NOTICE
Ensure that tilt latch boot (Item 10)
is properly tted into the slots
provided in the lower bezel.
STEP 1. Using the template provided (page 4) confirm that the location of
the Tilt Helm will allow unrestricted operation of the steering wheel in ALL
tilt positions and will NOT interfere with any adjacent equipment, as well
as hardware behind the dash.
STEP 2. Tape the template to the dash and use a center punch for locating
the holes on the dash. Double check to ensure unrestricted operation of
the steering wheel in ALL tilting positions. Drill the 3” diameter center
hole and the three mounting bolt holes as shown in the template.
STEP 3. Mount tilt plate (Item 1) to the dash using the three 1/4-20 UNC
x 2" carriage bolts (Item 2), washers (Item 3) and self-locking nuts
(Item 4). Torque nuts to 110 in-lbs (12.4 N-m).
STEP 4. Install ORB fittings into rear of helm as required on page 5.
Note the ideal fitting angles permitting the most efficient hose routing,
minimizing bends and avoiding features behind the dash. Make hose
connections once helm has been successfully mounted.
STEP 5. Install the remote fill brass fitting, hose and clamp to helm as per
the section on Remote Fill installation. Complete the remaining remote
fill installation steps once the tilt helm has been successfully mounted.
STEP 6. Mount the helm pump from behind the dash to the mounting
plate so that the four helm mounting holes align with the applicable
holes in the tilt mounting plate. Helm fill port must now be at top dead
center position. Insert the four 1/4-20 UNC x 2-1/2" hex head bolts
(Item 5) through the mounting plate to secure them to the helm pump.
Torque bolts to 110 in-lbs (12.4 N-m).
STEP 7. Attach the helm shaft to the tilt mechanism (Item 6) by lining
up the coupling slot with the helm shaft tongue and secure with the
#10-24 UNC x 7/8" cap screw (Item 7). Torque both cap screws to
20–24 in-lbs (2.5 N-m).
STEP 8. Install the two PHMS 5/16-18 UNC x 3/4" screws (Item 8), and
star washers (Item 9) to secure the tilt mechanism to the dash plate.
Torque screws to 160–180 in-lbs (19.2 N-m).
STEP 9. Install boot latch (Item 10) onto the tilt latch of tilt mechanism.
STEP 10. Position the tilt unit in the middle position and fit the upper
bezel (Item 11) onto the tilt mechanism, ensuring the three bosses of
the upper bezel fit within the mating bores of the tilt mechanism flange
(Lip #1). Secure with three screws 8-32 X 1/2. Torque screws to 16 in-lbs
(1.8 N-m), ensuring cover is fully seated after screws are torqued down.
STEP 11. Fit the lower bezel (Item 12) over the upper bezel, making sure
the tabs at top dead center engage both notches on the mounting plate.
Secure with two screws 8-32 x 1/2. Torque screws to 16 in-lbs (1.8 N-m).
STEP 12. Grease steering shaft taper and threads with a good quality
marine grease.
STEP 13. Install woodruff key (Item 14) and wheel shaft nut (Item 15).
Tighten wheel shaft nut prior to continuing on with instructions. Torque
wheel shaft nut to 150 in-lbs (16.9 N-m), DO NOT exceed 200 in-lbs
(22.6 N-m).
STEP 14. Confirm proper function of the tilt mechanism:
• Push the tilt latch forward to unlock the tilt mechanism
• Check ALL positions of the tilt and confirm that the latch locks in place
for each position, tilt lever will click back into the locked position.
• Ensure operation of the wheel does not interfere with the dash or
adjacent equipment.
NOTICE
If the helm pump shaft is difcult
to locate into the tilt mechanism
coupling, loosen the TOP screw in
the coupling (gure 6a) by no more
than 1/4 of a turn. Once connected,
ensure that this screw is tightened
to the correct torque before
installing the bezels.
