangerous.
CAUTION
Do not paint the outboard motors with anti-fouling paints designed for boat hulls. Many of
these paints can cause severe damage to the engines.
Steering
Most outboard engines are equipped with an adjustable rudder trim tab. This trim tab should
be adjusted to balance the steering at the speed which you travel most frequently. Variations in
speed, boat load or engine trim will cause the steering to pull in one direction. If the boat pulls to
the left, adjust the trim tab to the left and vice-versa.

Hydraulic Steering
Hydraulic steering systems require regular preventative maintenance for continued safe
and reliable operation. The oil level in the helm pump must be maintained within
acceptable operating levels. A low oil level will allow air to get into the steering system and
result in unresponsive steering. The oil level should always be at the base of the threads in
the filler hole, located on the front top portion of the helm pump. Check the entire steering
system regularly for oil leaks. Unobserved leaks over a period of time will result in
unresponsive steering and possibly loss of steering. Refer to the steering manual for
specific recommendations and additional maintenance requirements. Any slow or sudden
change in the “feel” of your steering system indicates an immediate need for a thorough
inspection. All repairs and replacements to steering systems should be made only by a
qualified marine technician.
•
Tilt Steering
If tilt steering is available on your model, this accessory will be in conjunction with either
mechanical steering or hydraulic steering depending on the model. This feature enables
the operator to tilt the wheel up or down. Refer to the steering system’s manual for
information on oil levels with hydraulic tilt steering.
