(not.follow.a.straight.line).when.operated.at.low.speeds..
This.condition.is.normal.and.can.be.corrected.only.by.
increasing.engine.RPM..Wind,.water.currents.and.play.
in.steering.components.can.cause.equivalent.effects.
If equipped with power steering, check
the fluid level in the reservoir periodically.
Low power steering fluid levels may increase
steering difficulty.cables to the steering cable.
Make sure the deck coaming pads and bulk-
heads allow for steering cable movement in
all positions of trim.
Steering effort can vary significantly with
engine acceleration, steering angle, trim angle,
and sea condition. Be prepared for additional
steering loads at all times.
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.
G - 3    STEERING SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
A.   General 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.deterioration.should.be.immediately.correct-
ed..Failure.to.do.so.could.lead.to.steering.system.
failure.and.corresponding.loss.of.control.
NOTICE
When storing equipment in the engine com-
partment, be sure to avoid contact with the
steering cable. Cables may become kinked or
damaged and may increase steering effort.
NOTICE
Check all bolts, nuts and fasteners for tightness.
NOTICE
DO NOT force the steering unit to either ex-
treme. This can place undue strain on the unit
and can lead to hydraulic line or seal failure.
B.   Rotary System Maintenance
The.helm.and.cable.assembly.should.be.so.adjusted.
that.the.steering.wheel.is.centered.with.the.drive.or.
outboard.engine.in.the.straight.ahead.position...
There.should.be.an.equal.number.of.turns.to.port..
and.starboard.from.the.straight.ahead.position...
If.adjustment.becomes.necessary,.see.your.
Four.Winns.dealer.
It is important that the power steering fluid be main-
tained at the proper level. Do not over fill the power
steering.pump.reservoir..Please.consult.the.section.
in.the.engine.manual.regarding.steering.system.and.
maintenance..The.engine.manual.is.included.in.the.
owner’s.packet..
Check.all.metal.parts.at.the.cable.output.end.for.
corrosion..Remove.any.old.grease.from.the.cable..
ram.and.motor.swivel.connections.using.a.mild.
solvent.such.as.WD-40..Spray.the.cleaned.areas..
with.a.moisture-displacing.lubricant.and.apply.a.light.
coat.of.good.quality.marine.grease..Do.this.with.the.
ram.fully.extended..See.Figure.G-2.
G - 2    PROPELLER TORQUE
The.propeller.rotation.of.a.single.engine.operation..
will.exert.a.directional.force.on.the.steering.system..
This.can.cause.the.steering.to.be.harder.in.one..
direction.than.the.other,.and.is.called.propeller.torque..
If.this.occurs,.adjust.the.drive.or.outboard’s.trim.tab.
