Steering Friction Adjustment
Tiller models are equipped with a steering friction
adjustment. Steering friction is not required when
remote steering is used.
Adjust steering friction with outboard mounted to
boat by loosening or tightening the adjustment
screw. Steering friction should be adjusted so a
slight drag is felt when turning.
