2000-2004 Four Winns Vista 248 268 Owners Manual

The helm and  cable assembly should  be so adjusted
that the steering wheel is centered with the drive in the
straight ahead position. There should be an equal num-
ber of turns to port and starboard from the straight ahead
position.  If  adjustment becomes necessary, see your
Four Winns® dealer.
After the first two hours of running time, check
the entire steering system for loose bolts, nuts
and  fasteners which  could  adversely  affect
steering control.
NOTICE
All cables, helm assemblies, and steering connections
should be periodically lubricated with a light, waterproof
grease or as indicated in the manufacturer’s information
provided.
Check the fluid level in the reservoir periodically.
Low power steering  fluid levels may  increase
steering difficulty.
NOTICE
DO NOT interfere with or restrict steering cable
o
movement through the last  90  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
cablestothesteeringcable.   Makesurethedeck
coaming pads and bulkheads allow for steering
cable movement in all positions of trim.
When storing equipment in the engine compart-
ment, be sure to avoid contact with the steering
cable. Cables may become kinked or damaged
and may increase steering effort.

manual.
Steering effort can vary significantly with engine
acceleration, steering angle, trim angle, and sea
condition.  Be prepared for additional steering
loads at all times.
G - 2     STEERING SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
A periodic inspection of all steering cables, linkage and
helm assemblies should be made.  Signs of corrosion,
cracking, loosening of fastenings, excessive wear, or de-
terioration should be immediately corrected.  Failure to
do so could lead  to steering system failure and corre-
sponding loss of control.
