SAFETY
Outboard Steering Control System and Safety
What is most important?
The steering system:
• Must not come apart;
• Must not jam; and
• Must not be sloppy or loose.
The outboard steering system starts
here at the steering wheel...
...and ends here at the
trim tab on the outboard.
What could happen?
• If steering system comes apart, boat might turn suddenly and circle. Persons thrown into the water
could be hit.
• If steering jams, operator may not be able to
avoid obstacles. Operator could panic.
• If steering is loose, boat may weave while operator
tries to steer a straight course. With some rigs (at
high speed), loose steering could lead to loss of
boat control.
