cylinder bracket at this time.
NOTE: It is also necessary to connect the continuity
cable ring to the port side stud (if applicable), if this has
not been previously done.

NOTE: For a twin engine installation with an internal tie
bar, verify center to center stern drive mounting distance
and adjust tie bar to length to match. Attach the tie bar
to the tiller arms with the hardware provided (see Figure
