TEERING
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 within 1/2 inch (1.3cm) from the base of
the fill 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.
