Steering Link Rod Fasteners
IMPORTANT:
The steering link rod that connects the steering cable to the engine must be fastened using the steering link rod
fastening hardware supplied with the engine. Never replace the locknuts with common nonlocking nuts; they will work loose
and vibrate off, allowing the link rod to disengage from the steering cable.
!
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.
Assemble the steering link rod to the steering cable with a flat washer and nylon insert locknut. Tighten the locknut until it seats,
then back nut off 1/4 turn.
