Next, install steering hose anti-kink retainer onto
the:
• PORT hydraulic hose IF the port cable entry is
used.

cable entry is used (shown).
IMPORTANT: Make sure the steering hose anti-
kink retainer is installed on the hydraulic hose as

on the hydraulic hose.
• anti-kink retainer should be positioned to pre-
vent the hydraulic hose from chafing against the
rigging center.
Then route the hydraulic steering hoses through
the rigging center as shown. Take care NOT to
kink the hoses during installation.
Hydraulic Hose Connections

the helm to the hydraulic steering fitting on the
STARBOARD stern bracket. Tighten the nut by
hand until fittings are seated.

This can result in loss of boat control and
injury to the occupants.
