Steering Link Rod Fasteners
IMPORTANT: The steering link rod that connects the steering
cable to the engine must be fastened using special washer head
bolt ("e" ‑ Part Number 10‑856680) and self‑locking nylon insert
locknuts ("b" 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.
