STEERING SYSTEMS
Mechanical Cables
All Evinrude outboards equipped with tilt tubes are
compatible with mechanical steering systems that
meet ABYC Standard P-17. Single-cable mechan-
ical steering syst ems can b e use d on single or
dual-outboard inst allations if an ABYC-approved
steering link is used.
Dual-cable mechanical steering helps provide firm
steering control at high speeds.
Extend the steerin g cable and lu bricate the in ner
core before installation.
IMPORTANT: Install ste ering cable thro ugh tilt
tube before mounting outboard o n tra nsom.
Tighten nut securely.
Manual Hydraulic Steering
Manual h ydraulic steeri ng systems use hydra ulic
fluid to transfer mo tion and load from the helm to
the outboard.
Use only a hydraulic steering system designed for
the specific application. Refer to the steering sys-
tem man ufacturer’s specificatio ns fo r recom-
mended applications.
IMPORTANT: Some hydraulic steering systems
require a dditional cen terline sp acing in d ual-out-
board installations. Refer to steering system man-
ufacturer’s recomme ndations an d to Dual-
Outboard Centerlines on p. 33.
