Basic components
Steering friction adjuster
A friction device provides adjustable resistance to the steering mechanism, and can be set
according to operator preference. An adjusting screw or bolt is located on the swivel bracket.
To increase resistance, turn the adjuster clockwise.
To decrease resistance, turn the adjuster counterclockwise.
WARNING
Do not over tighten the friction adjuster. If there is too much resistance, it could be difcult to
steer, which could result in an accident.
Thrust rod
The position of the thrust rod determines the minimum trim angle of the outboard motor in
relation to the transom.
Tilt support lever
To keep the outboard motor in the tilted up position, lock the tilt support lever to the clamp
bracket.
Top cowling lock lever
To remove the engine top cowling, pull up the lock lever and lift off the cowling. When installing
the cowling, check to be sure it ts properly in the rubber seal. Then lock the cowling by moving
the lever(s) downward.
