WARNING
Insufficient friction adjustment can cause serious injury or death due to loss of boat control. When
setting the friction adjustment, maintain sufficient steering friction to prevent the outboard from steering
into a full turn if the tiller handle or steering wheel is released.
Steering Friction Adjustment - Adjust this screw to achieve the desired steering friction (drag) on the
steering wheel. Turn screw clockwise to tighten friction or turn counterclockwise to loosen friction.
