7-6 - ATTACHMENTS/CONTROL LINKAGE 90-824052R3 JUNE 2002
RideGuide Steering Cable/
Attaching Kit Installation
(92876A1)
Single Cable - Single High
Performance Outboard
Single cable steering installations for high perfor-
mance outboards - Pro Max/Super Magnum models
- ARE NOT RECOMMENDED.
CAUTION
It is recommended that boats capable of going
over 50 MPH be equipped with dual cable
steering and adjusted so that there is a minimum
of steering backlash. The more steering
backlash that exists, the more difficult it is to
control a high performance boat, particularly if
the hull has chine walking tendencies.
WARNING
Quicksilver RideGuide Outboard power Steering
is limited to 200 H.P. engines and CANNOT BE
USED ON ENGINES OVER 200 H.P. External
hydraulic steering systems are available from
aftermarket suppliers.
Single Cable - Single Production
Outboard
Refer to “Quicksilver Accessories Guide” to
determine correct length of steering cable and
remote control cables.
IMPORTANT: Steering cable and remote control
cables must be the correct length, sharp bends
on too-short cables result in “kinks”; too-long
cables require unnecessary bends and/or loops.
Both conditions place extra stress on the cables
and will reduce the performance of the steering
system.
INSTALLING RIDEGUIDE CABLE TO
OUTBOARD TILT TUBE
IMPORTANT: Before installing steering cable in
tilt tube, lubricate entire cable end with
Quicksilver 2-4-C w/Teflon.
NOTE: RideGuide steering cable is lubricated at the
factory and requires no additional lubrication at initial
installation.

entire cable end (b) with Quicksilver 2-4-C
w/Teflon.
2. Insert steering cable end thru outboard tilt tube
and secure steering cable to tilt tube with steering
cable attaching nut (c), as shown. Torque nut to
