IMPORTANT: Visually inspect for fuel leakage from the drain screw by
squeezing the primer bulb until firm, forcing fuel into the chamber.
Steering Link Rod Fasteners
IMPORTANT: The steering link rod that connects the steering cable to the
engine must be fastened using a special washer head bolt ("a" ‑ Part Number
10‑849838) and self‑locking nylon insert locknuts ("c" and "d" ‑ Part Number
11‑826709113). These locknuts must never be replaced with common nuts
(nonlocking) as they will work loose and vibrate off, freeing the link rod to
disengage.
!
WARNING
Improper fasteners or improper installation procedures can result in
loosening or disengagement of the steering link rod. This can cause a
sudden, unexpected loss of boat control, resulting in serious injury or death
due to occupants being thrown within or out of the boat. Always use required
components and follow instructions and torque procedures.
