IMPORTANT: The steering link rod that connects the steering cable to the engine
must be fastened using special washer head bolt (“a” – Part Number 10-849838)
and self locking nuts (“b” & “c” – Part Number 11-826709113). These locknuts must
never be replaced with common nuts (non locking) as they will work loose and vi-
brate off freeing the link rod to disengage
WARNING
Disengagement of a steering link rod can result in the boat taking a full, sudden,
sharp turn. This potentially violent action can cause occupants to be thrown
overboard exposing them to serious injury or death.
