• Fit the clevis bracket to the tiller/quadrant
i) Use manual helm to set the rudder to
the centerline position.
ii) Using the information from the
installation envelope diagram, drill
an 0.375in (9.5mm) diameter hole
through the tiller/quadrant at a
distance of 6in (152mm) from the
rudder stock*.
* The clevis bracket can be mounted to a
separate tiller arm if a suitable location is not
available on the tiller/quadrant
ii) Fit the clevis bracket to the tiller as
shown in Fig B41, ensuring that the
plastic bushes, bracket, washer etc
are fitted in the correct order.
iii) Tighten the locking nut and torque to
180-200in-lb (20-22.5Nm). The screw
has a locking thread which increases
the amount of torque required initially
as the thread is cut.
iv) Remove the quick release locking pin
from the bracket.
• Fit the 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 steering
cable into the threaded end of the
guide tube (Fig B42).
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 .
