Step 3: Turn the steering wheel so that the maximum amount of
steering cable is seen.
Step 4: Use solvent to clean old lubricant from the cable end,
pivot and rudder shaft.

over the cable end. Work the steering wheel back and
forth and re-apply grease if necessary.

Lubricate the Shift and Throttle System
Because this process should be completed while all moving
components of the drive train are not in motion, we recommend you
do this while the boat is out of the water.
Step 1: Ensure the engine is OFF and disconnect the engine safety
starting switch. Be sure that the throttle/shift control lever is
in neutral. The engine must be cool.
Step 2: Open the engine box and locate the shift and throttle cable
ends.
Step 3: Shift to full-throttle-forward.
Step 4: Lubricate the cable ends and connections with a coating of waterproof marine multi-purpose grease.
Step 5: Lubricate the pivots and linkages with a light grease.
Step 6: Shift the control lever from full-throttle-forward to full-throttle-reverse several times to work the lubricant in.
Check the Ballast Pump Impeller
This applies only to boats equipped with some type of
ballast system. The number of ballast pumps varies from system
to system. You may need guidance from your dealer to locate
any and all pumps.
Step 1: Remove two of the cover screws and retain the screws
for the reinstallation process. Swing the cover out of the
way to allow access to the impeller location.
Step 2: Using the needle-nose pliers, pull the old impeller out
of the casing.
