B6c Installation

• Prepare the steering cylinder

i)  Use manual helm to set the steering 

cylinder to the mid stroke position as 

shown in Fig B32 (it may be neces-

sary to run the engine to do this).

ii)  Remove the cotter and clevis pins 

that connect the primary steering 

cable rod end to the steering

  cylinder clevis bracket.

• Fit the secondary steering cable to the guide tube

i)  The cable nut, guide tube thread 

and inside of the guide tube should 

be liberally lubricated with marine 

quality grease before assembly.

ii)  Insert the rod end of the secondary 

steering cable into the threaded 

end of the guide tube (Fig B33).

iii) Hand tighten the cable nut and 

torque to 175in-lb (20Nm)*. Note 

that the nut has an internal locking 

thread which increases the amount 

of torque required initially as the 

thread is cut.

 

* There should be NO movement between 

the outer cable jacket and the guide tube 

when the nut is fully tightened .

• Fit the two clamp assemblies to the guide

  tube and cable assembly

i)  The anti-vibration washers must 

be fitted in the correct order on the 

clamp assemblies, with the serrated 

face of the washer in contact with 

the nut face and the clamp face. The 

cam face of the washers must be in 

contact with each other (Fig B34).

iv) Slacken the nuts enough so that the 

clamps can slide over the guide tube. 

Locate the clamps in the YELLOW 

color coded slots as shown.

 Do not 

tighten the nuts at this stage .
