NOTICE
DO NOT interfere with or restrict steering
o
cable movement through the last 0  of bend
at the engine. DO NOT use cable retainers,
clamps or tie straps. Using one or all of these
could restrict the cable movement near the
engine. DO NOT tie wiring harnesses or other
control cables to the steering cable. Make sure
the deck coaming pads and bulkheads allow
for steering cable movement in all positions
of trim.

will.be.harder.and.more.effort.will.be.needed.to.steer.
the.boat..Check.for.a.broken.or.loose.belt.on.the.
power steering pump. Also, low fluid levels in the
power.steering.pump.reservoir.will.cause.hard.steer-
ing..If.these.items.are.not.the.source.of.the.problem,.
check.for.equipment.or.other.items.lying.on.or.up.
against.the.steering.cable.at.the.back.of.the.boat...
The.cable.must.be.free.and.clear.to.slide.back.and.
forth..Any.item.blocking.free.movement.of.the.cable.
will.result.in.harder.steering.and.possible.damage..
to.the.steering.cable..
The tilt mechanism should not be adjusted
when the boat is moving. Sudden boat move-
ment may cause loss of balance resulting in
loss of control and/or injury.
