TIPS FOR BETTER STEERING

#1. Make sure trim tab is set as shown below.

This will counteract the rotational torque of the propeller.

#2. Install Link arm to the outer connecting point.

(60HP Merc 4stroke shown)

#3. Some models have a friction screw.

Make sure it is NOT Tight.

#4. Adjustment of tilt/trim pins.

#5. Motor Height (You may need dealer assistance).

The cavitation plate on the outboard should be nearly level with

the running pad of the boat.

#6. Motor support is Recomended.

If you do not have a motor support, make sure the steering lever

is in Full Forward Position while transporting.

7. Check Steering Equipment Regularly.

The control lever is manufactured

as a straight control lever. Do Not attempt to redesign,

refabricate or bend control lever.

If your lever becomes bent, Replace it!!!

8. Do NOT overgrease output ram. A light weight machine oil is better!

Grease tends to work its way into the core section of the cable

and over a period of time will dry out and your cable will become stiff.

9. Always wear a personal floatation device.

10. Always connect kill-switch before starting engine.
